Pulp Fiction director, Quentin Tarantino recently welcomed his second child with his wife of three years, Daniella Pick. The news surprised many fans who didn't even know he was married. Here's everything you should know about the controversial filmmaker's wife and kids.
Who Is Quentin Tarantino's Wife & What Does She Do?
Pick is an Israeli singer, model, and TV personality. She comes from a well-known family of musicians, prompting her to enter the industry at an early age alongside her sister, Sharona Pick. Her father, Svika Pick is a singer while her mother, Mirit Shem-Or is a songwriter. Aside from music, Tarantino's wife has also forayed into acting. According to IMDb, she played Daphna Ben-Cobo in her husband's very own Oscar-winning movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She also appeared in reality series like Big Brother VIP and Goalstar.
As a star in her own right, the 38-year-old has amassed a net worth of $4 million according to Idol Net Worth. Aside from working as a singer, model, and influencer, Pick also considers her part in Tarantino's filmmaking process as another full-time job. "When Quentin shoots a movie, it's a big deal," she revealed. "Obviously, I take an active part in it, and [it influences] all the atmosphere at home."
She continued: "It's a very intensive half a year and every day is very important. It's like being with someone who is training for the Olympics, or as Quentin always says, it's like climbing Everest. Quentin is a champion at that. He is so charming, caring and professional. He makes everyone feel great on the set. It made me feel really proud to see that."
How Did Quentin Tarantino Meet His Wife Daniella Pick?
Tarantino met his future wife in 2009 when he was promoting Inglorious Basterds in Israel. They began dating soon after but the relationship didn't last long. Seven years later, the couple gave their romance a second try. In 2017, the True Romance creator proposed to the singer. They had an engagement party in New York attended by celebrities he's worked with like Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, and Diane Kruger. Actor Harvey Keitel even joked: "When you make a movie like Inglourious Basterds, not only did you get an Oscar but you got Daniella."
In 2018, the two tied the knot in an intimate ceremony with only 20 guests. They welcomed their first child, a son named Leo, two years later. "Daniella and Quentin Tarantino are happy to announce the birth of their first child," Tarantino's rep announced at the time. "A baby boy born February 22, 2020." Two years later, on July 2, 2022, Pick gave birth to a baby girl. "Daniella and Quentin Tarantino are happy to announce that Daniella gave birth to their baby girl on July 2, 2022," the couple said in a joint statement for People, "a little sister to Leo, their first child."
Inside Quentin Tarantino And Daniella Pick's Family Life
Despite Tarantino's estimated $120 million fortune, Pick said that they live a "modest" life as a family. "We are very family-oriented, we love to be at home, to go out to dinner [and] to watch movies, both at home and at theaters," she shared. "Aside from that, I love to cook and invite friends over, and I also cook every day. Quentin really loves my cooking and I make things that I know from home and also new things, I love the kitchen." She added that they "spend a lot of time during the day together, laughing, talking."
"He's a gentleman, romantic, funny and a hunk... He's a genius and an incredible husband," Pick said of the Oscar winner. For the last couple of years, the two lived in Israel, away from the limelight. "The idea was that we would spend like three to four months in Tel Aviv and three to four months in Los Angeles and then COVID hit," Tarantino told Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2021. "So three to four months became nine to 12 months."
