The Hollywood ‘grandpa chaser’ who’s the mother of Al Pacino’s baby

Despite a 52-year age gap, Noor Alfallah dated Pacino for four years – but has seemingly moved on to another high-profile older man

“I like the wisdom.” That’s what Al Pacino’s ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah has said attracts her to older men. The 30-year-old film producer split with the 84-year-old actor earlier this month. But she has already moved on with another high-profile man of – ahem – advancing age. This week, the “grandpa-chaser” was spotted at the LA hotspot Chateau Marmont with Bill Maher, 68, the American comedian and TV presenter. 
You might say Alfallah is like a reverse Leonardo DiCaprio. While Leo is known for dating models who are under 25, Alfallah seems to date men old enough to be her grandfather.
In 2017, she was spotted enjoying dates with Mick Jagger, 81. At the time, she was 22 and he was 74. “Our ages didn’t matter to me,” she said of her relationship with the ageing Rolling Stones frontman. “The heart doesn’t know what it sees, it only knows what it feels. It was my first serious relationship but it was a happy time for me.” 
A year later, she found love with billionaire philanthropist Nicolas Berggruen, 63. In 2019, she was linked to Clint Eastwood, 94, after they were pictured leaving a night out together at celeb hotspot Craig’s in West Hollywood. But Alfallah insisted they were just “family friends”.
She first met Pacino at a dinner party in 2010 and they became close friends during the Covid-19 pandemic. “Al lives down the street from my house and we started spending every day together, playing chess and watching movies,” she told Vogue Arabia in March. “It was like film school with Al Pacino. ‘Did you ever see Scarface?’ he asked me. ‘No,’ I answered, ‘though I know the lines, ‘Say hello to my little friend’. He showed me some obscure movies he was in, like one with Marthe Keller called Bobby Deerfield, which is now my favourite of all his films… I guess it just became something more.”
Despite the 54-year age gap, Pacino and Alfallah dated for four years. “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,” she said. They made headlines around the world when she gave birth to Roman Pacino in June 2023, making the Scarface star one of oldest fathers on record (he was 83 at the time).
“I was born in the wrong generation,” Alfallah said, referring to her dating history. “I’ve been an old soul all my life. I have friends who are 70 years old; men and women who are just totally my friends who I love, who I’d rather be with than people my age. I’ve always been like that. I don’t know why. I think I like the wisdom, the experience, the life in them. That’s attractive to me.” 
In fact, the youngest man Alfallah has dated publicly was 52, when she was linked to the actor and film director Eli Roth in 2018.
So who is the Kuwaiti-American brunette that is fast becoming the face of May-December romances? She was born in Santa Monica, California, and grew up in the exclusive LA neighbourhood of Beverly Hills, the eldest of four siblings.
She moved to Kuwait at the age of 11 and four years later, the family moved to Dubai and then back to the US. “Returning to the States from Dubai as a teenager, friends’ groups were already established,” Alfallah said. “I think that’s how a lot of my friends ended up becoming older than me.”
Her Kuwaiti father, Falah, appears to be the president of an oil company and her mother Alana is American. Her younger sister Remi made headlines back in 2013 after she was linked to Michael Jackson’s son Prince. The New York Post reported that Alfallah’s family had a fortune “estimated to be in the high nine-figures”.
Alfallah studied at the University of Southern California’s Cinematic School of the Arts before earning a masters from UCLA in film and TV producing. She is currently working as the vice president of Lynda Obst Productions at Sony, working most recently on the Donald Trump biopic, The Apprentice, starring Succession’s Jeremy Strong.
She regularly posts pictures of her glamorous lifestyle to her 81.5k followers on Instagram and is often holidaying on yachts in locations such as Capri, Saint-Tropez and Cap d’Antibes. She also poses with A-list friends including Sienna Miller, Timothee Chalamet and Ronnie Wood.
But she says her greatest achievement is becoming a mother. “Becoming a mom – to be honest – it’s greater than I ever could imagine,” she adds. “Roman has just been the greatest gift from God, a thousand times better than what I ever thought he would be. Every day I look at him, I just know I’m so blessed.”
Pacino has never been married but has three children from previous relationships. He was asked in October if he was currently in a relationship and said: “No. I have friendship.”
Despite Pacino and Alfallah confirming their split, she says Pacino remains her “best friend” and they share custody of Roman. Court documents revealed that Pacino was ordered to pay $30,000 per month in child support. In addition, the judge ruled that Pacino owed Alfallah $10,000 up front, $13,000 for a night nurse and an annual $15,00 deposit for education, as well as any additional healthcare costs outside of insurance coverage. 
Alfallah hasn’t officially announced that she and Bill Maher are dating, but he definitely seems like her type. Maher recently said: “My dating is not age-appropriate,” though he didn’t mention Alfallah by name.
“I like meeting new people and I’m not a judge,” Alfallah said. “Today, I think a lot of people are kind of judgemental. I’m very curious about everybody. I’m curious about the waiter, the director. I’m curious about the artist, what they do and what makes them who they are.”
