Legendary actor Robert De Niro and his wife, Grace Hightower-De Niro (former flight attendant) are seen arriving to the Vanity Fair & Tribeca Film Festival Gala on Tuesday night in NYC.
The couple has been married since ’97 and have one son together.
Robert De Niro (along w/ Jane Rosenthal) founded the Tribeca Film Festival in 2002 in a response to the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center.
It’s no secret that Mr. De Niro loves black women, he even made a movie about it; 93′s ‘A Bronx Tale’ (see it if you haven’t).

i love seeing men of a different race into women of flavor and color… i, myself, am a latina… but i love me my black men
Beautiful! And today I was just thinking that I’m probably going to marry a white man! For some reason they’ve been showing a sista a lot of attention lately… I don’t know if its just because i’m now opening my eyes up to it or what!?! I love my brothers but i have to switch it up a little bit.
Lol i dont have time to read haha.
Yeh but i did read it so dont get mad at me !
Yeh i saw bronx tale that film was cute and sad at the same time..
remember when ashanti and Lloyd tried to rip off the film wit their video ‘southside’????
Hahahhahaah yeh its all comin back now
aww they’re a cute couple, his wife is very pretty
Lvely looking couple.. Robert De Niro is a legend!
Wow his wife is black who would’ve of thought?? lol shes beautiful though..
#8 WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT?…I WOULD’VE THAT’S WHO LOL…EVER SINCE HE ADOPTED THOSE TWINS WITH THAT CHICK FROM 227. THE BLACK CHICK WITH THE BLONDE HAIR & HIGH VOICE (TOOKIE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT)
I DIDN’T LIKE THAT SEASON OF 227 WITH STONEY JACKSON & THEM…. & WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CALVIN?
SORRY I’M GETTING WAY OFF TOPIC..
ANYWAY…HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS…LOVE HIM!
that’s a goergous couple…they’re cute
Please show more of this couple and other/older reverse interracial couples other than Halle, because the mainstream (white) media shuns interracial couples that include a black female. They virtually picture Deniro alone and/or trim his wife out. Would love to see one with his kids. Also the film critic guy. Thanks Angel!
he got a black wife>???????!!!!!
Another Black Sista BRAINWASHED & taken by a DEVIL…

@fififj #11
How about you shut the hell up… Interacial couples with a BLACK female will NOT be allowed. I’m trying to get into the entertainment industry just so I can make sure it won’t be allowed. Devils don’t deserve black women, like that Devil with Halle Berry. All he wants from Halle is her sex. But sadly these sistas get brainwashed and don’t love black men anymore. It amazes me why a sista would seek the love of a inbred DEVIL/ descendant of cavemen. The white mans brain has not evolved much since the days of the cro-magnons & Neanderthals. A white man could never love a black woman it is not in his Satanic nature.
De Niro is cool, but why is his tongue out in every pic?
Also, love to see just about any happy couple (I’m gonna admit to hating on some).
i love interracial couples!!! lol they are so cute lol
LIL Goon-please seek help STAT!!
(@ lil goon) How bout you eat a bean pie and shut the f*&^K up oh militant one. Damn this is a free country I aint even hatin on if Dinero like sistas, glad for him. HATER…
Loved him in Meet The Fockers.
PPL ON THIS WEBSITE ALWAYS!!!!! HAVE SOMETHING TO HATE ABOUT!!!!
RELAX AND ENJOY THE HAPPY COUPLE I BET HALF OF YALL DONT EVEN HAVE ANYBODY …..LOL
Robert Deniro i love you and Grace as always very beautiful and classy. Yes Robert is into black women has only ever dated them. And to FIFIFJ another one to know is Goerge Lucas (Star Wars, Indiana Jones) he is with a black woman Melody Hobson. It seems the media just wants black women to be deluded that no race of men really want them so that we can all fight tooth and nail over the “few black men” instead of opening our eyes to other possibilities like Channing Tatum, Shia Lebouf etc you get my point. Lil Goon just crawl back into the gutter you came from ignorant fool
She is very pretty, get it Dinero!!! LOL
i went to his wikipedia, deniro has 5 black kids, count them 5, did not know that, and he LOVES him some black women, all his relationships in the last 30 years have been with black women.
