Al Pacino and his partner are celebrating the birth of a baby boy. The acting great, 83, and his partner Noor Alfallah, 29, announced last month that they were expecting a child together, with the news shocking the actor's fans.
The child is 83-year-old Al's fourth and 29-year-old Noor's first. It is reportedly a boy named Roman. The couple were spotted celebrating as they hit the town together as a couple as they went for dinner in Los Angeles.
Noor's distinctive bump was gone as they headed for the Sunset Tower hotel. Noor was seen driving her man to the reservation with there appearing to be a child seat in the back of the vehicle.
The pair appeared in good spirits at the shindig. The couple have been an item since April 2022, with many sources claiming the two have been seeing each other since the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Scarface star is already a father to three children with two women, the Mirror reports. He shares 22-year-old twins Olivia Pacino and Anton James Pacino with National Lampoon star Beverly D'Angelo, having had Julie Pacino, 33, with Jan Tarrant.
Following the arrival, the Hollywood icon is sure to have a familiar face to turn to for advice on dealing with a newborn at an advanced age after longtime colleague and pal Robert De Niro, 79, welcomed his seventh child with girlfriend Tiffany Chen in April.
The Hollywood icons have starred together in blockbusters such as 2019's The Irishman, 1995's Heat and 1974's The Godfather Part II. Al was said to be shocked when he discovered Noor was expecting a baby.
The Oscar winner apparently was not prepared for the news and did not even realise he could still become a father at his age. However, he quickly moved to shut down rumours he was unhappy with the news after the impending arrival became public knowledge. Instead, he labelled it a "special" occasion.
In a video obtained by Mail Online last month, Al explained the significance of the news. "It's very special," he gushed when asked whether he was excited to be welcoming another baby into the world.
"It always has been. I've got many kids. But this is really special coming at this time," he continued.
In 2014, Pacino spoke about what it’s like being a father and said that having kids has helped with the “missing link” he’s felt since his father left him and his mother when he was a toddler.
“I consciously knew that I didn’t want to be like my dad,” the actor said.
“I wanted to be there. I have three children. I’m responsible to them. 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 20 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.”

His new girlfriend and now mum to baby number four, Kuwaiti-American film producer Noor, is no stranger to dating much older men. Following the end of her romance with Sir Mick Jagger, she revealed her thoughts on their age difference - admitting that plenty of "people made comments," but insisted that it "didn't matter to her."
“Our ages didn't matter to me,” she said. “The heart doesn't know what it sees, it only knows what it feels. It was my first serious relationship, but it was a happy time for me.”
Alfallah then dated billionaire philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen, now 61, in 2018. After they parted ways, she was linked to director and actor Clint Eastwood, 91, a year later however, she insisted the pair were just family friends.
