Quentin Tarantino, 59, gives rare update on being dad to two little ones

Quentin Tarantino is loving the dad life.

The legendary movie director, 59, gushed exclusively to Page Six about his two little ones while on Tuesday’s Golden Globes 2023 red carpet.

“Good! Good!” he said with a big smile when asked what it’s been like raising his son, Leo, almost 3, and his 6-month-old daughter, whose name has not yet been revealed.

Tarantino — who wore a sleek, all-black suit for the evening — was joined by wife Daniella Pick, who was in a plunging gold gown that fit her like a glove.

The Israeli model and singer, 39, styled her dark locks in loose waves and posed for pictures with her husband of four years.

Once inside the ballroom, the duo was seen congratulating Austin Butler after the actor snagged the prize of Best Actor for “Elvis.”

“You killed it on ‘Saturday Night Live!'” we overheard Tarantino say, referring to the 31-year-old’s recent hosting gig on the NBC comedy show.

Tarantino and Pick — who currently live in Tel Avivwelcomed their baby girl in July 2022.

Though they haven’t revealed their daughter’s name, the filmmaker admitted to Jimmy Kimmel that they “almost” chose a different moniker for their baby boy, who arrived in February 2020.

“People would assume that I named him after Leonardo DiCaprio,” Tarantino explained during a June 2021 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“There’s nothing wrong with that, but I didn’t,” he continued. “He’s named after my wife’s grandfather, but also because, just in our hearts, he was our little lion.”

The following month, the screenwriter got emotional while describing his experience with fatherhood, saying on “CBS This Morning” in July 2021, “I can’t even see his name written on a piece of paper without crying.”

Tarantino went on to call Leo “the most charming human being” he’d ever met.

“Half the time, I look at him and I’m just laughing because he’s so funny,” he said. “And the other time, I’m just bursting into tears.”

The Tennessee native made sure to note that his devotion to his family had not “taken anything away” from his career.

In fact, he said at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival that marrying Pick made him “take stock” of his life and look at it “from a new angle.”

“I’ve never [gotten married] before, and now I know why,” he explained at the time. “I was waiting for the perfect girl.”

The couple met in Israel in 2009 when Tarantino was promoting “Inglourious Basterds.”

They got engaged in 2017.
