Al Pacino, 83, gushes about girlfriend Noor Alfallah’s ‘special’ pregnancy
It’s all Gucci! Al Pacino addressed girlfriend Norwegian Alfallas pregnancy – and expressed his excitement over the pair welcoming their first child together.
“It’s very special. It always has been. I have a lot of kids, but this is really special at this time,” Pacino, 83, told the Daily mail in a video posted on Tuesday, June 6, adding that he didn’t quite know the sex of his little one just yet.
The Godfather star’s rep confirmed that Us weekly last week that Alfallah, 29, is eight months pregnant with the couple’s baby – Pacino’s fourth overall.

While the actor typically keeps his personal life out of the spotlight, he previously opened up about the joys of fatherhood — and the importance of staying healthy while growing his brood — in an interview with The mirror after welcoming his twins.
“Fourteen hours of filming a day is nothing compared to this,” the New York native joked to the outlet in 2002 about being a father to two newborns. “Family is now an important part of my life. There is a sense of being at home and a sense of belonging that I’ve never had before. But you gotta be in shape, man! I go out to dinner and I talk to a very interesting person and I fall asleep!”
Pacino isn’t the only cast member of The godfather franchise expanding their family. Robert de Nirofor his part, recently shared his own baby news and revealed last month that he and girlfriend Tiffany Chen welcomed daughter Gia in April.
“It feels great,” says de Meet the parents actor, 79, said on Thursday June 1 episode of the Today when asked what fatherhood feels like “at this age and stage” of life. “I have a certain awareness — when you’re older, you’re aware of certain things in life, dynamics, everything, family dynamics. You can’t avoid learning certain things and how to deal with that and deal with it and this and that, the usual.”
De Niro went on to say that it’s “great” that he and his former costar are both welcoming new kids around the same time. “I’m very happy with it,” he added before showing off a Today show onesie from host Hoda Kotb.

He shares son Raphael, 46, with ex-wife Dianne Abbott and adopted Abbott’s daughter Drena, 51, from a previous relationship. In 1995, New York native and then-girlfriend Touki Smith welcomed twins Julian and Aaron, now 27. De Niro also shares son Elliot, 25, and daughter Helen, 11, with ex-wife Grace Hightowerfrom whom he split in 2018.
