Drena isn’t Robert’s biological daughter. The actor adopted her when he married her mom, actress Diahnne Abbott.
Although Drena doesn’t have Robert’s genes, she certainly has some of his talents. Over the years, she’s worked as a model, DJ, fashion consultant, and even ventured into acting.
Speaking about her personal life, not much is known about it, but what we know is that she has a son, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez.
Leandro is Robert De Niro’s eldest grandson.
His mom often posts his pictures on her Instagram page, and it looks like Leo is growing up by the day!
It’s too early for the young man to decide what he wants to do professionally, but he might follow his famous grandpa’s career path.
Drena has dabbled in acting since the ’90s, but she hasn’t had any major roles yet. Her latest appearance in a feature film was her role as Paulette Stone in A Star Is Born.
You may or may not remember that scene, but Leo also appeared in the film alongside his mom!
It’s easy to assume that a career in acting is a given for someone born in an artistic family, but we’ll have to wait and see if Leo wants to be like grandpa.
