Al Pacino Serves Up Romance in Rome: The Legend Gets Cozy with a Much Younger Journalist

Al Pacino grinned ear to ear when he got a kiss from a young woman in Rome on Monday. The 85-year-old cinema icon was spotted dropping by the restaurant Il Bolognese in Piazza del Popolo for dinner while in Italy to film the biopic Maserati: The Brothers

SCANDALOUS ROMANCE ROCKS ROME!

In a shocking display of passion, 85-year-old cinema legend Al Pacino was spotted getting cozy with a young Italian journalist, Caterina Di Terlizzi, in Rome on Monday night! The Godfather star's smitten smile said it all as he basked in the affection of his newfound love interest, who is a whopping several decades younger than him.

Pacino, still going strong at 85, was dining at Il Bolognese restaurant in Piazza del Popolo when he received a sultry smooch from Di Terlizzi, a freelance journalist for NBC News. The Oscar-winning actor looked like the cat who got the cream as he beamed with joy, his eyes shining bright behind reflective aviator sunglasses.

But this wasn't just a friendly peck on the cheek – oh no! Di Terlizzi wrapped her arm around Pacino's waist and planted a big, juicy kiss right on his cheek. The actor responded by leaning over to give her a warm hug, clearly smitten with the young journalist.

This isn't Pacino's first rodeo, folks. Just last month, he welcomed his fourth child, baby Roman, with his ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah – a whopping 43 years younger than him! Talk about ageless love.

Pacino's got a type, it seems – young and fiery women who can keep up with his wild ride. Remember when he dated Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger's girlfriend, Noor Alfallah? Yeah, that was a thing. And now, it looks like he's found a new muse in Di Terlizzi.

But don't worry, fans – Pacino's still got game. At 85, the actor is still rocking his signature style, complete with baggy sweatpants and black-and-white trainers (just like his friend Leonardo DiCaprio). And, of course, he was sporting that iconic Shrek phone case – because why change what works, right?

Pacino's busy filming the auto-themed biopic Maserati: The Brothers in Rome, but it looks like love is on his mind. Who knew being 85 could be so fabulous? Stay tuned for more updates on this scandalous romance!

UPDATE: Noor Alfallah, Pacino's ex-girlfriend and mother of baby Roman, was spotted taking their son out for a fun day at a park in Los Angeles last month. We can't help but wonder – is Pacino's new love affair with Di Terlizzi the reason behind his growing distance from Alfallah?

The cozy display comes just over two years after Pacino welcomed his fourth child, two-year-old son Roman, with his ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah. He confirmed that they were no longer dating in October 2024; seen in August 2023 in NYC
