'This is really special coming at this time': Al Pacino, 83, breaks silence to celebrate 29-year-old girlfriend's pregnancy - after claims he demanded paternity test because she 'hoodwinked' him

Al Pacino, 83, has voiced his delight at becoming a late-in-life father, breaking his silence about his 29-year-old girlfriend's pregnancy for the first time to gush about how 'special' his fourth child is. The iconic movie star shared his true thoughts about the impending arrival of his fourth child - his first with girlfriend Noor Alfallah - while out for a stroll in Los Angeles on Monday, when he shut down any rumors about drama and upset surrounding the pregnancy announcement. In fact, Al, who has three other children by two women, was quick to make clear just how significant this pregnancy is for him - because it has come so late in his life. 'It's very special,' he said when asked by a photographer if he is 'excited' to be welcoming another baby. 'It always has been. I've got many kids. But this is really special coming at this time.' In the exclusive video obtained by DailyMail.com, the star added that he does not yet know the baby's gender is. Al's joyful response to his girlfriend's baby news comes amid furious speculation and rumor about the circumstances of the pregnancy - and seemingly shuts down reports that the actor was less-than-thrilled when he was given the news that Noor is expecting. Since the news about Al and Noor's upcoming arrival was revealed, numerous rumors have swirled suggesting that the Scarface star demanded a DNA test - and that he had been 'hoodwinked' by his partner. However, someone close to Al called these rumors 'complete and utter bulls**t' exclusively to DailyMail.com, insisting that the 83-year-old 'could not be happier' over the news - something he has now confirmed himself. The father-of-three, who was accompanied by an unidentified male friend, donned a navy blue sports jacket over a similar colored top and dress pants for Monday's outing. He paired the look with dark Aviator sunglasses, a neck scarf, and sneakers. Al already shares 22-year-old twins Olivia Pacino and Anton James Pacino with his ex, Beverly D'Angelo, as well as 33-year-old daughter Julie Pacino with Jan Tarrant. He and Noor - who is allegedly eight months along - have been romantically linked since April 2022, and were last seen together in May, while grabbing dinner at the upscale Los Angeles eatery E Baldi. Following the announcement, TMZ reported that Al did not believe the child was his at first since he had medical issues that would 'commonly prevent a man from impregnating a woman.'
