Al Pacino welcomed his fourth child with his girlfriend Noor Alfallah earlier this year, and now the pair have parted ways.
It was announced just a few weeks after her pregnancy was confirmed in June, that the 83-year-old Godfather star was expecting a child with Alfallah, who is 29 years old.
Pacino’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, confirmed the news to the Associated Press news agency.
The name of the new little one has also been confirmed as Roman, per Sky News.
Pacino has 3 other children – 33-year-old Julie Marie, and 22-year-old twins Anton and Olivia.
It comes after the news that the star reportedly harboured doubts about his ability to father a child and initially questioned the paternity of his girlfriend’s baby, leading him to request a DNA test for confirmation.
Sources close to the situation, with direct knowledge of the matter, spoke to TMZ.
At the age of 83, Pacino had encountered medical issues that would typically hinder a man from impregnating a woman.
Unaware of his girlfriend’s pregnancy until two months ago, the news came as a shock to the renowned actor.
Given his uncertainty, Pacino initially doubted that he could be the father of the child and subsequently insisted on a DNA test to ascertain the truth.
Noor Alfallah, his 29-year-old girlfriend, complied with his request, and the test results ultimately confirmed Pacino’s paternity.
Despite Pacino’s initial skepticism, the DNA test provided the necessary evidence, dispelling any doubts regarding his biological connection to the child.
Sadly, it has since been reported that the pair have split, just months after welcoming their child into the world.
Alfallah reportedly told the court she was prepared to offer the seasoned actor shared legal custody of their child, which would allow him a vote in decisions about the serious matters in his life.
Six days after giving birth to their kid, Alfallah and Pacino both signed a form dubbed a “voluntary declaration of parentage,” which she included in her court file.
According to the publication, Alfallah is asking for Pacino to pay for her legal expenses as well as any other charges associated with the case.
According to the publication, there was no mention of a precise sum of child support in the court file.
The court may “make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party,” according to legal documents.
