The couple, who married in 1997 after meeting in London in 1987, also have a 13-year-old son called Elliot.
New Year's Eve actor De Niro has four other children - twin sons with former girlfriend Toukie Smith and a son and adopted daughter with ex-wife Diahnne Abbott.
In an interview with the Daily Mail De Niro has spoken in the past of his devotion to his kids.
He said: "One of the most important lessons I've learned in my years as a father is to keep the lines of communication open with my kids.
"I have five of them, ranging in age from 14 to their 30s, by three mothers, so I guess you could call it a fractionalised family of sorts.
"But I care deeply about all of them, and I have made a conscious effort to talk to and to listen to them.
"Sometimes it's hard to talk to kids, especially when they're teenagers. They're in their own world, and they don't look like they're even listening to you.
"But that's the time when it's most important to find a way to talk to them - not to lecture them, but to tell them things I think are important for them to know."
