Here’s a heartbreaking revelation that will leave you pondering the 'what ifs' of life: Al Pacino is reportedly haunted by the regret of never marrying his ex-girlfriend, Diane Keaton, who passed away at 79. But here's where it gets even more poignant—Pacino, now 85, is said to feel that Keaton will forever be the one who slipped through his fingers. According to Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15185451/al-pacino-diane-keaton-death-regret.html), a close friend revealed that Pacino will 'forever regret not making his move when he had the chance.' And this is the part most people miss: For years after their split, Pacino reportedly clung to the hope that 'if it’s meant to be, it’s never too late for a do-over.' Tragically, time has proven that it is, indeed, too late. The actor has openly admitted that Keaton was the love of his life, a sentiment that adds an extra layer of sorrow to this story.
The two first crossed paths in 1974 on the iconic set of The Godfather, where Keaton played his on-screen girlfriend. Their chemistry quickly spilled off-screen, and they began dating shortly after. However, their relationship came to an end in 1990 when Pacino reportedly refused to commit to marriage. This is where opinions start to diverge: Was Pacino’s reluctance to marry a missed opportunity, or was it a decision that ultimately spared both parties from potential heartbreak? It’s a question that sparks debate, especially when considering Keaton’s own perspective. In 2017, she reflected that while the split wasn’t her choice, they were ultimately better off apart. Did she truly find closure, or was this a polite way to mask lingering feelings? We may never know.
Keaton’s passing on Saturday, with the cause of death still undisclosed, has reignited conversations about this iconic Hollywood romance. But here’s the controversial question: If Pacino had proposed, would their love story have stood the test of time, or would it have crumbled under the weight of marriage?
