Joy Behar Likens Al Pacino Dating a Younger Woman to Aging Women Getting Botox
Joy Behar shared her take on Al Pacino's romance with a much younger woman shortly after news broke that he is about to become a father for the fourth time at 83.
On Tuesday news broke that Al Pacino and his much younger girlfriend, Noora Alfallah, are reportedly about a month away from welcoming their first child.
The next day, Joy Behar and her co-hosts on "The View," jumped into the conversation and offered their thoughts on Pacino and Robert De Niro having kids late in life.

"To make women feel younger, we get Botox. Men get a girl; that's what they like to do," Behar said and explained that men like to date younger women to make themselves feel more youthful.
Sarah Haines jumped in and noted that women, in this case, are "marrying the legacy, not the presence" of these older men.
Co-host Sunny Hostin remarked that although Pacino and De Niro's wealth ensures the future of the children, she raised the concern about the grief their little kids could suffer when they would pass.
Pacino and Alfallah sparked dating rumors in April 2022 when they went to a group dinner together to celebrate a new art exhibition.
According to sources, the 29-year-old's pregnancy was unplanned and came as a surprise, as their relationship had been relatively new.
Dubbed an "old soul" by those close to her, the daughter of a wealthy Kwaiti-American family had a history of dating older men, including Mick Jagger–when he was 74 and she was 22– and billionaire Nicholas Berggruen.
"She is a good girl with an old soul, but she has a spirit that is very youthful. She is fun. A guy in his 70s or 80s would feel young around her. She has a generosity of spirit," said a source who insisted she is not in it for the money.
"The Godfather" star shares three children– Julie, Anton, and Olivia Pacino– with two different women.
Meanwhile, De Niro welcomed his seventh child earlier in May with no mention of the identity of his new baby's mother.
