While Pacino, 83, hasn’t welcomed a new baby just yet, his Godfather Part II costar was correct about his pal having some big news to share. Earlier this week, the Scent of a Woman star’s rep confirmed that Pacino and girlfriend Noor Alfallah are expecting their first child together. TMZ reported on Tuesday, May 30, that Alfallah, 29, is eight months pregnant.
The Godfather actor first became a father in 1989 when he welcomed daughter Julie Marie, 33, with ex Jan Tarrant. He also shares twins Anton and Olivia, 22, with ex Beverly D’Angelo, whom he dated off and on from 1997 to 2003.
De Niro, for his part, recently shared his own baby news, revealing last month that he and girlfriend Tiffany Chen welcomed daughter Gia in April.
“It feels great,” the Meet the Parents actor said on Thursday when Hoda Kotb asked him how fatherhood feels “at this age and stage” of life. “I have certain awareness — when you’re older you have awareness of certain things in life, dynamics, everything, family dynamics. You can’t avoid learning certain things and how you can deal with those and manage them and this and that, the usual.”
De Niro went on to say that it’s “amazing” he and Pacino are both welcoming new babies around the same time. “I’m very happy about it,” he added before showing off a Today show onesie from Kotb, 58.
