With a chuckle, she added: "I haven't been on a date in, I would say, 35 years. No dates." Chatting with InStyle magazine, she said: "I have a lot of male friends. I have a lot of friends, but no dates. No mwah-mwah."

Incredible love life

Despite the absence of romantic interest in recent years, Diane was previously linked to several A-list celebrities.

Back in 1969, she began dating Woody Allen and they briefly cohabited during production. However, by the time their film of the same name was released in 1972, their living situation had become less formal.

It was Diane's sense of humour that won over the film director and she has stated that he remains one of her closest pals.

She also had an on-again, off-again relationship with her Godfather co-star Al Pacino, which concluded after they wrapped up filming The Godfather Part III.

In a 2004 interview with Barbara Walters, she gushed: "Al was simply the most entertaining man. To me, that's, that is the most beautiful face. I think Warren [Beatty] was gorgeous, very pretty, but Al's face is like whoa. Killer, killer face."

Diane was in a relationship with Warren Beatty in 1979, around the time they both starred in Reds. Their romance was the talk of the town, but it fizzled out shortly after filming for Reds concluded.

Issues with the production, including financial and scheduling hiccups, are believed to have put a strain on their relationship, but Diane remains pals with the actor.

Following the death of her father, the actress made the bold decision to adopt two children when she was 50. She welcomed her daughter Dexter, now 24, in 1996 and her son Duke, now 18, in 2001. Reflecting on motherhood, she later said it has been "the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had."
