Hoo-ah! Pacino baby news at 83 sparks wave of Twitter jokes

- MARK DANIELL

Pretty soon, Al Pacino and his girlfriend Noor Alfallah are going to be eligible for bulk diaper discounts after reports the Oscar winner is about to welcome his fourth child with the 29-year-old producer.

Pacino’s rep has confirmed to multiple media outlets that the 83-year-old “Godfather” star is set to become the oldest Hollywood dad after news reports surfaced that he is expecting a new baby with Alfallah.

The news comes after Pacino’s pal, Robert De Niro, 79, announced that he had recently welcomed his seventh child with girlfriend Tiffany Chen.

Pacino’s girlfriend has previously been linked to Mick Jagger and billionair­e Nicolas Berggruen. She has also been spotted on dates with “Hostel” director Eli Roth and was linked to Clint Eastwood, who was later revealed to be a family friend.

“Our ages didn’t matter to me,” she told Hello! magazine after breaking up with the Rolling Stones rocker in 2018 (per Page Six ). “The heart doesn’t know what it sees, it only knows what it feels. It was my first serious relationsh­ip, but it was a happy time for me.”

“She mostly dates very rich older men,” a source told Page Six last year after her relationsh­ip with Pacino became public news.

Speaking to Page Six, the unnamed insider said that the age difference between Pacino and the Kuwaiti-american film producer “doesn’t seem to be a problem,” even though the actor is “older than (Noor’s) father.”

Pacino, who has never been married, is father to three children — daughter Julie with acting coach Jan Tarrant, and twins Anton and Olivia with actress Beverly D’angelo.

a dad, saying, “I’m responsibl­e to them. I’m a part of their life. When I’m not, it’s upsetting to me and to them. So that’s part of the gestalt. And I get a lot from it. It takes you out of yourself.”

On social media, plenty of people shared jokes about the “Heat” star’s upcoming special delivery.

“Not in my lifetime, could anyone have told me that Al Pacino and Robert De Niro would be walking their infants they biological­ly conceived while on Medicare and cholestero­l meds, through Central Park in 2024,” one wisecracke­r joked, calling the pair “truly the greatest” of all time.

“How is Robert De Niro and Al Pacino able to make babies at their fossil ages,” a second person wondered . “I would’ve thought they would have erectile dysfunctio­n by now.”

“Al Pacino’s partner will be changing the baby’s nappy and then the father’s, straight after,” a third joked , with a fourth person adding, “Al Pacino and his girlfriend are expecting a baby next month. That means she can look forward to feedings, changings ... and taking care of a baby.”

“It’s awkward knowing that Al Pacino & Robert De Niro not only still bumpin uglies but they makin’ babies with them thangs,” one critic swiped.

“These guys are dogs,” another person dismissed using a clip of the actors smiling together on a red carpet.

With Clint Eastwood trending (Wednesday was the filmmaker’s 93rd birthday), one Twitter user was curious to know if he was getting in on the action.

“Saw Clint Eastwood trending on Twitter, thought he too is having another baby like his old pals Robert De Niro and Al Pacino,” they wrote . “Phew, Happy Birthday!”

Earlier this month, Pacino’s ex D’angelo made a rare social media post in which she talked about their relationsh­ip and the former couple’s children.

“It’s (definitely) a unique relationsh­ip, encompassi­ng a wide breadth / depth of experience­s and emotions, through thick and thin, a true friendship,” she wrote.
