Comedian Bill Maher, known for his unfiltered views on politics and society, recently shared his candid opinions on dating and marriage during an appearance on The Skinny Confidential’s Him & Her podcast. The 68-year-old host of Real Time with Bill Maher addressed his approach to relationships, marriage, and the rumors linking him to Noor Alfallah, the ex-girlfriend of legendary actor Al Pacino.
Bill Maher and Noor Alfallah Rumors
Maher’s appearance on the podcast comes in the wake of speculation that he might be romantically involved with Noor Alfallah, 30, after the two were spotted together at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The rumor mill quickly went into overdrive, given Alfallah’s high-profile past relationship with Al Pacino, with whom she shares a child. However, Alfallah has denied all claims about her relationship with Maher, dismissing them as baseless rumors.
When asked about his dating life, Maher brushed off the rumors, not directly addressing his alleged connection with Alfallah. However, he did delve into his general dating preferences and thoughts on relationships, offering a glimpse into his personal philosophy when it comes to love.
Maher’s Approach to Dating: ‘Not Age-Appropriate’
On the podcast, Maher revealed that he is not particularly eager to date or pursue romantic relationships, especially with women around his own age. “I’m not looking. I’m good,” Maher stated, adding that his unavailability often made him more attractive to women. He noted that he has been approached by women despite not actively seeking out relationships, a dynamic he finds somewhat surprising.
Maher then opened up about the fact that he typically dates women younger than himself, saying, “My dating is not age-appropriate.” While Maher acknowledged that his dating choices might raise eyebrows or be perceived as unconventional, he made no apologies for his preferences. When podcast host Michael Bosstick asked if his romantic inclinations were viewed critically due to the age gap, Maher responded, “Not just perceived, they literally are.”
Maher’s honesty and nonchalance about dating younger women struck a chord with listeners. He bluntly addressed any potential criticism that might come his way for dating outside his age bracket, adding, “The people who are pissed off at that, f*** you. You do you, I do me. You do what works for you.”
His Views on Marriage: ‘It’s Not Hinduism, There’s No Belief in It’
Shifting the conversation to marriage, Maher made it clear that he has no intention of walking down the aisle. “I don’t believe in it. It’s not Hinduism, there’s no belief in it,” he remarked, suggesting that marriage is a social construct that doesn’t align with his personal values. Maher admitted that he finds the idea of marriage disruptive, saying it would “ruin everything.”

He urged listeners not to feel pressured into marriage simply to conform to societal expectations.

Maher’s interview, as candid and unapologetic as ever, highlighted his firm belief in living life on his own terms.
