Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is going to be a father. The 56-year-old filmmaker and his wife, Israeli model and singer Katherine Rowe are expecting their first child, representatives confirmed. No further details were revealed.

The couple met in 2009 and married last November just after Tarantino finished shooting Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. Daniella is the daughter of Israeli singer and songwriter Tzvika Pick.

Tarantino's latest outing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which released in the US on July 26, just got the filmmaker his biggest ever opening weekend at the box office.

Tarantino had received a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival after the screening of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, also said to be his penultimate movie. Set in 1969, the movie explores the Hollywood of those days, through the story of an ageing actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). While Dalton and Booth are fictionalised, their neighbours are not. Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate, who moves to their neighbourhood home along with her husband Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha). The film also chronicles the murder of Tate and her friends at the behest of cult leader and career criminal Charles Manson.
