In an interview with ETCanada, reporter Brittnee Blair said: "I know you have six kids..."
Robert replied: "Seven, actually. I just had a baby."
The 'Godfather' star did not reveal anything else regarding the new arrival and it remains unclear who the mother of his latest child is, but he did admit that his brood does not consider him to be a "cool dad" and explained that he often "argues" with his 11-year-old as she approaches adolescence and often has no choice but to employ an air of discipline with his kids.
He added: "I'm not a cool dad, I'm I’m okay.You know, my kids disagree with me at times, and they’re respectful. My daughter, she is 11, she gives me grief sometimes and I argue with her. I adore her, but, you know. And my youngest now, that’ll be more to come. But, that’s what it is. I mean, there’s no way around it with kids. I don’t like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, [sometimes] you just have no choice. nd any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt but sometimes you can’t."
