Al Pacino breaks silence about pregnancy with girlfriend

Al Pacino celebrated the upcoming birth of his fourth child at the age of 83!

Days after the news spread like wildfire, the renowned actor has finally revealed his feelings about his 29-year-old girlfriend’s “special” pregnancy. The “Godfather” star shares daughter Julie, 33, with acting coach Jan Tarrant, and twins Olivia and Anton, 22, with actress Beverly D’Angelo.

Al Pacino couldn’t hide his joy at being a father again

Although it’s been a week since news broke that his girlfriend Noor Alfallah was pregnant with their first child, Pacino took the time to confirm and talk about it. The AFI Life, Achievement Award winner finally did when an unidentified photographer asked if he was “excited” about becoming a father for the fourth time. In response, the “Scarface” actor established:

“Very special. It always has been. I have many children. But now it’s really special.”

In the clip, only Daily Mail, the actor further claimed that he was not yet settled on the gender of the baby. Pacino’s ecstatic reaction to the baby news seemingly shuts down rumors surrounding the circumstances of the pregnancy.

Several blogs, such as TMZ, claimed that the legendary screen god was initially displeased when he heard that Alfallah was expecting him. According to the outlet, the “Dog Day Afternoon” star did not believe he was responsible for the pregnancy due to underlying medical issues that would typically prevent a man from successfully impregnating a woman.

Insiders also shared that Pacino only found out about the pregnancy two months ago, which is expected to have “shocked” him at the time. In view of all this, the actor demanded a DNA test to determine if he is the baby’s father.

Fortunately, Alfallah agreed, and the test proved that the “House of Gucci” star is the owner of the eight-month pregnancy. While the pair were first linked in April 2022 after being spotted out to dinner, multiple sources have claimed that they have been seeing each other quietly since the pandemic.

‘Donnie Brasco’ star overtakes boyfriend as oldest actor to welcome child

Amid news of The Indian Wants the Bronx star’s upcoming baby, The Blast noted that the octogenarian will take over from his beloved friend Robert De Niro as the oldest Hollywood star to adopt a child in his old age. As it turned out, De Niro welcomed his seventh child, a baby girl, with his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, on April 6 at the age of 79.

The “Casino” superstar and his first wife, Diahnne Abbott, are the parents of a daughter, Drena, and a son, Raphael. In 1995, the actor welcomed twin boys – Julian and Aaron – with ex-girlfriend and model Toukie Smith.

He has a son, Elliot, and a daughter, Helen Grace, with his second wife, Grace Hightower. With such a large brood, many wonder how he remained in control of his home front and busy career.

They got an answer when he opened up about his experiences as a father last month while promoting his recent comedy ‘About My Father’. After explaining that he has to strike a balance between his love talk as an openly loving father to the children and the “tough stuff”, he continued:

“You can’t get around this with children. I don’t like having to lay down the law and stuff like that. But (sometimes) you have no choice. And I think any parent would say the same. You always want kids to do the right thing and give them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes you don’t.”

De Niro added that he doesn’t consider himself a “cool dad,” even if that’s a label he would have liked. In his words:

“You know, my kids sometimes disagree with me and they’re respectful.” My daughter, who is 11 years old, sometimes makes me sad and I argue with her. I love him, but you know. And now the youngest, this is yet to come. But that’s it.”

Also, a grandfather, the “Meet the Fockers” host has since suggested that the best thing a parent – or grandparent – can do is encourage and support their offspring to achieve their dreams.
