Al Pacino is "not married".

The 85-year-old Hollywood star has been sporting what looks like a wedding band at recent events, sparking speculation he might have taken a major step in a relationship.

However, his team has shot down the gossip.

A representative for the star told People: "Al Pacino is not married."

He was seen with the ring most recently at an event for the One Battle After Another flick, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor.

Pacino has a two-year-old son with his most recent lover, Noor Alfallah.

Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that the Scarface star "regrets" not marrying Diane Keaton.

The late actress - who died aged 79 in October - previously said she had a "crush" on her co-star when they filmed The Godfather together in 1971, but things did not turn romantic until they were making 1974's The Godfather 2.

Keaton and Pacino - who played a couple, Kay Adams-Corleone and Michael Corleone, respectively, in the films - had an on-and-off relationship from 1971 to 1987 before they split in 1990, because he would not commit to marriage.

A pal of Pacino's told MailOnline: "Looking back, Al admits the love of his life was Diane who he's always called, 'an amazing woman'.

"I know he will forever regret he didn't make his move when he had the chance.

"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."

Despite the alleged regret about not asking Keaton for her hand in marriage, the friend says Pacino's children - also including daughter Julie, 36, who he has with his ex-girlfriend, Jan Tarrant, and 24-year-old twins Anton and Olivia with 74-year-old actress Beverly D'Angelo - are the most important people in his life.

The pal added: "Al adores all his kids.

"And although he preferred living in New York, he also purchased a home in Los Angeles just so he could spend more time on the West Coast with his children, who lived there."

Pacino and Keaton lived near each other in Beverly Hills, California, for "years", but they "never" spoke.

The insider continued: "Though he and Diane both lived in Beverly Hills, only a few miles from each other for years, they never spoke.

"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.'"

She once told People of her crush Pacino: "I was mad for him. Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker,' she reflected to People years later.

"There was an aspect of him that was like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant. And oh [so] gorgeous."
