Alfallah and Pacino were first linked in April 2022 and were said to have started dating during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A photo of the couple from dinner with Jason Momoa quickly went viral due to their 54-year age difference, as Alfallah was 28 and Pacino was 81 at the time.
In June 2023, the couple welcomed their first child together and Pacino’s fourth.
He is also the father of three adult children: Julie, 35, with acting coach Jan Tarrant; and twins Anton and Olivia, 23, with The Coal Miner’s Daughter actress Beverly D’Angelo.
Alfallah revealed to Vogue Arabia that the two met at a dinner in the late 2010s and became friends.
‘He is a very talented and unique person. But I had no intention of thinking that one day he will be the father of my child,” she admitted.
‘Al lives near my house and we started spending every day together, playing chess and watching movies. It was like film school with Al Pacino. “I guess it turned into something more,” he said.
Earlier this month, the acclaimed actor revealed that he and Alfallah had gone their separate ways.
However, Noor now says the couple is strictly platonic and is opening up about co-parenting with her ‘best friend’ Pacino. She told TMZ: “Bill is my friend, just my friend, although Bill is great.”
While promoting his upcoming memoir, Sonny Boy, he clarified his relationship status.
When asked if she was in a relationship, the never-married star said People: ‘No. I have friendship.’
A representative for the actor also told the outlet: “Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years and are parents to their son Roman.”
In his story, Pacino revealed which of his famous girlfriends was “the closest I’ve ever come to getting married” and said it was Apollo 13 actress Kathleen Quinlan, whom he dated in the 1980s.
The Scarface actor became one of the oldest known new parents in the world when his girlfriend gave birth to Roman in June 2023.
He confessed in the book: ‘I have always avoided marriage. I guess I didn’t see how it would help anything. I just wanted to avoid what I thought at the time was inevitable: an entry into the pain train.’
Throughout his career, he has dated a number of famous names, from Penelope Ann Miller to Lyndall Hobbs and Lucila Solá.
He also had an on-again, off-again romance with Diane Keaton, his love interest in The Godfather trilogy, who tried to persuade him to marry her but never succeeded.
