Al Pacino is said to be mourning not only the loss of Diane Keaton but also the chance he missed to make her his wife. The pair, whose romance began on the set of ‘The Godfather’ in 1974, had an on-and-off again relationship for nearly two decades before parting ways in 1990.
Keaton, who died on October 11 at age 79, had given Pacino an ultimatum to settle down—a proposal he ultimately declined. Decades later, the 85-year-old actor reportedly regrets that decision deeply. “Looking back, Al admits the love of his life was Diane,” a close friend told the Daily Mail, adding that he has always described her as “an amazing woman.”
