Al Pacino’s ex Noor Alfallah, 30, breaks her silence over ‘romance’ with Bill Maher, 68
Al Pacino’s ex Noor Alfallah, 30, has broken her silence about her rumored relationship with Bill Maher, 68.
Noor – who shares son Roman with Pacino, 84 – sparked romance speculation with comedian Maher, 68, when the pair left LA’s Chateau Marmont earlier this month.
However, Noor now says the couple is strictly platonic as they open up about co-parenting with ‘best friend’ Pacino.
She told me TMZ: ‘Bill is my friend, just my friend, but Bill is great.’
She said she and Pacino weren’t together, but co-parenting Roman was going “great.”

Alfallah and Pacino were first linked in April 2022, and were said to have started dating during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A photo of the couple from dinner with Jason Momoa quickly went viral due to their 54-year age difference, as Alfallah was 28 and Pacino was 81 at the time.
In June 2023, the couple welcomed their first child together and Pacino’s fourth.
He is also the father of three adult children: Julie, 35, with acting teacher Jan Tarrant; and 23-year-old twins Anton and Olivia with The Coal Miner’s Daughter actress Beverly D’Angelo.
Alfallah revealed to Vogue Arabia that they met at a dinner party in the late 2010s and became friends.
‘He is a very talented and unique person. But I wasn’t going to think, oh, he’s going to be my son’s father one day,” she admitted.
“Al lives down the street from my house and we spent every day together playing chess and watching movies. It was like film school with Al Pacino. I think it just turned into something more,” she said.
Earlier this month, the acclaimed actor revealed that he and Alfallah had gone their separate ways.

While promoting his upcoming memoir Sonny Boy, he clarified his relationship status.
When asked if he was in a relationship, the never-married star said People: ‘No. I have friendship.’
A rep for the actor also told the outlet, “Al and Noor are very good friends for years and are co-parents to their son Roman.”
In his story, Pacino revealed which of his famous girlfriends was “the closest I’ve ever been to marriage,” saying it was with Apollo 13 actress Kathleen Quinlan, whom he dated in the 1980s.
The Scarface actor became one of the oldest known new dads in the world when his girlfriend gave birth to Roman in June 2023
He confessed in the book: ‘I have always shunned marriage. I guess I didn’t see how it would help anything. I just wanted to avoid what I thought at the time was inevitable: an entry onto the pain train.”
Over the course of his career, he has dated a string of household names, including Penelope Ann Miller, Lyndall Hobbs and Lucila Solá.
He also had a one-off romance with Diane Keaton, his love interest in The Godfather trilogy, who tried to persuade him to marry her but never succeeded.
