Love is in the air for Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen.

The 80-year-old actor and his 45-year-old girlfriend were photographed holding hands as they arrived at the state dinner held by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden to honor Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Wednesday evening.

The pair dressed to the nines for the lavish dinner, which was hosted in Washington, D.C.

De Niro looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo, while Chen wore a strapless, white floor-length gown. She kept warm by layering on a beige shawl decorated with black trim and accessorized with black pumps and a matching clutch.

The couple appeared to be in a fantastic mood ahead of the event — which was spent in the company of the world’s top politicians and businessmen such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, NASA administrator Bill Nelson and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — as they were seen smiling on their way inside.

The ritzy date night comes just days after De Niro and Chen celebrated their baby girl’s first birthday on Saturday.

The “Goodfellas” star revealed he and Chen — who he has been with since 2021 — welcomed their little one in May of last year after keeping her pregnancy private.

He made a rare comment about baby Gia during a February interview with People and called her “such an adorable baby.”

“The kids all get a big kick out of her. The grandkids even,” he added. “She’s their aunt — [and] they’re about to be teenagers!”

The pair split in 2018 but fought for years over finances, with the star accusing Hightower of spending his money frivolously.
