Robert De Niro has reportedly split from his wife Grace Hightower after more than 20 years.

The 75-year-old is said to be no longer living with his second wife, 63, according to a new report by PageSix.

An official announcement is expected in the coming weeks though representatives offered no comment when approached by Metro.co.uk on Tuesday night.

Sources told PageSix: De Niro and Grace are breaking up.

Robert and Grace were last pictured together during the Tribeca Film Festival in 2018, and their 21st wedding anniversary followed in June.

Appearing to confirm the split, a second source told People: Sometimes things dont work out the way you hope or want them to.

Earlier this year, Roberts lawyer appeared to confirm that the couple legally divorced in 1999, only two years after first getting married, but there are no records to say it was finalised.

It was previously believed that Robert filed for divorce but never followed through with it, which would make claims of a secret divorce one of the best-kept secrets in Hollywood.

The couple first met at Mr. Chow in London in 1987, married 10 years later in 1997 and welcomed their first child, Elliot, 20, the following year.

According to Radar, they allegedly remarried in 2004 under the guise of a vow renewal ceremony and their second child, Helen, six, arrived by surrogate in 2011.

Only this August, insiders told the publication that Bob and Grace were happier than ever.

Its well known their marriage has had its share of low points, but theyve seemed to overcome them all.

Theyve been together 20 years — and thats a lifetime by Hollywood standards!

Bob divorced his first wife Diahnne Abbott in 1988.
