Al Pacino, the old-timer actor, has broken up with film producer Noor Alfallah, a 30-year-old, a year after the birth of their son, Roman. The 84-year-old legend is said to have ended his relationship with film producer Noor Alfallah just after their son's birth last year. The old-timer actor and Alfallah started dating in 2022, and then they welcomed their little baby boy, Roman, into this world in June last year.

For so long, rumors went on about whether they are a couple or not, but it appears Pacino has finally washed off all those speculations regarding where he and Alison stand in their relationship. When PEOPLE asked him if he is seeing someone, he replied: "No, I have friendship."

Actor and Scarface fame, who has never married but was romantically linked in the past with the likes of Diane Keaton and Beverly D'Angelo, has always avoided the altar. In fact, in his new memoir Sonny Boy, he very candidly discusses the subject-matter, referring to marriage as "an entrance to the pain train."

Pacino elucidates his feelings of: "Everything's a ticket to the pain train. A ticket or nothing. Are you going to go or not? No, I'll stay here. I'll stay here at the station, I'm not getting on." Although he concedes marriage may actually work for everybody else, he's always believed it wasn't for him.

"I loved living together with a woman, and then. It depends on who you are getting along with. If you live together with someone, there's got to be. You have to have this communion. If you don't, it's almost an invasion," he adds in explaining why he favors deep connection above the traditional institution of marriage. "So I like to know that if I find a human that I can connect with."

I have friends all over the place. I must say I'm very lucky with that," he shares. Such a comment from him emphasizes how profound his relationships outside of romance are to him.

For Pacino, he further elucidates on speaking on that note by relating with Alfallah, who is much younger in age. It's how Al Pacino was at a dinner party back in the late 2010s, where they first met and began dating as she said in Vogue Arabia. "I thought, wow, that's Al Pacino.". She went to film school, so wasn't oblivious of whom he was," she said, adding that she admired his talent and quirky persona. Still, she admits, "I had no intention of thinking like, oh, he is going to be my son's father one day."

Although they have split, spokespeople for Pacino say the two are in a strong place and that they're still pretty close. "Al and Noor are great friends, have been for a long time, and are co-parents to their son Roman," a representative said. So though their relationship ended as an intimate partnership, it didn't end as parents.

They reached closer to one another through the reign of COVID-19, a time when most people witnessed changes in their personal lives due to this lockdown and insecurity of the global health crisis. Still, the nature of the connection is somehow different now.

Indeed, his personal thoughts on love and marriage will indicate that though he may be at least in character as needing companionship, conventional channels of love may not necessarily fall in line with his personal belief. The openness regarding the complications of love relationships also illustrate his desire to maintain independence but still develop meaningful relationships.

Although Pacino has kept much of his personal life in the dark for years, some understanding of marriage and relationships provides a little peek at the inside world of this man. For a man who spent decades living underneath bright lights at Hollywood, the ability to forge long-standing friendships and set the standards for what made a relationship would paint the picture of a life being lived in meaningful ways with purpose and self-awareness.

It is sure to be a while before any more great attention is drawn upon Pacino and Alfallah's parenting, though; so far, both seem fine with where they are at.As changed as it has been in this relationship, they remain committed to raising their son, Roman, together.

**Al Pacino Child Support Settlement with Noor Alfallah

Yet another case is Los Angeles is the fact that Al Pacino, now 83 years of age, has been ordered to pay a considerable child support bill to the Los Angeles court. The actor is still co-parenting with Alfallah and has agreed to pay a significant amount to support their son Roman every month. Alfallah is 54 years younger than Pacino and, in June, gave birth to their son Roman, hence starting a new chapter in their life.

While the couple chose to keep their romance private earlier in the pandemic, the two went public with the relationship in April 2022. "People have been saying it's a surprise pregnancy," Alfallah said, countering that "this has been really special" for her and Pacino.

Three months after the birth of the child, Alfallah filed for physical custody. Though the motive behind this move remains somewhat of a closed book, the two are still together. However, the media remains quite keen on their personal lives.

Whatever the future holds for Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah, their special bond and shared responsibility for their son will tie them together. As Pacino navigates this journey of parenthood in his later years, one thing is clear enough: his relationships, romantic or platonic, continue to evolve in ways that he never thought he would encounter.
