Robert De Niro And Grace Hightower Split: The Money Behind The Divorce

Hey there, friends. So, as you might’ve heard, Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower recently decided to part ways after over two decades of marriage. Yeah, that's a big deal. Sources are saying they aren’t living together anymore. But as with any major split, the story evolves, and now it seems money could’ve played a big role in their decision to go their separate ways.

According to a source talking to Life & Style, the 75-year-old Oscar-winning legend wasn’t thrilled about Grace’s spending habits. “She was spending his money like there was no end in sight,” the source explained. And here’s the kicker: “Bobby’s definitely made some movies just to pay the bills.” If you think about it, that makes a lot of sense. Just take a look at some of Robert’s recent films, like Dirty Grandpa. Yeah, that one stands out—unfortunately. It’s almost like he was taking roles just to keep the cash flowing.

Here’s the thing: the source goes on to say, “It might cost him a pretty penny now, but a divorce may actually leave Bobby with a retirement fund.” While this split might hit Robert’s wallet pretty hard, I don’t think we need to worry too much about his retirement savings. Honestly, the bigger concern is whether Dirty Grandpa will get a sequel. Spoiler alert: I’m still reeling from how bad that movie was.

Robert De Niro’s Take on the Split

Robert did share his thoughts on the divorce, speaking to Us Weekly. In a statement, he said, “Grace and I have two beautiful children together.” And let’s not forget, those kids are 20-year-old Elliot and six-year-old Helen. He continued, “We are entering a period of transition in our relationship, which is a difficult but constructive process.” He also expressed respect for Grace, saying, “I honor Grace as a wonderful mother and ask for privacy and respect from all as we proceed to develop our roles as partners in parenting.”

So, after hearing about this new report, it’s safe to say Robert might not be too keen on helping Grace develop her role as his personal shopper. Who could blame him, right?