LIL GOOn shut da hell up…if you sooo damn concerened about BLACK women having a good man then why dont you go and find a GOOD sister in need of A GOOD BLACK MAN….you ignoramous
You ignorant bastard its ppl like yourself that keep racisim up high……
Its a beautiful thing to see two ppl that are not of the same background come together and discover love despite there physical differences..and others SHALLOW IGNORANT AZZ OPINIONS..wise the hell up…God created all men and if your ass wasnt walkin around with one EYE OPEN you would realize all men NOT JUST WHITE have some kind of “devil” or evil within them…its called nobodys perfect….thats why theres a God to help steer us away from what makes the Devil smile and dance……and it isnt seeing two ppl inlove black or white or black with white….LOSER.
Anyways I did not know Deniro was married to a black sister…he gets mad love from me for not only havin TASTE IN WOMEN
lol but being with his wife for more then a decade. God Bless them both…..
Bronx Tale is one of my favorites!!!! They look good!
You Black Sistas are brainwashed if you feel this is ok.
As the Great Prophet Elijah Muhammad said.
“Never Trust a Devil. He may try to be a good person, but the Satanic nature deep within him will never go away.”
She looks like Phylicia Rashaad (sp), nice looking couple.
@lil goon, you do know Halle Berry is half-White? I mean, should she go around calling her mother the devil?
Italians love chocolat….
@ LIL GOON – you need prayer, smh
WOW, I NEVER KNEW HIS WIFE WAS BLACK. HAPPY FOR THEM BOTH, TRUE LOVE IS SO HARD TO FIND. I DO HAVE GUYS CHECKING ME OUT FROM OTHER RACES BUT I’M JUST NOT REALLY INTO THAT…ALTHOUGH AS OF LATE, THE FEW BLACK MEN FLOATING AROUND HAVE BEEN REAL LOW ON MY RADAR, MIGHT BE TIME TO SWITCH IT UP…HMM BUT NO
I love all of Robert Deniro’s movies as well, at least the older ones. Havnen’t watched too much of his recent stuff.
Haven’t (thats what I get for not proofreading first). LOL!!
@NikNak
I don’t include women when I speak of devils.
De Niro has ALWAYS been down with the swirl.
I love him! Such a classy, sexy, older man. He’s also one of my fav actors.
I’m happy he has him a classy black woman on his arm.
Go Robbie!
Lil Goon, SHUT THE HELL UP!
You’ve prolly been shunned by black women or something. But who could blame them, you’re a self proclaimed “GOON”. No wonder you’re angry.
I can’t say enough LOVE Robert De Niro. LOOOOOVE a Bronx Tale, that movie is prolly in my top 20 of favorite movies EVER. (and you can’t hate it, because that movie introduced us to Taral Hicks…who is just GORGEOUS!)
@ Lil Goon….you are Judah aren’t you…? No hate, this is just a question and answer it honestly!
@ lil goon…things like this really disappoint me…its comments like that which portray black people in a bad way and show us moving backwards instead of forward.
Firstly, God created us not to be segregated. If you truly know the Bible then you will know that for Joseph to accomplish the things he did, and be the person he was, he had to come from a mixed heritage.
Secondly, the devil himself knows the ins and outs of the Bible, so you quoting, means nothing cos to me you seem to be the devil, judging and dictating nonsense, stopping the works and creation of God from happening.
Third, with a name like lil Goon, well that says a lot, as ‘goon’ is a term for a thug and also means fool, so i guess you’re just living up to the name.
Get educated and learn when to talk. I personally love this representation of an interracial couple and if you’re representing our race as a male, is it any surprise that women are now dating outside of their race when they have ignorant insecure ‘goons’ like yourself who have a dick for a brain in the first place.
