Al Pacino Wasn't Ready to Walk Down the Aisle with Diane Keaton, Yet Is New Dad with 29-Year-Old — Inside His Dating History

• Al Pacino, who never married, has been linked to about a dozen of beautiful women in his life.
• He even dated Diane Keaton but was reportedly not ready to walk down the aisle with her.
• The legendary actor has found love again with his 29-year-old girlfriend and has embraced fatherhood for the fourth time at 83.

Alfredo James "Al" Pacino and his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, are the newest parents in town. Pacino is an American actor born on April 25, 1940, in Manhattan, New York. He made his mark as a resounding force in the vibrant 1970s, cementing his status as an enduring and iconic figure in the film industry.

Pacino, a highly acclaimed actor, has garnered worldwide recognition throughout his career, receiving multiple laurels, such as an Academy Award, two Tony Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards. He has also been honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award and the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, among many others.

Throughout his decorated Hollywood career, Pacino has portrayed many roles to the best of his abilities and is remembered for his stellar performances even today. He's best known for starring as Michael Corleone in "The Godfather, Parts I, II, and III," deemed one of the most popular crime-drama movies ever.

Pacino's portrayal of Corleone's journey, transitioning from a victorious war hero to a tragic figure who resorts to murdering his own family to protect them, is considered a rarity in the realm of movie performances.

In 1983, he starred as Tony Montana in "Scarface" alongside Michelle Pfeiffer—skillfully embodying the role of a Cuban drug dealer in Miami with a thick accent, navigating the fine line between extravagant flamboyance and dark intensity.

Then, in 1992, Pacino became a blind ex-military officer, Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, in "Scent of a Woman," starring alongside Chris O'Donnell. Although it might not be considered one of his finest performances, it remains captivating and engaging partly due to his over-dramatic streak.

In fact, he won his only Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for playing Lt. Slade and delivered a moving acceptance speech, thanking his friends, fans, and mentors for their unwavering love, support, and guidance.

While narrating the story of a young girl who met him at an event in South Bronx and told him he encouraged her, Pacino added:

"I just can't forget that girl, and I can't forget the kids out there who may be thinking tonight that if he can do it, I can do it. So this is really a proud and hopeful moment for me because I want to thank the Academy for giving us a gift of encouragement."

In late May 2023, 83-year-old Pacino stunned everyone when his spokesperson announced he was expecting a baby with his girlfriend. The actor's much-younger partner, who he's been linked to since 2022, has now made him a dad for the fourth time.

A Look at Al Pacino's Dating History

Pacino, one of the rare performers who achieved the "triple crown of acting" and became a household name with his memorable portrayal of Corleone, has a long list of lovers. While he's never walked down the aisle with any of his attractive partners, he has kids with more than one.

Jill Clayburgh

Jill Clayburgh was an American actress and the first woman known to steal Pacino's heart. She was a two-time Oscar nominee for 1978's "An Unmarried Woman" and 1979's "Starting Over." They reportedly crossed paths while working on Broadway in 1967 and enjoyed a bohemian life in New York.

The duo was incredibly close and said to be planning marriage and children, but they called things off in 1972 for unknown reasons. However, Clayburgh said they split partly because of Pacino's skyrocketing fame after "The Godfather."

Despite parting ways, the actress said she and her ex were still on friendly terms and saw each other off and on. She went on to marry David Rabe and was last seen on the silver screen in the 2010 movie, "Bridesmaids."

Sadly, Clayburgh died shortly afterward from complications due to her two-decade struggle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2010 at age 66.

Tuesday Weld

After calling things off with his longtime girlfriend, Clayburgh, the "Heat" actor briefly dated the gorgeous Tuesday Weld. The two also starred together in the 1982 film, "Author! Author!"

They were spotted on a Mexican beach celebrating Pacino's 77th birthday in 2017.

