Al Pacino’s representative has some news to share about the iconic actor’s relationship status.
Shortly after photos of comedian Bill Maher with Pacino’s 30-year-old girlfriend Noor Alfallah in tow were released on Sunday, October 6, The Godfather actor’s rep clarified the nature of his relationship with Alfallah, stating that they are “just friends” and “co-parents” to their one-year-old son, Roman.
“Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years, and are co-parents to their son Roman,” Pacino’s rep told People on Monday, October 7. When asked about his own relationship status, the 84-year-old actor simply replied, “No. I have friendship [sic].”

Paparazzi caught Maher, 68, driving a black sedan with Alfallah in the passenger seat, both of whom appeared dressed for a night out, spotted leaving the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday morning. Their appearance obviously raised some eyebrows, particularly since Alfallah has been linked to Pacino since 2022, welcoming their son in June 2023.
Earlier this month, Pacino attended Alfallah’s 30th birthday celebration, where he was spotted helping her blow out the candles on her cake. Despite sharing a child, Pacino, who has never been married, has expressed that he has never felt the need to tie the knot. He reflected on marriage to the outlet, saying that the union “can suit you, by all means. I just didn’t feel it ever suited me for some reason.”
Pacino is also the father of three adult children from previous relationships: 34-year-old Julie, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jan Tarrant, and twins Olivia and Anton, who are both 23, from his former partnership with Beverly D’Angelo.
Representatives for Pacino were not immediately available for further comment on the matter.