Yeah Rob D. has always been into the sistas (pumps fist in the air). He has twin adopted kids with Toki Smith -model and actress from 227 from way back in the day.
He look like he is loving her and she is loving him!! Cute couple!
oooooh wee!! mr. deniro love him so black women! lol
Lil Goon, you need to wake up and open ur eyes! We are blessed to live in a liberal society, well I do in England, and let ppl date who they please! Who are you to be passing judgement! I’m in a happy relationship w\ a half Thai and half Italian young guys, and me being half Jamaican and half Nigeria, I cudnt think of anything more beauitful………love this site btw, so amazing!
who would have thought?? good for them for having had each other in the last decade.. ive only been with my man for half a decade and i cant wait for the next half a decade… lil goon.. i dont even want to waste any time on u…
Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of famous women of color (particularly African-Americans, and mixed blacks) who have dated or married white men or men outside their race:
1. Zoe Saldana
2. Kerry Washington
3. Salli Richardson
4. Victoria Rowell
5. Tyra Banks
6. Joy Bryant
7. Halle Berry
8. Nicole Narain
9 Thandie Newton
10. Eve
11. KD Aubert
12. Rihanna
13. Paula Patton
14. Leona Lewis
15. Naomi Campbell
16. Sharon Leal
17. Sanaa Lathan
18. Stacey Dash
19. Iman
20. Sherri Saum
21. Cynda Williams
22. Lena Horne
23. Zoe Kravitz
24. Tatyana Ali
25. Mel B
26. Robin Givens
27. Traci Bingham
28. Jordin Sparks
29. Alesha Dixon
30. The Williams Sisters
31. Grace Jones
And those are just the ones I could name off the top of my head.
Bottom line is this: If you’re a female and you’re keeping yourself looking good, then you’ll have no problem attracting any man black, white, latino, middle eastern, indian, asian, etc. All you gotta do is take your pick. Even Whoopi Goldberg has had plenty of men (mostly white).
Nobody of any color whether male or female should get angry when they see an interracial couple–it’s 2009!
@ lil goon I hate making bad comments but you are what they called ignorant very ignorant I’m sorry no human being(white person should be called a devil and you need prayer.
@lilgoon:
Your name fits you perfectly: You’re a GOON. In case you don’t know what a goon is, it means STUPID as hell.
People should be with whoever they want to be. I wonder if you consider black men who abuse, cheat and degrade us women as “devils”. Probably not. Before you go into the entertainment industry, I suggest you get your GED first, because you need some serious learning. ASAP, on the rush, quickly, pronto.
I’m black and love my brown skinned brotha of a husband, but believe me, had he been white, I would have loved him just the same. Real love sees no color. Get over yourself. This isn’t 1964, and you’re not marching for justice. I doubt if the people who DID march for us would have wanted you on their team anyway. You’d probably hold the signs upside down or something.
Anyway, good for De Niro! You like who you like.
The best date I’ve ever been on was with a white man.
The best sex I’ve ever had was with a white man.
So devil, or no devil…I know where my heart is right now.
@SO WHAT
Sis, leave me out of this nonsense please. I don’t deal in subterfuge and quite honestly, it annoys me when people allege that every black male that understands that the white man is the devil must be me, lol. The implication is that 1) I give a damn about the opinion of cyberspace negroes 2) There is only one black man on earth that thinks like myself, lol. Many of you sisters are in for a very rude awakening very soon from all sides, i.e. black men, white people, and the other races. You’ve been used as pawns against your own people because of your simplicity. I’ve learned a long time ago that the black woman is not an entity that can be reasoned with, and most of you are not worth reasoning with. You all will have to be shown. I could care less which black women goes out with whoever of whatever race. Most of you cannot relate to the black male anyway, in any capacity. The brother, Lil Goon, seems to have his heart in the right place but he needs to realize that the black woman is gone until this place is destroyed.
@ASM
Don’t say “plenty”, say almost “every”, because the black woman is a concubine in the entertainment industry. Always has been, always will be.
