Al Pacino's ex Noor Alfallah addresses Bill Maher dating rumors after being seen with him: 'He's great'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Al Pacino's ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah, who is the mother of his youngest child, Roman, 1, has denied reports that she was romantically involved with Bill Maher.
Alfallah, 30, and Maher, 68, were spotted leaving Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont earlier in October, sparking romance rumors. Alfallah has now denied those rumors, claiming that the two are "just friends" and that their relationship is completely platonic.
Speaking to TMZ on Thursday, October 17, Alfallah said, "Bill's my friend — just my friend. He's great though, but we're just friends."
Alfallah further asserted that Pacino is her "best friend," which led the paparazzo to inquire, "Are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend still?" to which she replied, "No," reiterating that they are still friends even after their romantic relationship ended.
She also claimed that although she and Pacino are not together, co-parenting Roman was "amazing."
Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah became 'friends' after romantic relationship ended
The aforementioned query was raised after the single mother was spotted on Sunday, October 6, leaving in Maher's black vehicle out of the famous Chateau Marmont.
She and Pacino were spotted dining together at Chez Mia in West Hollywood just hours before, which made others wonder about their relationship status.
As per Daily Mail, Alfallah and Pacino were first connected in April 2022 and began dating during the COVID-19 lockdown. The couple welcomed Pacino's fourth child and their first together in June 2023.
The legendary actor, however, recently confirmed that he and Alfallah had parted ways and they are "just friends" and "co-parents" to their one-year-old son Roman.
He explained his dating status while promoting his upcoming memoir 'Sonny Boy'. When asked if he was in a relationship by People, the never-married star responded, "No. I have friendship."
"Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years, and are co-parents to their son Roman," the actor's representative confirmed to the outlet.
Despite not living with his son, the 'Godfather' star recently talked about using technology to get in touch with Roman. "He does text me from time to time," Pacino told the BBC as he was promoting 'Sonny Boy'.
Pacino said of his youngest son, "Everything he does is interesting to me. So, we talk. I play the harmonica with him on the other video thing, and we have made this kind of contact. So, it's fun."
A few days later, Alfallah—who had previously been connected to Mick Jagger—was spotted with Maher as they left Hollywood's Chateau Marmont Hotel, which at the time sparked romance rumors.

Pacino and Alfallah reportedly split in 2023 but their representatives initially denied it. However, TMZ obtained the legal paperwork in November 2023 that confirmed the specifics of the custody agreement they had developed and agreed upon together.
Pacino has been ordered to pay $30,000 per month in standard child support and agreed to pay Alfallah $110,000 in upfront child support. Additionally, he would be responsible for paying $13,000 a month for a night nurse and any uninsured medical bills.
Pacino was also mandated to contribute $15,000 a year to Roman's education fund. The duo was spotted dining out in Los Angeles, suggesting that they were still on good terms despite the custody procedures.
