Diane Keaton’s passing at 79 has left a deep ache in Hollywood — and in the heart of her former love, Al Pacino. The legendary actor, now 85, has opened up through a close friend about the one regret that still haunts him. “Looking back, Al admits the love of his life was Diane,” the insider revealed.
Their connection began on The Godfather set and evolved into a relationship full of passion and heartbreak. Though they never married, their chemistry defined an era. In her memoir, Keaton admitted Pacino never intended to wed, calling their breakup one of the hardest moments of her life.
Despite years apart, Pacino never forgot her. He once wrote, “I think about you often. Love, Al.” And in 2017, at an AFI tribute, he publicly declared, “I love you, forever.”
Keaton once said he wasn’t the love of her life, but the love of that time in her life. Now, with her gone, Pacino is left with memories — and the silence of what might have been.
