Al Pacino has split from girlfriend Noor Alfrallah after they welcomed a son together last year.
The 84-year-old actor and the 30-year-old film producer were first linked romantically back in 2022, before the birth of Roman in June 2023.
However, there’s been doubts about the pair’s relationship, and the Hollywood star recently made it pretty clear where they stand.
Asked if he was in a relationship at the moment, Pacino told PEOPLE: “No, I have friendship.”

To be honest, fair enough. The Scarface actor has never been married, but over the years, has had romances with the likes of Diane Keaton and Beverly D’Angelo.
A spokesperson for Pacino also added: “Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years, and are co-parents to their son Roman."
The actor discusses many of his relationships and ideas on marriage in his new memoir, Sonny Boy.
And it’s fair to say he’s not into the idea of wedding someone as he calls marriage ‘an entrance to the pain train’.
Pacino says: “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.”
The star acknowledges marriage can ‘suit you, by all means’, but he never felt it suited him.
And he still feels like that, as he adds: “I loved living together [with a woman], and then... It depends on who you are getting along with. If you live together with someone, there's got to be... You have to have this communion.
“If you don't, it's almost an invasion. So I like to know that if I find a human that I can connect with.”
While Pacino might not have a relationship, he has many friendships as he says: “I have friends all over the place. I must say I’m very lucky with that.”
Alfallah previously opened up about the origins of her romance with the actor during an interview with Vogue Arabia, explaining they met at a dinner party in the late 2010s.
She recalled: “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."
