Al Pacino reportedly regrets not marrying Diane Keaton after their on-again, off-again relationship that spanned nearly two decades.
Keaton — who died Saturday in California at age 79 — played Pacino’s girlfriend in “The Godfather” trilogy, and they started dating in 1974. They called it quits in 1990, after Keaton gave him an ultimatum and he refused to commit to marriage.
Pacino, 85, now wishes he had tied the knot with the late actress, a source told the Daily Mail in an article published Sunday.

“I know he will forever regret he didn’t make his move when he had the chance,” a friend of the legendary actor told the outlet. “For years after he and Diane split, Al used to say, ‘If it’s meant to be, it’s never too late for a do-over.’ But sadly, now it is.”
“Looking back, Al admits the love of his life was Diane, who he’s always called, ‘an amazing woman,’” the friend added.
The source also said that Keaton and Pacino never spoke — despite having both lived near one another in Beverly Hills.
“I once asked him why, and he told me, ‘There’s no need to talk with each other. We said everything that needed to be said at the time,’” the source said.
