Veteran actor and filmmaker Al Pacino, 81, has achieved considerable fame and fortune for his movie roles over the years, having starred in such classics as Scarface, The Godfather trilogy, and most recently The Irishman. His career has been colorful, exciting, and filled with adultation and appreciation. But what about his personal life? Well, it turns out that behind closed doors, the actor's life has been just as exciting and adventure-filled.
The famously talented actor has enjoyed relationships with a bevy of beautiful ladies, often with a significant age gap, but has never been married. From his relationships, he has fathered three children: Julie Marie, Anton James, and Olivia Rose. Despite his history of success with the ladies, it seems these victories have never really translated into long-lasting happiness. So which ladies has Al Pacino been involved with? Let's find out more about some of the relationships that the actor has had over the years.
7 Meital Dohan
Pacino's most recent relationship was with Israeli actress Meital Dohan. Things ended rather acronomiously in 2018, after Meital accused her former boyfriend of being miserly, and found the age-cap to be insurmountable.
“I tried to deny it,” she told Israeli magazine La’Isha, “but now he is already an elderly man, to be honest. So even with all my love, it didn’t last.”
With regards to his spending habits, she said: “How can I say politely that he didn’t like to spend money? … He only bought me flowers,” she said.
“I really love and appreciate him, and I was glad to be there for him when he needed me, and to be a part of his legacy,” she continued. “It’s an honor for me. I’m glad this relationship happened between us, and hope we remain good friends.”
6 Lucila Polak
One of Pacino's longest and most successful relationships was with beautiful actress Lucila Polak. The star, who hails from Argentina, met Al back in 2008 and they soon began seeing each other. Things were serious for both of them, and for one of the few times in his life, the Godfather actor was talking seriously about the prospect of marriage and kids with Polak. His girlfriend, however, had some reservations and was hesitant about commitment of this kind. Ultimately, things didn't work out between the pair - conflicting work schedules and constant arguments eventually drove a wedge between the two, who called time on their romance after over ten years together in 2019.
5 Beverly D'Angelo
Another of Pacino's lengthy relationships was with Beverly D'Angelo. The two met at 30,000 feet on a flight between LA and New York, and quickly became a couple. Things were serious between them, and the pair decided to try for children together. After having difficulty conceiving, they went down the IVF route, and successfully brought twins Anton and Olivia into the world in 2001.
It was after the birth of their children, however, that the relationship began to crumble. By 2003, things were completely over between Al and Beverly, and a bitter custody battle ensued over the twins. Pacino battled for joint custody and visitation rights, but had to fight hard, and in 2004 a private settlement was reached between them.
4 Diane Keaton
Al and Godfather co-star Diane Keaton had raging crushes on each other while working together on the iconic mafia movies during the 1970s, but it wasn't until a few years before the third installment's release in 1990 that they actually got together. Diane was obsessed with Al, and was intoxicated by his fatal combination of charm and 'killer' good looks. Their relationship was built upon a shared experience of the acting world and a respect for each other's craft, and it seemed supportive and healthy. Unfortunately, however, Al and Diane weren't able to go the distance with their romance. The relationship lasted just three years.
3 Veruschka Von Lehndorff
Amidst the bevy of beauties Pacino has been associated, he also dated German model and actress Veruschka von Lehndorff. The beauty was courted by many Hollywood actors, but Pacino was unable to tie her down. After a very brief fling, she decided to move on from Pacino, dating several other big names over the years.
2 Tuesday Weld
Pacino left his longtime girlfriend Jill Clayburgh for the beautiful Tuesday Weld - the 'bad girl' of Hollywood. Pacino and Tuesday were only together for a few months before breaking up. Tuesday went on to marry three times - once to actor Dudley Moore.
1 Jill Clayburgh
Jill was Al's first love, back before he became famous. The pair helped each other through auditions, living a bohemian life in New York together. They were incredibly close, and even planning marriage and kids, but Al ended up calling things off after five years together, leaving her for Tuesday Weld.
