People have been left ‘creeped out’ after discovering who Al Pacino welcomed his youngest child with, with some fans shocked by the details.
The Scarface and The Godfather actor has had quite the busy life, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
The Hollywood icon became a father for the fourth time in 2023, welcoming a baby boy named Roman at 83 years old.
The news sparked mixed reactions online, with some questioning his decision to have another child so late in life.
One person simply wrote: “Gross.”
“This is ridiculous. He should know better,” another commented.
But Pacino’s age wasn’t the only detail that caught people’s attention.
His sizable age gap with Roman’s mother also became a major talking point, as did her previous links to some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Mick Jagger and Clint Eastwood.
Al Pacino’s dating history
As one of the greatest actors of all time, it’s no surprise that people are so invested in Pacino’s personal life.
The actor has never married, but has had several high-profile relationships and welcomed four children with three different women.
He shared one of his longest relationships with The Godfather co-star Diane Keaton.
The actress told Vogue the pair first met at a New York bar before auditioning for the iconic mafia film and went on to date on and off for years, calling it quits around 1990.
Looking back at the relationship, Keaton told People: “I was mad for him. Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker.”
Keaton has also spoken about how their differing views on marriage contributed to their split.
In 2017, she told The Times: “We’re very eccentric, he needed a woman that was going to take care of him, I needed a man who would take care of me.
“It was just very important that we left each other alone, said goodbye. But it wasn’t my choice.”
Following Keaton’s death in 2025, Pacino reflected on their relationship with Deadline, saying she ‘on more than one occasion influenced the direction of my life.’
Pacino welcomed his first child, daughter Julie Marie, in 1989 with acting coach Jan Tarrant, who was also Angelina Jolie’s first acting coach.
He later had twins, Anton James and Olivia Rose, with actress Beverly D’Angelo, best known for playing Ellen Griswold in the National Lampoon’s Vacation films.
D’Angelo revealed that she met Pacino on a flight from Los Angeles to New York in 1996. He was sitting in front of her and invited her to sit beside him.
By the time they landed, a romance had begun.
She also revealed that in 1997, Pacino told her he wanted her to be the mother of his children.
The pair welcomed their twins in 2001, a whole 22 years before Pacino’s youngest son, Roman.
The actor has been open about his reluctance to marry, telling People he ‘just didn’t feel [marriage] ever suited me for some reason.’
In his 2024 memoir Sonny Boy, the actor wrote: “I’ve always shied away from marriage. I guess I didn’t see how it would help anything.
“I just wanted to avoid what I thought, at the time, was the inevitable: an entrance to the pain train.”
Despite never tying the knot, Pacino went on to welcome his fourth child with Noor Alfallah in 2023.
Who is Noor Alfallah?
Reports of Pacino dating film producer Noor Alfallah surfaced in 2022, with a sizable age gap of 54 years.
The pair first met at a dinner in Los Angeles and later spent a lot of time together during the pandemic.
Alfallah told Vogue Arabia that they would play chess and watch Pacino’s movies together, saying it was like ‘film school with Al Pacino.’
Talking about when they first met, Alfallah said: “I thought, wow, that’s Al Pacino. I went to film school, so I wasn’t dumb about who he was.
“But I had no intention of thinking like, oh, he is going to be my son’s father one day.”
Born in 1993, Alfallah is a Kuwaiti-American film producer from Beverly Hills. She studied for a master’s degree in Film and Television Producing at UCLA.
She has co-produced films such as The Apprentice, the Donald Trump biographical drama starring Sebastian Stan, and Dead Man’s Wire, starring Bill Skarsgård.
Alfallah has also worked professionally with Pacino on Billy Knight, a film starring the Hollywood icon and Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton.
She previously made headlines for her relationship with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who is more than five decades her senior.
The pair reportedly met in Paris while Jagger was touring with the band, with Alfallah later describing him as her first serious relationship.
She told HELLO! that their age difference didn’t matter to her, explaining that it had been a happy time in her life.
Rumors also circulated about a possible relationship with Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood.
However, she denied dating Eastwood, insisting they were simply family friends.
‘Good girl with an old soul’
Despite speculation surrounding her relationships with wealthy older men, sources familiar with Alfallah have defended her.
Speaking to Page Six, insiders claimed that Alfallah comes from a wealthy family herself, with her father reportedly working as an oil investor.
One source described her as a ‘good girl with an old soul,’ adding that she has a youthful spirit.
“A guy in his 70s or 80s would feel young around her. She has a generosity of spirit,” the source explained.
The sources also insisted that Alfallah was ‘no gold digger.’
Alfallah herself has also spoken about her preference for older company.
Speaking to Vogue Arabia, she explained: “I have friends who are 70 years old; men and women who are just totally my friends who I love, who I’d rather be with than people my age.”
“I’ve always been like that. I don’t know why. I think I like the wisdom, the experience, the life in them. That’s attractive to me.”
Although Alfallah has been open about her preference for older men, her relationship with Pacino still sparked widespread debate, particularly when the pair announced their first child together.
The pregnancy divided opinion
Al Pacino’s age sparked debate online when the pregnancy was announced.
Some fans praised Pacino, showering him with congratulations and love.
One online commenter wrote: “Legend.”
Another defended the couple against the backlash: “This is a happy family. Let them live.”
Others seemed more concerned. Some pointed to the sizable age gap: “The age difference is over half a century.”
Others described Pacino as selfish for welcoming a child in his eighties, questioning how much time he would have with his youngest son.
One person commented: “It’s sad that the child won’t really have any time with his father.”
Another online user wrote: “It’s pure selfishness to have a child at 80 just for the sake of it.”
The news also sparked wider conversations about older fathers in Hollywood.
Robert De Niro faced similar criticism after welcoming his seventh child at 79 years old in 2023.
How does Al Pacino feel about fatherhood at 83?
In an interview with the BBC, Pacino described his return to fatherhood as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘wonderful.’
When questioned whether he had any reservations about his age, Pacino responded: “I want to be around for this child, of course I do, but things happen.
“And I hope I am. I hope I stay healthy and he knows who his dad is.”
One of the reasons Pacino has given for writing his 2024 memoir Sonny Boy is that his youngest son will have the opportunity to learn about his father’s life.
Born in 1940, Pacino will be 101 when his youngest son turns 18 in 2041.
Are Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah still together?
Around a year after the birth of his son Roman, Pacino clarified that he was not in a relationship and was instead co-parenting with Alfallah.
Pacino shared with the BBC that he does not live with Roman, but they communicate online.
“He does text me from time to time,” the actor explained.
“Everything he does is real. Everything he does is interesting to me. So, we talk. I play the harmonica with him on the other video thing, and we have made this kind of contact. So, it’s fun.”
Remaining notoriously private, Pacino continues to co-parent his youngest son.
Pacino and Alfallah have said they remain good friends and were spotted together in May 2026 at a Dior fashion show in LA.
He also appears on Alfallah’s Instagram feed, including a post from September 2026 captioned: “Roman’s Mom & Dad.”
Despite the criticism surrounding his decision to become a father again in his eighties, Pacino has made clear how much he hopes to be part of Roman’s life for as long as possible.
And with so many eyes on Hollywood celebrity couples, the wider debate over large age gaps and late parenthood shows no signs of slowing down.
