| De Niro, 75, and Grace Hightower, 63, have been 
				living apart for some time, The Hollywood Reporter, celebrity 
				website TMZ and People magazine said, quoting anonymous sources.
 De Niro's spokesman did not return a request for comment.
 
 The "Raging Bull" actor and Hightower married in 1997 and have 
				two children. It was De Niro's second marriage.
 
 "Sometimes things don't work out the way you hope or want them 
				to," a source close to the family told People magazine.
 
 De Niro, one of America's most respected actors and winner of 
				two Oscars, has tended to keep his family and his private life 
				out of the spotlight.
 
 He made headlines last month when he was among a slew of critics 
				of U.S. President Donald Trump who were sent crude pipe bombs in 
				the mail. None of the devices exploded and a Florida man was 
				arrested and is awaiting trial.
