“Ever since I had Roman, my time has become more intentional,” Alfallah expressed to Vouge Arabia on March 4.

“When he’s sleeping, it’s my time. I can read that script or watch that TV show, or just be me," Noor said.

She added, "When he’s awake, I want to be there; I want to be present,” she continued, highlighting the newfound purpose and focus in her daily routine.

Noor Alfallah on overcoming challenges during pregnancy

Alfallah didn’t shy away from discussing the difficulties she faced during her pregnancy, including a severe complication and the public scrutiny over her relationship with the ‘Scarface’ actor.

Reflecting on that period, she wished for more enjoyment during her pregnancy, despite the challenges.

“When I look back on it now, I wish I could have enjoyed my pregnancy more,” she asserted.

Nevertheless, Alfallah feels incredibly "blessed" to be a mother, describing her son as “the greatest gift from God.”

"It's greater than I ever could imagine," Alfallah added. "A thousand times better than what I ever thought he would be," she shared.

"Every day I look at him, I just know I'm so blessed. I say Mashallah, because I'm a little superstitious. Even when I got into Sundance -- Mashallah. Or, we're going to get into Cannes. Inshallah." she said.

Noor shared with the magazine that there are similarities between Italians and Arabs. 

"And because [Roman's] an Italian Arab, I think he's for sure going to be a soccer player," she joked.

"No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. He can be whatever he wants to be," she added, "His dad, of course, wants him to be whoever he wants to be… I think acting is in his genes though."
