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.