Known as the "bad girl of Hollywood," the pair dated for barely a few months before going their separate ways. Weld married three times, including once to actor Dudley Moore.

Veruschka Von Lehndorff

Amid Pacino's association with numerous beautiful ladies, he was romantically linked with German model and actress Veruschka Von Lehndorff, who amassed the attention of many Hollywood actors. However, he was unable to establish a long-term commitment.

After a brief affair with "The Devil's Advocate" alum, Lehndorff decided to move on and dated several other notable personalities in subsequent years.

Marthe Keller

Pacino had a complicated relationship with his co-star Marthe Keller in the film "Bobby Deerfield." They argued and had constant disagreements while filming. The movie's director, Sydney Pollack, said it was uncertain whether they would end up liking or disliking each other.

Keller shared that her feelings for Pacino were private, and discussing their relationship felt like unraveling her deepest emotions. Despite the ups and downs, they dated for two years.

Diane Keaton

Pacino and Diane Keaton crossed paths on the classic crime franchise "The Godfather" set in 1971, where they starred together as an on-screen pair. Their love sparks were instantaneous, as expressed by Keaton, who couldn't help but crush on her co-star. She recalled:

"I was mad for him. Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker. There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant. And oh, gorgeous!"

The "Something's Gotta Give" actress had an intense infatuation with Pacino because of his charming demeanor and attractive looks. They bonded over their shared experience in acting and admired each other's work ethics.

However, their positive and supportive on-again/off-again relationship in the late 80s concluded after the production of "The Godfather Part III," during which Keaton admitted to issuing an ultimatum for marriage, acknowledging that her approach might not have been ideal.

Consequently, the couple ended their relationship in 1990 after being unable to make things work in the long run. Despite their breakup, they stayed amiable, as shown when Pacino expressed his unswerving love and adoration for his former lady love during her acceptance of the AFI's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Today, the Oscar-winning actress, linked to famous Hollywood men, including Pacino, Woody Allen, and Warren Beatty, is happy, although she never walked down the aisle. Keaton didn't let the lack of a partner deter her from having a family and pursued adoption later in life.

At age 50, the "Father of the Bride" star adopted her daughter, Dexter, who's now in her late 20s. Five years later, she completed her family by welcoming a son, Duke, now in his early 20s. Keaton has witnessed her children accomplish their milestones, including Dexter's marriage and Duke getting his own house.

The "Book Club" star now spends time with her golden retriever, Reggie, who has become her constant companion and was gifted to her by a dear friend.

Jan Tarrant

Jan Tarrant, an acting teacher known for working with celebrities like Angelina Jolie, is Pacino's ex-girlfriend and the mother of their daughter, Julie Marie Pacino. The pair dated in the late 80s and welcomed their girl in 1989.

Although little information about their relationship is available, Julie shares a strong bond with her father. She has chosen to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, just like him.

Lyndall Hobbs

Following his split from Keaton, Al Pacino dated Lyndall Hobbs, an Australian hostess, director, and producer, in the 1990s. Their early days were filled with romantic excitement, but they eventually ended things because Hobbs wanted to have kids, leading her to adopt a son later.

Hobbs described Pacino as a complicated man, stating that he has never wed for a reason while shedding light on her own strong and challenging nature.

Penelope Ann Miller

While filming "Carlito's Way," the "Dog Day Afternoon" actor was said to be linked romantically with his co-star Penelope Ann Miller while he was still with Hobbs.

Miller showed no hesitation in acknowledging their affair, saying Pacino's passionate nature rekindled a newfound sense of sensuality, femininity, and enthusiasm within her. Nonetheless, they tried to keep their relationship a secret during the movie production to maintain a professional environment.

Beverly D'Angelo

Beverly D'Angelo, most popularly known for her role in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies, was romantically involved with Pacino for six years—from 1997 to 2003. They met in 1996 on a flight to New York City.

