Al Pacino’s ex-girlfriend has opened up on their relationship after her rumoured split from the acting star.
Speaking to Vogue in a candid interview, Noor Alfallah discussed her relationship with Pacino, their son, and complications during her pregnancy.

However, when asked in a recent interview with People whether he was in a relationship, Pacino responded: “No, I have friendship.”
Rumors have consequently been circulating in recent days over the status of Noor’s relationship with Pacino.
Noor was recently spotted leaving an upmarket LA restaurant with 68-year-old comedian Bill Maher, but she was also seen this week in a car with the Scarface star.
Noor, 30, has described the son she shares with Pacino as the ‘greatest gift from God’ and said that motherhood was ‘a thousand times better’ than she thought it would be.
However, she has been left with some regrets over her experience.
Before the birth of her son, Noor, was diagnosed with HELLP Syndrome; a rare pregnancy complication that can trigger seizures and damage the brain if too severe.

Speaking to Vogue, she said: “When I look back on it now, I wish I could have enjoyed my pregnancy more.”
Due to her diagnosis, Noor was unable to be alone with Roman during the first days of his life, as doctors were concerned about her having seizures while taking care of her son.
In September, Alfallah filed for custody of Roman, though they later waived their rights to contest their parental relationships at trial. PEOPLE reported that the pair had reached an agreement, with Pacino agreeing to pay the legal fees.
In his memoir, Sonny Boy, Pacino shared his thoughts on relationships and marriage, saying: “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’.”
Pacino and Noor met at a dinner party, then struck up a friendship during the pandemic before their relationship developed.
A representative of Pacino said the former couple are ‘very good friends’ and are ‘co-parents’ to their son Roman, the Mirror reports.
In her interview with Vogue, Noor added: “I thought it was cool. I thought, wow, that’s Al Pacino. I went to film school, so I wasn’t dumb about who he was.
“He’s a very talented and unique person. But I had no intention of thinking like, oh, he is going to be my son’s father one day.”
