The TMZ website, which specializes in publishing celebrity news, revealed that the veteran American actor, Al Pacino, had requested that his American partner, of Kuwaiti origins, Nour Al-Falah, undergo a DNA test to prove that the child he was carrying was of his own.
And the site quoted informed sources as saying that Al Pacino was initially sure that he was unable to make his partner or any other woman pregnant from him, and therefore he believed that the child was not his.
The site added that the famous 83-year-old actor was suffering from medical problems that usually prevent men from having children, indicating that Al Pacino was shocked when he learned of the news of his girlfriend’s pregnancy.
The sources stated that Al Pacino initially suspected that the child was his and asked her to undergo a DNA test, which eventually showed that the child was his.
The site said that Al Pacino was not planning to be the father of a new child, at this age, and that his girlfriend’s pregnancy was a surprise to him.
And the “NBC News” news network quoted, on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the American star, as saying that the 29-year-old model, Nour Al-Falah, is eight months pregnant, after she was romantically linked to the star of the famous “The Godfather” series, in April last year.
Al Pacino has a daughter, Julie Marie, 33, who he had with his ex-girlfriend, Jan Tarrant.
He also fathered the 22-year-old twins, Anton and Olivia, from the American actress and singer, Beverly D’Angelo.
Al-Falah was born in Kuwait to a Kuwaiti father and an American mother, but she grew up in the United States, according to the American magazine “Harper’s Bazaar”.
And she was previously romantically linked to British musician and singer, Mick Jagger, in 2017, and then dated billionaire, Nicholas Berggruen, in 2018.
