Quentin Tarantino Is Engaged! ‘The Hateful Eight’ Director To Marry Israeli Singer Daniella Pick

Quentin Tarantino is off the market!

The 54-year-old two-time Oscar winner is engaged to his Israeli girlfriend Daniella Pick. According to Israeli news site Walla!, Tarantino proposed to 33-year-old singer-model Pick in Los Angeles on Friday night. “It’s true, we’re very happy and very excited,” Ynetnews quoted Pick as saying.

Pick’s dad also confirmed the engagement. “Yes, there is joy in our family. They got engaged yesterday. We wished them Mazel Tov,” Svika Pick, a veteran pop singer and composer in Israel, said.

While Tarantino has yet to personally address the news, New Beverly Cinema — the Los Angeles theater he owns — retweeted The Times of Israel’s social media post announcing the engagement.

Tarantino and Pick first met in 2009 when the filmmaker was in Israel to promote his war film “Inglorious Basterds.” They dated that year but eventually broke up. According to the Los Angeles Times, Tarantino and Pick reconnected sometime last year and were later spotted together in Tel Aviv in January. Prior to rekindling his romance with Pick, Tarantino was in a relationship with “The Hateful Eight” costume designer Courtney Hoffman.

This would be the first marriage for Pick and for Quentin, who told GQ magazine in 2009, “I’m not saying that I’ll never get married or have a kid before I’m 60. But I’ve made a choice, so far, to go on this road alone. Because this is my time. This is my time to make movies.”

While it looks like Tarantino isn’t working on any big screen projects as of the moment, the documentary “What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael,” in which he participated in is expected to be released sometime this year.

“Kill Bill Vol. 3” is also lined up as one of his future projects, but because the movie doesn’t have a release date yet, it’s unclear whether Tarantino is already hard at work on the movie. In an interview, Tarantino said that his plan for the third installment of the “Kill Bill” series has always been to pick it up in real time. However many years have gone by in real time is how many will have passed in the film world as well. So the longer Tarantino takes to get back to the film, the longer Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo will live in peace.

“I put the character Beatrix Kiddo through a lot, and so I wanted her to have this much time for peace. I wanted her to have some time with her daughter and not have to be in the genre machine,” Tarantino said.
