The Truth About Al Pacino's Kids

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Per E! News, Al Pacino had his first child, Julie Marie, with his ex, Jan Tarrant, in October 1989. In January 2001, Pacino's then-girlfriend actress Beverly D'Angelo gave birth to twins, Olivia Rose and Anton James. In an interview with The Guardian in April 2015, Pacino acknowledged shielding his family from the spotlight. "I haven't been in a grocery store or subway for years. It's hard for my children to go out publicly with me," he said. "Fame is different now than it was 20 years ago — I don't know what the hell it is now."

Instead of fame, Pacino is focused on righting wrongs from his childhood. He told The Guardian, "My parents divorced when I was two and my father wasn't in my life from then. I wanted to be different with my children. I wanted to be responsible to them, so I divide my time between two coasts." In September 2014, he shared a similar sentiment with the New Yorker, explaining, "I consciously knew that I didn't want to be like my dad. I wanted to be there." He said he wants to be part of his kids' lives, because "when I'm not, it's upsetting to me and to them. So that's part of the gestalt. And I get a lot from it. It takes you out of yourself."
