Robert de Niro had his family close by for his last public appearance.
This weekend, the 80-year-old actor visited Art Basel in Miami, Florida, with his daughter Drena and his son Julian. De Niro was on hand to speak at the Tribeca Storytellers: Robert De Niro & JR In Conversation At Tribeca Festival event on Saturday.
In the audience for the chat were his two children, as well as De Niro’s Killers of the flower moon co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio.
While in Miami, Drena had a proud daughter moment when she shared some photos on Instagram from a day out with her father and brother.
The post led with a photo of Drena, Julian and De Niro, cheek-to-cheek in a photo booth. In the next image, Drena and Julian stood behind their father and kicked their legs up as they posed in an exhibit. The post continued with photos of the trio taking in the art, and another photo with JR.
Drena’s post concluded with a photo of a mural honoring her late son and De Niro’s grandson, Leandro, who died in July. He was 19.
“It’s a family affair. 24 hours of much needed joy, laughter, art, family time and friendship. What more could you ask for ♥️Thank you @juliansden @jr @janetribeca @nancyellenlefkowitz @danandtheory @_cyst1_ @dcmoregallery @robertdenirosr🕊️ @l .eand.r0 🕊️ #virginiaadmiral 🕊️and of course my 3 angels here on earth #NickyD #EllaD and #LexiD #miamiartbasel #arthealstheheart #cantspelllovewithoutleo,” Drena wrote.
Drena took to Instagram again to dedicate another post to the mural, with a photo of Leandro showing the peace sign with a red heart over his eye.
“Thank you @_cyst1_ for this incredibly moving tribute to our beautiful Leo. Thank you Marelos for making this possible on this fast journey so that we can experience this moment together. Pedro, you have brought much healing to mine, @juliansden and it heart of our father beautiful mural. #cantspelllovewithoutleo #wynwood #miami #mural #leandroforever 🖤♥️🕊️✨,” she wrote.
The post featured a photo of Drena with her arms wrapped around her father as they stood in front of the artwork.
In August, it was confirmed that Leandro died of an accidental overdose. Drena told ET in a statement: “It is with immeasurable shock and sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved son Leo. We thank you for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we be given privacy at this time to process this inconsolable grief. .”
In addition to 52-year-old Drena and 28-year-old Julian, De Niro is father to Julian’s twin brother, Aaron, Raphael, 47, Elliot, 25, Helen, 11, and Gia, whom he welcomed with his girlfriend , Tiffany Chen, in April .
In April the Killers of the Flower Moon star gushed to ET about fatherhood, saying, “It’s amazing!”
