Al Pacino has cleared up speculation about his relationship with producer Noor Alfallah, following the recent birth of their son, Roman, in June 2023. Despite rumors suggesting a romantic involvement, the 84-year-old acting legend revealed in an interview with People on October 3 that their relationship is strictly platonic. When asked about his connection with Alfallah, 30, Pacino firmly stated, “No. I have friendship.”
A representative for Pacino further elaborated on the nature of their bond, clarifying, “Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years, and are co-parents to their son Roman.” This statement affirms that while the pair share a close friendship and are committed to raising their child together, there is no romantic relationship between them.
Pacino’s personal life has long fascinated the public, given his storied relationships with high-profile actresses such as Diane Keaton, Beverly D’Angelo, and Kathleen Quinlan. However, the Academy Award winner has consistently steered clear of marriage, a decision he delves into in his newly released memoir, Sonny Boy. Reflecting on his views, Pacino refers to marriage as “an entrance to the pain train.”
In the memoir, Pacino shares his aversion to long-term commitments like marriage, writing, “Everything’s a ticket to the pain train. A ticket or nothing. Are you going to go or not? No, I’ll stay here. I’ll stay here at the station, I’m not getting on.” His words underscore a deep reluctance to embrace the institution of marriage, despite his numerous past relationships.
Elaborating on his perspective, Pacino admitted that while marriage may work for others, it never resonated with him personally. “Marriage can suit you, by all means. I just didn’t feel it ever suited me for some reason,” he reflected.
Pacino’s candidness about his relationship status with Alfallah and his resistance to marriage offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a Hollywood icon. As he focuses on co-parenting his son Roman, it’s clear that Pacino’s priority remains his family, though his aversion to romantic commitment remains unchanged.
