Throughout his lengthy Hollywood career, Al Pacino has been nominated for nine Academy Awards. He won once in ’93, earning the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Scent of a Woman. He may not have taken home his second trophy at the 2020 ceremony for his role in The Irishman, but it’s an impressive number of nominations for an actor and a testament to the 79-year-old’s success in the industry.
While his IMDb page spans decades and takes quite a while to scroll through, far less is known about Pacino’s personal life. Sure, true fans can recount the women he’s been romantically linked to, but what about his kids? Pacino has three children (who are technically all grown up now), but they’re much more out of the spotlight. Although you don’t see them popping up all the time like some celebrity offspring, that doesn’t mean Pacino doesn’t care about his kids. In fact, he’s been open about just how much they’ve changed his perspective for the better.

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.”
