Quentin Tarantino welcomes first ever child at the age of 56

Quentin Tarantino has become a father for the first time after his wife gave birth to a son in Tel-Aviv on Saturday.

The 56-year-old Hollywood director has been married to 36-year-old Daniella Pick since 2018 - and they are said to be thrilled by the arrival of their little bundle of joy.

Quentin and Daniella - who is the daughter of 70-year-old Israeli pop singer Svika Pick - announced they were expecting their child back in August last year.

A representative for the couple has confirmed that they welcomed their first child - with both mum and dad becoming parents for the first time.

“Daniella and Quentin Tarantino are happy to announce the birth of their first child. A baby boy born February 22, 2020,” the rep told TMZ.

With their baby arriving in Tel-Aviv, the new member of the Tarantino family will be half-Israeli “by birthright,” TMZ states.

Daniella - a singer and model - is from the Middle Eastern nation, with TMZ speculating she and Quentin travelled to the Mediterranean sea based country specifically for the birth.

Quentin and Daniella met in 2009 while the movie maker was promoting his World War II drama Inglourious Basterds.

Last month, Quentin hinted he will step away from making movies to focus on his new role as a father.

"I kind of feel this is the time for the third act (of my life) to just lean a little bit more into the literary, which would be good as a new father, as a new husband,” he told ABC News.

"I wouldn't be grabbing my family and yanking them to Germany or Sri Lanka or wherever the next story takes place. I can be a little bit more of a homebody and become a little bit more of a man of letters,” he added.
