Key Points Bill Maher and Noor Alfallah attended a Halloween party together. Alfallah previously clarified, “Bill’s my friend, just my friend.” Maher discussed his preference for younger partners and challenged “age-appropriate” dating norms. Bill Maher, 69, raised eyebrows after he left a party with Noor Alfallah, 31, in new photos—reigniting dating rumor in the process.

The comedian posed with one hand on his hips and his other around Alfallah’s back. They were also spotted leaving the event together. The public outing comes about a year after Alfallah shut down rumors that she and Maher were dating in 2024, telling TMZ, “Bill’s my friend, just my friend,” adding, “He’s great, though, but we’re just friends.” Alfallah shares a one-year-old son, Roman, with Pacino, 85, and has previously dated famous older men—including Mick Jagger, 82, and billionaire Nicholas Berggruen, 64. “She is a good girl with an old soul, but she has a spirit that is very youthful. She is fun,” a source told Page Six of Alfallah in 2023. “A guy in his 70s or 80s would feel young around her. She has a generosity of spirit.” Maher, meanwhile, has been romantically linked to younger women, including Anjulie, Cara Santa Maria, Jasmine Boussem, Karrine Steffans, Thora Bich, Rochelle Loewen, Kaya Jones, and more. In January, Maher addressed dating younger on the Fly on the Wall, the podcast hosted by Dana Carvey and David Spade. “I think a great show would be one of us—mostly, probably, me—doing The Golden Bachelor, but—like our real lives—not with an age-appropriate woman,” Maher told Spade. Maher declared that dating “age-appropriate” women is “boring” as he insisted his reality show pitch would instead feature “an age-inappropriate woman.” Maher added, “Because, you know what the appropriate age for a relationship is? One that works.”
