Yes, Al recently had his fourth child, Roman, with 30-year-old producer Noor Alfallah (who, fun fact, is younger than his eldest child). Speculation immediately emerged regarding the status of Noor and Al's relationship, with conflicting reports suggesting they'd broken up.

Speaking to People about his memoir, Sonny Boy, Al responded to a question about whether or not he is in a relationship by saying, "No. I have friendship."

A representative for Al then added, "Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years, and are coparents to their son Roman."

Apparently, Al describes marriage in his book as "an entrance to the pain train." When asked to elaborate, he said, "Everything's a ticket to the pain train. A ticket or nothing. Are you going to go or not? No, I'll stay here. I'll stay here at the station, I'm not getting on."

Adding that marriage never "suited" him "for some reason," he continued, “I have friends all over the place. I must say I'm very lucky with that.”
