In a whirlwind of romance and surprises, comedian and television host Bill Maher, 68, has proposed to his girlfriend, film producer Noor Alfallah, 30, after a series of high-profile dates. The couple, whose age difference has sparked buzz, left fans reeling with the additional revelation that they are expecting a child together.

Maher, known for his sharp wit and HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher, reportedly popped the question during an intimate dinner at a secluded Los Angeles restaurant last weekend. Sources close to the couple say the proposal was heartfelt, with Maher presenting Alfallah, previously linked to actor Al Pacino, with a stunning diamond ring. “Bill was nervous but resolute,” an insider shared. “He’s been smitten with Noor from the start, and their connection grew stronger with every date.”

The pair first sparked dating rumors earlier this year when they were spotted together at several Hollywood hotspots, including a cozy evening at Chateau Marmont and a charity gala where they appeared inseparable. Alfallah, a rising producer behind films like The Irishman, has been described as Maher’s intellectual match, with their shared passion for politics and culture fueling their bond.

But it was the couple’s announcement of an impending arrival that truly sent shockwaves through social media and entertainment circles. During a recent taping of Real Time, Maher alluded to “big personal news” before confirming the pregnancy in a candid moment that aired Friday night. “I’m going to be a dad,” he said, grinning as the audience erupted in applause. “Life keeps surprising me, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Alfallah, who has remained relatively private about her personal life, shared a brief statement through her publicist: “Bill and I are thrilled about our future together and this new chapter. We appreciate the love and support.”

The news has elicited a mix of congratulations and curiosity from fans, with some praising Maher’s zest for life and others speculating about the dynamics of the couple’s 38-year age gap. Alfallah’s past relationship with Pacino, 84, with whom she shares a young son, has also resurfaced in discussions, though sources emphasize her relationship with Maher is a fresh start.

“Bill’s always been a contrarian, so it’s no shock he’s rewriting the script at 68,” said a longtime friend of the comedian. “He’s genuinely excited about fatherhood and building a life with Noor.” The friend added that Maher has been quietly preparing for the role, reading parenting books and joking about trading late-night monologues for lullabies.

The couple has not disclosed further details about the pregnancy, including the due date or whether they’ve chosen a name. However, Maher hinted on his show that he’s leaning toward “something ironic” for a moniker, true to his irreverent style.

As Hollywood digests the news, Maher and Alfallah seem unfazed by the spotlight, focusing instead on their shared future. Whether navigating red carpets or diaper changes, the couple’s journey promises to be anything but conventional—just the way Maher likes it.
