Al Pacino, 83, has voiced his delight at becoming a late-in-life father, breaking his silence about his 29-year-old girlfriend’s pregnancy for the first time to gush about how ‘special’ his fourth child is.
The iconic movie star shared his true thoughts about the impending arrival of his fourth child – his first with girlfriend Noor Alfallah – while out for a stroll in Los Angeles on Monday, when he shut down any rumors about drama and upset surrounding the pregnancy announcement.
In fact, Al, who has three other children by two women, was quick to make clear just how significant this pregnancy is for him – because it has come so late in his life.
‘It’s very special,’ he said when asked by a photographer if he is ‘excited’ to be welcoming another baby. ‘It always has been. I’ve got many kids. But this is really special coming at this time.’
In the exclusive video obtained by DailyMail.com, the star added that he does not yet know the baby’s gender is.

Since the news about Al and Noor’s upcoming arrival was revealed, numerous rumors have swirled suggesting that the Scarface star demanded a DNA test – and that he had been ‘hoodwinked’ by his partner.
However, someone close to Al called these rumors ‘complete and utter bulls**t’ exclusively to DailyMail.com, insisting that the 83-year-old ‘could not be happier’ over the news – something he has now confirmed himself.
The father-of-three, who was accompanied by an unidentified male friend, donned a navy blue sports jacket over a similar colored top and dress pants for Monday’s outing.
He paired the look with dark Aviator sunglasses, a neck scarf, and sneakers.
Al already shares 22-year-old twins Olivia Pacino and Anton James Pacino with his ex, Beverly D’Angelo, as well as 33-year-old daughter Julie Pacino with Jan Tarrant.
He and Noor – who is allegedly eight months along – have been romantically linked since April 2022, and were last seen together in May, while grabbing dinner at the upscale Los Angeles eatery E Baldi.
Following the announcement, TMZ reported that Al did not believe the child was his at first since he had medical issues that would ‘commonly prevent a man from impregnating a woman.’

Al’s rep confirmed the baby news to TMZ on May 30. He and Noor (pictured together in April 2023) – who is allegedly eight months along – have been romantically linked since April 2022
They said she ultimately agreed to get the DNA test, and it confirmed he is indeed the father.
Sources also told Showbiz11 that Al thought their relationship was over a ‘long time ago,’ while describing the situation as a ‘mess.’
However, someone close to the couple slammed suggestions that the pregnancy news was anything but blissful to DailyMail.com days later, stating that while Al was ‘surprised’ over the news, he ‘could not be happier’ about the impending arrival.
They also claimed that he and Noor are still very much ‘in love,’ despite their 54-year age gap, and that he had not been kept in the dark about the baby news.
‘She’s wanted to have a baby for years and Al could not be happier. He loves Noor and the feeling is mutual,’ said the insider.
They said the baby was conceived naturally and that Al is ‘still very able.’
They also addressed accusations that Kuwaiti-American film producer Noor – who was previously linked to Rolling Stone front-man Mick Jagger and billionaire philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen – is a ‘gold digger,’ calling the claims ‘complete and utter bulls**t.’
‘Not only does Noor come from an extremely wealthy family, but she has also worked to obtain her own wealth,’ they continued.
