“Nothing better.”
After months of hype, Robert De Niro has finally met The Wiggles.
The 81-year-old “Goodfellas” actor, who welcomed his first child, seventh total, with girlfriend Tiffany Chen in April 2023, had previously opened up about his, and his daughter’s, love for The Wiggles.
On June 28, De Niro and Chen took their daughter, Gia, to see The Wiggles live in concert.

“What an honour it was to meet the legendary Robert De Niro and his family before our concert in New York City tonight,” The Wiggles wrote in an Instagram video documenting the backstage meet and greet.
“It was such a thrill,” they added in a separate post.
In the photos and videos shared by The Wiggles, De Niro can be seen sitting alongside his family as Gia fills the room with tiny bubbles.
The Wiggles even put on a mini performance for Gia and the rest of De Niro’s family.
De Niro and Chen, who first met while filming “The Intern” in 2015, have been publicly linked since August 2021, per People.
The “Taxi Driver” actor went viral in May 2023 when he revealed that he had welcomed his seventh child. Though he didn’t mention Chen by name at the time, she was later confirmed to be the baby’s mother.
The couple celebrated Gia’s second birthday on April 6, per People.
De Niro’s meet and greet with The Wiggles comes a few months after he admitted that he spends his mornings watching kids programming with his daughter.
“I’ve got a 19-month-old baby. I spend my mornings watching [the YouTuber for toddlers] Ms Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle,” he told “The Sunday Times” in an interview, published Jan. 4.
De Niro made no mention of The Wiggles in that interview, but he later added them to his itinerary.
De Niro opens up about his admiration for The Wiggles
During a Feb. 19 appearance on BBC Radio 2's “The Scott Mills Breakfast Show,” De Niro admitted that he doesn’t watch as many films as he wishes he could.
"Now I watch, with my little girl, The Wiggles and Ms. Rachel,” he told host Scott Mills, per Newsweek.
De Niro went on to admit that he had never heard of The Wiggles prior to welcoming his little girl and stopped short of confirming a future collaboration, but had plenty of good things to say about them.
“They're great! They got lots of energy. They're terrific,” he told Mills of The Wiggles.
De Niro again brought up The Wiggles during a March interview with Australian TV program “Sunrise,” where he was accompanied by his “The Alto Knights” co-star Debra Messing.
During the conversation, De Niro praised the Australian group for their tremendous energy, the songs they sing and the amount of work they put into their craft.
At one point in the interview, Messing recommended that De Niro attend a live Wiggles concert.
Now several months later, it appears De Niro took that recommendation to heart as he attended The Wiggles’ June 28 concert at King’s Theatre in Brooklyn, New York City.
The Wiggles are an Australian children’s music group originally formed in 1991 by members Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, Greg Page and Phillip Wilcher.
The crew has changed over the past few decades, but they offer the same, high-energy, fun-filled show.
