LOS ANGELES — Quentin Tarantino is going to be telling a whole new brand of “Once upon a time” tale – the bedtime-story kind.

The "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood" director is about to become a father.

His representative, Katherine Rowe, says Tarantino and his wife, Israeli model and singer Daniella Pick, are expecting a baby. No further details were released.

The couple met in 2009 and married last November just after Tarantino finished shooting “Once Upon a Time,” the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt that became a summer hit.

It’s the first child for the 56-year-old Tarantino, who also directed “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs,” and 35-year-old Pick, who is the daughter of singer-songwriter Svika Pick.

The baby news marks a massive shift in priorities compared to 2009, when Tarantino talked about the subject of marriagewith GQ, explaining his dedication to filmmaking left no time for "mundane things" like "family."

"When I'm doing a movie, I'm not doing anything else," he said at the time. "It's all about the movie. I don't have a wife. I don't have a kid. Nothing can get in my way. The whole (expletive) world can go to hell and burst into flames. I don't care. This is my life."

He continued: "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."
