Of course you see #RobertDeNiro trending and immediately think the worst - you think oh no some Leftist wanker is accusing an "old white man" of SAYING something. But it turns out it's just celebrity gossip for the asinine Hoi Polloi. He's getting a divorce.

Celebs are the worst when it comes to marriage! There should be a slogan when it comes to celebrity marriages 'Marriage Is Not Forever' #Celeb #Celebs #Celebrity #Marriage #Slogan #PowerCouple #MarriageIsNotForever #RobertDeNiro #GraceHightower

After 20 year's, it shouldn't be called a split. It should be rather called a mutual decision between two matured people over a handshake, saying goodbye to each other. ❤

I've never heard of her but she looks like a lovely lady. I can't imagine anyone living with Robert. Especially now that he's gone bat shit crazy.
