The 39-year age gap between Pacino and Sola was never a problem as many might have thought it to be. The actor clarified that there was more to a person than their age.
For instance, Pacino said whenever he’s asked how old he is, it often felt like a question about how long he still has on earth, to which he said, “I don’t’ know.’ I don’t think in numbers.”
This mentality helped the former couple build a strong connection that held their relationship together for the years they spent together.
However, above all else, Pacino preaches the importance of making mistakes and learning from them, and through his mistakes, he has met people that have changed his life for the better. This, for Pacino, is what makes life interesting.
The iconic actor has never been married but has three children from his previous relationship, Julie Marie, Anton James, and Olivia Pacino. Pacino shared two of his children with actress Beverly D’Angelo, whom he dated from 1996 to 2003.
