Who is Beverly D'Angelo Married to?
Beverly D'Angelo was formerly married to the actor Don Lorenzo Salviati from Italy. The wedding took place on September 8, 1981. They had been married for a few years when they finally decided to divorce each other. The pair don't have any kids together. On November 5, 1995, their divorce was finalized.
When asked about her unsuccessful marriage, D'Angelo once said, "When I was married to Larry, I kept thinking, 'This is a poor marriage, but it would make a beautiful mini-series.'"
D'Angelo started a relationship with Anton Furst, a production designer who had won an Academy Award after she ended her relationship with Lorenzo. When Anton took his own life in 1991, their relationship ended.
Beverly's long-term relationship with the actor Al Pacino lasted from 1996 until 2003. The couple welcomed twins on January 25, 2001; their names are Olivia Pacino and Anton James Pacino.

The Custody Battle Between Beverly D'Angelo And Al Pacino
A representative for Beverly D'Angelo has stated that Al Pacino is "a domineering, pestering man who has never changed a single diaper." The camp of Pacino disputed the claim that D'Angelo held their children as hostages in exchange for additional financial compensation. At the time, D'Angelo yearned to relocate back to Los Angeles, but she was instead residing in Manhattan with her children in an apartment that Pacino rented for $18,000 monthly.
According to the Pacino attorney, Martin Wasser, the actor paid $35,000 to four nannies and other costs associated with their children's requirements and well-being. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, "Beverley continues to use the children in a manner that essentially turns them into hostages. We have a running joke that we are dealing with a corporation that rents out babies. Al wants to spend additional time with the kids, but she wants to be paid more per hour of that time," Wasser said.
An associate of D'Angelo's pointed out that the actress is delighted to have Pacino spend time with their children. As per News Amomama, the exes matured sixteen years later and reestablished their friendship.
