In April 2023, Robert and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen welcomed their daughter, Gia. Now a father of seven, Robert is excited about the journey of fatherhood at this stage of his life. “It feels great because everything I’m consumed with or worried about or this or that just goes away when I look at her,” he shares.
During an interview, Robert expressed the happiness Gia has brought into his life. “She’s pure joy; there’s nothing about her, there’s no judgement, there’s no anything. She just is what she is, and it’s just pure joy for God’s sake.”
