Memories of a Unique Bond
The strong connection between Al Pacino and Diane Keaton began in 1974 on the set of “The Godfather.” Keaton portrayed the character of Michael Corleone’s girlfriend, and their romance soon blossomed off-screen.
Relationship Timeline
- 1974: Al and Diane first met during filming.
- 1990: They ended their romantic relationship, reportedly due to Pacino’s reluctance to commit to marriage.

A source close to Al revealed that he has expressed profound sorrow for not seizing the chance to marry Diane. The friend remarked that he would “forever regret he didn’t make his move when he had the chance.” Over the years, Pacino often stated, “If it’s meant to be, it’s never too late for a do-over.” Sadly, with Diane’s passing, that opportunity is lost.
