Al Pacino and actress Meital Dohan have reportedly split after getting together roughly two years ago.

Speaking with Israel’s La'Isha magazine, the 40-year-old actress admitted that the 39-year age difference between herself and "The Irishman" star was in large part to blame for their separation. 

"It's hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino," she told the outlet (via The Jerusalem Post). "I tried to deny it, but he is already an elderly man."

Rumors that the duo was on the rocks began when Pacino attended the 2020 Oscars by himself, despite his nomination for best supporting actor for his part in Martin Scorsese’s "The Irishman." Pacino ultimately lost in his category to Brad Pitt, who was nominated for his role in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
