Al Pacino Reveals How His Life Changed After Welcoming Kids at 62

Family is a major part of our life, and it’s no different for celebrities either, but there’s one question that concerns everyone. When is the best possible time to commit yourself to having a child? The way we see it, there’s no specific age for this. The ideal time to start a family can be different for everyone. However, researchers show that starting a family at an older age can benefit both the child and the parent as well.

There’s a comfort factor in having a family, but it can be relative to who you are.

We’re all familiar with the famous actor Alfredo James Pacino, better known as Al Pacino. Some might know him as one of the iconic stars of the movie trilogy, The Godfather. Back in the day, Al and his former partner, Beverly D’Angelo, were in a relationship. And although they were in love, the pair had no plans of tying the knot.

However, they knew they wanted to have kids together and, later on, they became the proud parents of their twins, Olivia Pacino and Anton James Pacino, who were born in 2001. Their iconic relationship didn’t last for long, they broke up just two years after the birth of their children.

Becoming a father radically changed the actors perspective on life.

Before the birth of Al Pacino’s children, his major focus was on the entertainment world. Al Pacino has never been married, but had many partners in his life. Soon after the arrival of his twins, everything changed. Fatherhood brought with it joy, but also renouncements. Later on, the actor showed serious commitment toward raising his children.

At the time, he said that he doesn’t intend to make the same mistakes with the twins that he made with his eldest daughter, to whom, he admits, he was something of an absentee father. He also said
“I realize the value of being there with the children and what it means to me.”

The actor thinks about his age like just a number.

“I don’t think about my age. Maybe I’m lucky, maybe I’m delusional. But I recommend having a family to people who are older,” he stated in an interview with The Mirror. The famous actor became a father at the age of 62.

He recommends having a family at an older age, mostly because of his childhood experiences with his father who left him at a very young age, right after the divorce of his parents. A family means total commitment, and usually the early years of a person are the busiest ones. This way, you can take part in every moment of your child’s life.

You may be wondering, what are the twins doing nowadays?

The twins are already 21 and the legend himself just turned 83. Olivia has lived most of her life out of the Hollywood spotlight, but she’s quite active on social media, especially on Instagram. Unlike his sister, Anton is not active at all, so there’s not much to know about him.

Al Pacino’s decision to embrace fatherhood at the age of 62 highlights the transformative nature of family. His experience serves as a reminder that life’s most meaningful moments can occur at any stage, bringing unexpected joy and change.
