According to the outlet, Pacino is also a father to three adult children. While speaking with PEOPLE, the actor spoke on the joy parenting brings him.
“It’s just so wonderful to have children. For me, I loved it. It changed me for, if you want to say, the better. It changed me for life,” he explained. “And the idea that you’re throwing your focus on other humans who happen to be your children there’s the love.”
Ultimately, Pacino reiterated that he loves parenthood.
“I’m very happy that I see my children. It’s great,” he said.
As The Shade Room previously reported, Pacino’s representative confirmed he was welcoming a child in May 2023. At the time, the representative’s confirmation seemingly alluded that Pacino was expecting a baby with his then 29-year-old girlfriend, Noor Alfallah. The pair had reportedly been spotted together beginning in April 2022.
Per PEOPLE, Pacino and Alfallah welcomed Roman into the world in June 2023.
In September of that year, Alfallah reportedly filed for full physical custody of the newborn. At the time, Alfallah reportedly noted that she wanted to share legal custody with Pacino, per Entertainment Tonight.
The following month, Pacino and Alfallah reportedly came to an agreement on child support and custody of Roman, per The Shade Room. Per TMZ, Pacino was reportedly ordered to pay Alfallah $30,000 a month in child support.
