Beverly D'Angelo is reflecting on her "unique" relationship with Al Pacino. The "Christmas Vacation" star took to her Instagram Monday to share an inside look of her and the "Scent of a Woman" actor’s intimate moments, including rare photos of their twin children.  "My story with Al began 27 years ago, two artists meeting, falling in love.

We lived together for seven years, had two children, broke up, but continued steadily on our journey as co parents – and came to share our lives with a deeper kind of intimacy, honesty and acceptance than a ‘traditional’ relationship would have allowed, (for us at least)," D’Angelo wrote on her social media caption.

The 71-year-old actress continued to reminisce on her and Pacino’s love and said in 1997 he told her, "I want you to be the mother of my children."           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Beverly D'Angelo (@officialbeverlydangelo) Although D’Angelo pointed out that she "avoided" playing the "role" of mother her whole life, she said she was "deeply in love" with Pacino and was "one hundred percent in."
