Quentin Tarantino has a big new project in store.

The Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood director has announced that he is to become a father for the first time!

The 56-year-old got married last year to Israeli singer Daniella Pick after having known one another for a decade.

They first met at the 2009 Jerusalem Film Festival, where Tarantino was screening Inglourious Basterds, but only began dating years later in 2016. They made their union official in a Reform Jewish ceremony in Los Angeles in November 2018.

The newlyweds are currently on the road as Tarantino promotes Hollywood, but released a statement revealing that a third member of their crew was on the way: “Daniella and Quentin Tarantino are very delighted to announce that they are expecting a baby.”

The newborn’s arrival is further indication that the filmmaker, who has stated that he will retire after his 10th film, is heading towards his final feature.
