Al Pacino has revealed to friends that his biggest regret in life was never marrying Diane Keaton, with whom he had a relationship that lasted nearly 15 years.
Apparently, Al Pacino is facing the greatest regret of his life: not marrying Diane Keaton, who passed away last Saturday at the age of 79.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, a close friend of the 85-year-old actor revealed that Pacino “will forever regret not taking action when he had the chance.”
The source added: “For years after his split from Diane, Al used to say, ‘If it’s meant to be, it’s never too late to start again.’ But unfortunately, now it is,” emphasizing that he admitted Diane was the love of his life.
Pacino and Keaton met in 1974 during the filming of “The Godfather” and soon began a relationship that lasted until 1990, after the actor reportedly refused to marry.
In 2017, the actress spoke about Pacino and reflected that not marrying him might have actually been for the best: “I didn’t even want him to propose. I just thought maybe he’d marry me eventually,” she said at the time.
“We’re both very eccentric. He needed a woman to take care of him, and I needed a man to take care of me… It was important that we left each other in peace, that we said goodbye,” Keaton said. “But it wasn’t my choice,” she admitted.
Keaton never married but adopted two children at age 50 — her daughter Dexter, now 29, and her son Duke, 25. Pacino has also never married. The actor has four children: Julie Marie (35), twins Anton and Olivia (24), and his youngest son Roman (2).
