The infant made her daytime television debut on CBS Mornings.
When Robert De Niro’s girlfriend Tiffany Chen discussed her postpartum struggles on daytime television, she found comfort in their newborn child, Gia Virginia.
The baby, who was born in April, was seen cooing with her mother while being held in the arms of CBS Mornings host Gayle King, who was wearing a frilly dress.
After giving birth to her daughter, the 45-year-old conducted her first interview with the seasoned actor.
She shared with Gayle that after giving birth, she was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy and lost all facial movement. She had a strong message for expectant mothers: “Women should not feel hurt by it. “.
She described the feeling as feeling like everything was about to collapse on itself. “My face appeared to be melting in on itself. A week after giving birth, everything collapsed. “.
Bell’s palsy is a neurological condition where one of the nerves that control your facial muscles stops functioning properly or is injured, resulting in paralysis on one side or area of your face.
Tiffany, a fitness instructor and martial arts enthusiast, openly discussed her wonderful relationship with Robert and how he helped her through her health struggles.
She said that “he tried to say he didn’t see any difference, that he didn’t see any change.”. He replied, “No… You appear to be in good shape. ‘”.
“Really?” I exclaimed as my face collapsed in on itself. He was, nevertheless, strong and encouraging. “.
She was readmitted to the hospital immediately after complaining of the severe pain she had experienced after giving birth via C-section and the sagging of her face. Her lower lip had drooped to the point where it was difficult for her to speak.
The situation deteriorated to the point where Tiffany had to support it. Moreover, I had to hold my chin and use my lower lip to make specific sounds in order to speak. “I couldn’t even say ‘Bob. ‘”.
I couldn’t give her kisses. That made it harder. That’s what made me feel uneasy. “.
The only time vanity enters the picture is when I was worried that my child might get teased for having a strange-looking mother if things didn’t improve. It is the youngster’s response. “.
She concluded by saying she was enjoying being a mother and that having a daughter had strengthened her relationship with the Oscar winner, who is also the father of Drena (51), Raphael (46), the twins Julian and Aaron (27), Elliot (24), and Helen (11).
