Noor Alfallah got candid about being diagnosed with a life-threatening complication while pregnant with her and Al Pacino’s son.
Shortly before giving birth to Roman in June 2023, Alfallah was diagnosed with HELLP Syndrome, which causes elevated liver enzymes sometimes leading to seizures, per Medline Plus.
“When I look back on it now, I wish I could have enjoyed my pregnancy more,” she said during an interview with Vogue Arabia published Monday.

She further recalled the bags of magnesium she was hooked up to and the inability to be alone with her newborn in the event she would have a seizure.
Despite the setbacks, parenting with Pacino, 83, has been “greater” than Alfallah “ever could imagine.”
“Roman has just been the greatest gift from God, a thousand times better than what I ever thought he would be. Every day I look at him, I just know I’m so blessed.”

The “Godfather” actor’s rep confirmed in May 2023 that he was expecting a baby with his girlfriend — more than a year after the duo took their romance public.
Pvnew previously confirmed that Pacino and Alfallah kept their relationship under the radar for months and started dating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The two are still going strong despite the film producer and her beau going to court to hash out custody of their son — they were both granted joint legal custody in October 2023.
Alfallah received primary physical custody of Roman, and the “Scarface” star was ordered to pay more than $30,000 a month in child support.
Following the court ruling, the Sony producer and Pacino weren’t seen out together until last month when paparazzi saw them at dinner in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The actor also shares daughter Julie, 34, with ex-girlfriend Jan Tarrant, and twins Anton and Olivia, 23, with ex Beverly D’Angelo.
