Hollywood and fans worldwide are mourning the passing of Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning actress known for iconic roles in Annie Hall, The Godfather, and Something’s Gotta Give. Keaton, who passed away on October 11, 2025, at the age of 79, was admired not just for her acting but also for her independence and unique approach to life and relationships.
Throughout her career, Diane Keaton had several high-profile romances. She was famously linked to Woody Allen, her co-star and director of Annie Hall, in the early 1970s. She also dated Al Pacino, with whom she shared an intense relationship during and after The Godfather, and Warren Beatty, another long-term romance in the 1980s. Despite these relationships, Keaton never married, often stating that marriage simply didn’t appeal to her. She valued her personal freedom and autonomy over societal expectations.
In later years, Diane Keaton focused on her career and family. She became a mother through adoption in her 50s, welcoming two children, Dexter and Duke, and raised them as a single parent. Interviews in 2019 and 2023 reveal that she had no interest in dating during her later years. She openly admitted that pursuing romance at her age was “highly unlikely,” emphasizing that she was content with her life as it was.
At the time of her death, Diane Keaton was not in a romantic relationship. Her life demonstrates that fulfillment can be found outside of traditional partnerships, and she leaves behind a legacy of independence, creativity, and love for her family. Fans remember her not only as a screen legend but as a woman who lived life fully on her own terms.
