I have friends in their 70s; men and women who are totally my friends who I love, who I’d rather be with than people my own age.”

Alfallah was born in Santa Monica to an American mother and Kuwaiti father. She moved to Kuwait at the age of 11 and four years later she moved to Dubai.
“On returning to the States from Dubai as a teenager, groups of friends were already established,” Alfallah said. “I think that’s how a lot of my friends ended up being older than me.”
Alfallah made headlines when she started dating Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. At that time, she was 22 years old and he was 74 years old. A year later, he was photographed with Clint Eastwood outside LA hot spot Craig’s. However, she shot down rumors of dating Eastwood.

“I like meeting new people and I’m not a judge,” Alfallah said. “Today, I think a lot of people are judgmental. I’m very curious about everyone. I’m curious about the waiter, the director. I’m curious about the artists, what they do and what makes them do that. Makes them what they are.”
“Even though, in many ways, I’m shy, the curiosity inside me makes me who I am,” she said. “As a young child, moving multiple times to different countries, different schools… If I had stayed quiet, I wouldn’t have been able to make friends. So, I had to become that person.”
Alfallah and Pacino met at a dinner party in 2010. they became friends.
“Then the pandemic hit,” she recalled. “Al lives across the street from my house, and we started spending every day together, playing chess and watching movies. It was like film school with Al Pacino. ‘Have you ever seen Scarface?’ he asked me, ‘No,’ I replied, ‘though I know the lines, say hello to my little friend.’ He showed me some of his obscure films, like Marthe Keller’s ‘Bobby Deerfield,’ which is now my favorite of all his films.”
Alfallah said that her friendship with Pacino eventually “turned into something more.” Last year, in June, they welcomed their son, Roman. Alfalah recently told TMZ that she and Pacino are no longer together, however, she added that Pacino is her “best friend” and they are co-parenting Roman together.
