Veteran Hollywood actor Al Pacino has been making headlines again — this time not for a film role, but for a public display of affection with a new companion. The 85-year-old Oscar winner was seen dining with Italian journalist Caterina Di Terlizzi at a cozy restaurant in Rome’s Piazza del Popolo. At one point during the evening, paparazzi caught the pair sharing a kiss.
Caterina, a young journalist originally from Italy, is said to be working as a freelance correspondent for NBC News. She earned her master’s degree in journalism and multimedia communications just last year, in 2023. Her social media presence remains private, with a modest following of around 11,000 people.
Pacino is currently in Italy filming The Maserati Brothers, a biographical movie centered on the iconic Italian car-making family. It seems his time on set is being balanced with a bit of romance.
This new relationship comes less than a year after Pacino ended things with 31-year-old film producer Nur Alfallah. Their relationship began in 2022 during the pandemic and quickly drew attention due to their significant age gap — 54 years. In 2023, the couple welcomed a son named Roman, though their relationship became strained after Pacino reportedly requested a paternity test during Alfallah’s pregnancy, unsure whether he could still father children at his age. The pair quietly separated in October of that year.
Al Pacino, despite never marrying, is a father to four children — his eldest daughter Julie, and twins Anton and Olivia from previous relationships. While the actor is known for keeping his private life relatively guarded, his latest outing in Rome shows that even in his eighties, he continues to attract attention both on and off the screen.
