Robert de Niro is allegedly keen on marrying his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. However, he was forced to postpone his plans for his marriage because he’s still fighting over money with his ex-wife, Grace Hightower.
A source told Globe that even though de Niro’s issues are understandable for most people, Chen doesn’t get why their wedding needs to be put on hold.
“Tiffany’s patience is running out. She’s ready to walk because he’s got a ton of baggage. Bob’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. Grace is still giving him grief and he groans that she’s all about money and her spending is outrageous,” the source said.
The insider also claimed that de Niro is feeling the stress and pressure of having to support his ex-wife financially. In fact, he previously complained about having to work at an unsustainable pace just to support Hightower’s demands.
“He feels he’s behind bled dry and worked to death. And co-parenting is no walk in the park either. De Niro’s always stressing over things and wants the lid closed on that chapter before he marries Tiffany. She’s a great girl, but he’s still on the ledge and blaming his ex,” the source said.
Unfortunately for de Niro, it seems that no one is on his side. After all, even Chen couldn’t understand why the actor is refusing to give Hightower what she wants so that she stopped for good.
Chen doesn’t also believe de Niro when he says that he’s broke because he’s been working in the industry for several decades.
At the end of the day, the actor is having a hard time deciding on what he should do.
“If he stopped fighting his ex, it would pave the way for them to marry. Tiffany doesn’t get it, but his friends who’ve known him all his life do. He’s stubborn and proud,” the source said.
As of late, there’s no proof that de Niro and Chen are in a rush to tie the knot. If they are, the couple would first get engaged. But the actor still hasn’t proposed to his girlfriend.
In fact, it’s unclear if the couple has plans to wed in the future. After all, de Niro is still legally married to Hightower. And it’s true that the couple is still dealing with finalizing their divorce.