At the time, D'Angelo was married to Italian duke Lorenzo Salviati, but they divorced amicably so she could be with Pacino. On January 25, 2001, they welcomed twins—Anton James and Olivia Rose.

The "Hair" actress shared that after knowing one another for three months, Pacino desired for her to be the mother of their kids, which meant the world to her. However, their relationship ended in 2004, leading to a contentious custody battle over their twins.

Despite the challenges, D'Angelo speaks highly of Pacino and calls him a good friend, focusing on co-parenting their kids. In an interview in May 2020, the mother of two expressed that she, her kids, and Pacino constituted a wonderful family.

She disclosed being incredibly close with Pacino, describing how they went from loving each other and becoming parents to hating each other, being friends, and becoming best buddies.

Lucila Polak

After parting ways with D'Angelo, Pacino started a romantic relationship with Argentinian actress Lucila Polak, also known as Lucila Solá, notable for her roles in movies like "Pride and Prejudice" (2003) and "10 Rules for Sleeping Around" (2013).

The two met in 2008 and reportedly discussed marriage and having kids. They were spotted on a Mexican beach celebrating Pacino's 77th birthday in 2017. Unfortunately, their relationship ended due to conflicting work schedules and frequent arguments, leading to their breakup in 2018.

Polak is the mother of Camila Morrone, a model, and actress known for her romantic association with Leonardo DiCaprio. In an interview, Morrone shared that she considers Pacino her stepdad and seeks his guidance for acting, recalling how she reached out to him for advice after her first movie role.

Meital Dohan

Pacino was linked to Israeli actress Meital Dohan in 2018, and they were often seen together, including during furniture shopping. They dated for some time and were pictured attending important events, like "The Irishman" premiere.

But in February 2020, they broke up partly due to their considerable 36-year age gap. Dohan openly admitted that while initially trying to deny their age difference, she ultimately found Pacino's older age to hinder their relationship's success.

Despite their split, Dohan emphasized her love and admiration for the "Hangman" alum, considering their relationship an honor and hoping they could maintain a good friendship.

Noor Alfallah

Pacino has most recently been linked to a much-younger woman, Noor Alfallah. The "Serpico" alum and his girlfriend have recently made news after welcoming the actor's fourth child, Roman Pacino. The news of their new baby broke on June 15, 2023, after his rep spoke to E! News.

Alfallah is a Kuwaiti-American TV and movie producer who graduated from the University of Southern California's Cinematic School of Arts and the University of California Los Angeles, where she completed a master's degree in film and television production.

She sparked dating rumors with Pacino in April 2022 when they were spotted together at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Pictures showed the duo leaving in the same car after having dinner with friends, including Jason Momoa.

The "Aquaman" actor later posted photos from that evening, showing Pacino and Alfallah seated next to each other in a group picture. In September 2022, the pair were seen enjoying a meal at the Sunset Tower Hotel in L.A. Alfallah also shared a photo with Pacino while visiting an art gallery in N.Y.C. in April 2023.

According to sources, the 29-year-old producer has been known to date rich older men. Before her relationship with Pacino, she dated Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger when he was 74, and she was 22. After their breakup in March 2018, she said their ages didn't matter to her.

The same year, she was also linked to billionaire investor and philanthropist Nicholas Berggruen. In January 2019, Alfallah was romantically associated with Clint Eastwood after they were pictured together in Los Angeles. However, she quickly shut down the rumor mill, saying they were family friends.

Sources reported that Pacino initially had doubts about the paternity of his girlfriend's baby and decided to get a DNA test for confirmation. The "Cruising" actor, who reportedly had medical issues hindering fertility, was oblivious until April 2023 that his girlfriend was pregnant.

Following Pacino's insistence, Alfallah took the DNA test, which confirmed that he was indeed the father. The baby is Alfallah's first child and will have three step-siblings. Although the new parents have reportedly never spoken publicly about their romance, we wish them a happy and prosperous future with their new baby!