Oh, now black men wanna claim black women is theirs. B.S. Sorry, it’s too late. Should have been doing that from the friggin’ beginning.
Yall now finding out Robert De Niro is into black women. All yall fools is late, late like hell,lol.
Anyway, she is a beautiful woman. Wait a minute, the Tribeca film festival started already!!!! You know how long I wanted to go!!!
I think they look great together. I didn’t know but good for them. They look very happy to. It makes me very proud when sista’s turn the other cheek. When real men start treating them like the true queen’s that they are. Good for you Robert and much love to you both. God Bless and much more happiness together.
Number 42
I totaly agree with you.. I’m dominican haitian, my husband is chinese and black..
people love is love.. it’s not about turning the other cheek or forgetting what white people did to our ancesters.. when you fall in love iwth someone.. I mean real love, you can’t control that.
This post is becoming comical. I knew good and damn well, the usual suspect(s) would show up. MUUUUUWWUUUUHHAAAHHAAA.
What I would love know is, why none of my questions were answered in the last post??? I thought they were all fairly reasonable and appropriate. None of the questions were written out disrespect but out of curiousity. Im still a little tickled that the questions that I posted had nothing to do with the post but your comments did.
I dont even need to say who I am talking to…
LOOOVE this couple!! Mrs. DeNiro is always so classy when they step out!
Also, Angel “A Bronx Tale” is based on Chazz Palminteri ‘s life but it’s all good..Italian men loooove them some sistas..lol…..

There really isn’t anything more beautiful than interracial relationships, thus I gotta give props to Robert DeNiro! Besides, A Bronx’s Tale is my favorite movie ever, I love it.
As for Goon (your name was well-chosen indeed) what you’re saying is the biggest piece of BULLSHIT I’ve ever heard and I can’t believe that we are in the 21st century and yet some people still think in such a narrow-minded way. It is truly sad.
# 11.. I BELIEVE YOU ARE THINKING OF ROGER EBERT, FROM EBERT AND ROEPER..HE USED TO DATE OPRAH BACK IN THE DAY TOO LOL..BUT IF IM BEING HONEST..IT SEEMS THAT PEOPLE ON HER ARE ONLY FINDING IT “CUTE” OR ACCEPTABLE IF IT IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN SISTAH WHO IS DATING/ MARRIED TO A WHITE MAN, BUT LETS KEEP IT REAL FOR A MOMENT, IF IT WAS SOMEONE LIKE DENZEL, WILL, OR ANY OF OUR PROMINENT AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN, MARRIED TO/ DATING A WHITE WOMAN, HALF OF YOU ON HERE WOULD BE SINGING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE, AND THE COMMENTS WOULD BE A COMPLETE 180 FROM WHAT THEY ARE NOW. DON’T GET ME WRONG, I EMBRACE AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL, LOVING, COMMITTED INTERRACIAL COUPLES OUT THERE LIKE MR. AND MRS. DE NIRO (I EVEN REMEMBER SEEING MR. DE NIRO IN THE AUDIENCE AT THE SOUL TRAIN AWARDS WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL), BUT WHEN PEOPLE ONLY ARGUE FOR THE “EXCEPTIONS” LIKE SOME OF YOU ARE DOING NOW (I MAY BE WRONG), ITS A DAMN SHAME!
@ALCEE
Exactly, lmao. That’s why I said what I said concerning the black woman. They’re really not worth reasoning with, and hopefully the brother “Lil Goon” will 1) change his name 2) come to that understanding. The scriptures tell us that the black woman would be the black man’s enemy in these last days anyway. It is what it is.
@ Judah,
One question:Why do you come on this website in the first place? You are aware that this site caters to African American women and is made by a woman. We are not an entity to be reasoned with, yet, you are actively participate in discussions on this website. This is a “so-called” free country…granted! But you would think that someone who is presumed of higher strata than African American woman would be debating or discussing with people of his kind.
