Al Pacino was in disbelief when his girlfriend informed him that she was pregnant with his child, according to reports.
The 83-year-old Scarface star is said to have demanded that his partner, 29-year-old Noor Alfallah, take a DNA test to confirm that he is indeed the father.
TMZ say that having a child at his age wasn’t part of Pacino’s plan, going on to disclose that sources have claimed the actor was “shocked” upon hearing the news, as he didn’t believe he could impregnate anyone due to “medical issues”.
Alfallah is said to have agreed to take said DNA test, which confirmed Pacino was indeed the father.
The news broke earlier this week that Pacino will become a dad for the fourth time. The actor’s reps confirmed to TMZ that the acting icon’s girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, is eight months pregnant; the pair have been romantically linked since April 2022.
As per Fox News, Alfallah – who has previously dated Mick Jagger, as well as billionaire Nicholas Berggruen – shared a photo with Pacino to her Instagram in April, marking the first time an image of the two of them had made its way to either of their social media accounts.
Pacino has previously welcomed twins Anton and Olivia with actress Beverly D’Angelo, who he was in a relationship with between 1997 to 2003. The actor then dated Argentine actress Lucia Polka from 2008 through to 2018.
Since the announcement of his latest child, speculation has been rife as to the circumstances and details. Certain rumors have even insisted that Pacino was kept in the dark about Noor’s pregnancy, though an inside source reportedly told the Daily Mail that this isn’t true.
The same source described the Carlito’s Way actor as “overjoyed to learn that he is expecting a fourth baby”, though it was “not expected”.
Coincidentally, it was confirmed last month that Robert De Niro – who has co-starred alongside Pacino in many famous flicks – had become a father again aged 79.
The Taxi star was asked by a reporter with ET Canada what it was like to father six children.
De Niro, on hand to promote his new film, the aptly name About My Father, replied with a straight face: “Seven actually. I just had a baby.”
