Al Pacino Is Officially a Father Again at 83
Al Pacino is officially a father to a newborn at 83 years old.
TMZ reports that the Scarface star's 29-year-old girlfriend Noor Alfallah gave birth. The couple was photographed out at Sunset Tower in Los Angeles, Calif. shortly after the arrival of their little one.
On June 15, E! News confirmed the baby's arrival and revealed that Pacino and Alfallah welcomed a baby boy, named Roman Pacino.
The news that Pacino was expecting his fourth child as an octogenarian was confirmed by his representative on May 30, when Alfallah was already 8 months along. The actor and his girlfriend, who is a film producer, were first spotted together in 2022, and are said to have started dating in 2020. Before beginning her relationship with Pacino, Alfallah dated Mick Jagger from 2017 until 2018, when she was 22 years old.
Pacino shares daughter Julie, 33, with ex Jan Tarrant, and has twins Anton and Olivia, 22, with former partner Beverly D'Angelo. While speaking to The Daily Mail earlier in June, the actor shared his excitement at becoming at dad, saying, "I've got many kids, so this is really special, coming at this time."
In a New Yorker profile from 2014, Pacino noted how important fatherhood is to him, as someone who grew up with an absentee father.
"I consciously knew that I didn't want to be like my dad. I wanted to be there. I have three children. I'm responsible to them," he said at the time. "I'm a part of their life. When I'm not, it’s upsetting to me and to them. So that's part of the gestalt."
He added, "And I get a lot from it. It takes you out of yourself. When I do a movie, and I come back, I'm stunned for the first twenty minutes. These people are asking me to do things for them? Huh? I’m not being waited on? Wait a minute. Uh-oh, it’s about them! That action satisfies. I like it."
Pacino isn't the only star of the Godfather franchise to welcome a new addition later in life. The Godfather Part II co-star Robert De Niro, 79, recently welcomed daughter Gia Virginia Chen De Niro with girlfriend Tiffany Chen.
