Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen are taking the Tribeca Film Festival abroad.
On Friday, Oct. 18, De Niro, 81, and his partner, Chen, rode a golf cart through the Tribeca Festival Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal, where the New York City-based film festival held its inaugural international event over the weekend. De Niro and Chen, who share 1-year-old daughter Gia, were seen smiling and chatting as they rode on the back of the vehicle as it went through the festival.
De Niro is a co-founder of Tribeca Festival in New York City; the actor said in a September press release that it “means a great deal to us to bring [the spirit of Tribeca] to Lisbon — a city bursting with renewed cultural and economic promise.”
Tribeca Festival Lisboa showcased eight U.S. movies, including the Portuguese premiere of De Niro’s most recent film, Ezra. He also participated in one of the many star-studded panels, which also included appearances by Whoopi Goldberg, Patty Jenkins and actor Griffin Dunne.

The couple first met on the actor’s 2015 movie, The Intern, but they were not publicly romantically linked until August 2021, when they were seen vacationing together in France.
