The news comes after Robert revealed he "just had a baby" at age 79 last month with girlfriend Tiffany Chen. It's Robert's seventh child overall — the oldest of whom is 51.
Fast-forward to yesterday, and it was announced that Al is expecting a child with Noor Alfallah, age 29. It's not super clear what their current relationship status is. Al's oldest child is 33.
When asked in a recent interview about fatherhood at his age, Robert said, "Listen, Al Pacino just had a baby, I was told yesterday morning, and he’s a few years older than me. God bless him, I'm very happy for him."

He continued, "It feels great, yeah. When you’re older you have awareness of certain things in life — dynamics, everything, family dynamics. You can’t avoid learning certain things and how you can deal with those and manage them and this and that, the usual."
The hosts then brought up the news within the context of the recent viral Twitter poll asking who was hotter, to which Robert added, "It's amazing, but I'm very happy about it."
Robert was further asked by People magazine about the news of Al expanding his family, to which he said, "What a guy. Go, Al, God bless him."
