Grace Hightower Biography

Grace Hightower, an American actress, singer, and philanthropist, is best known as the wife of Robert De Niro. Born in 1955, Hightower initially started her career as a flight attendant for Trans World Airlines (TWA). However, she later ventured into modeling, where her striking looks, tall stature, and beautiful face made her remarkably successful.

Hightower first met actor Robert De Niro in 1987 in London, and the couple got married in 1997. While their married life wasn't always smooth sailing, with rumors of a divorce just two years after their wedding, their separation was never finalized, and De Niro and Hightower reconciled. According to close sources, their bond even grew stronger than before.

In 1998, De Niro and Hightower welcomed their son, Elliot. In 2011, the star couple once again made headlines. Despite Hightower being 56 and De Niro being 68 at the time, they became parents again. Their daughter, Helen Grace, was born through a surrogate mother. Weighing just over three kilograms, her birth was a Christmas gift for the family.

Apart from Helen and Elliot, De Niro has four other children from previous relationships. Hightower's name also made headlines in 2005 when she, along with Candice Bergen and Renee Rockefeller, became victims of a kleptomaniac maid named Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz. The stolen diamond earrings belonging to Hightower were valued at $95,500.
