Nicolas Cage, 57, started his fifth marriage in February 2021, marrying his Japanese girlfriend Shibata Riko, who is 31 years younger than him. The two held a "small but exquisite" wedding at a Las Vegas hotel in February last year, and Cage also took the initiative to reveal his Nevada marriage license. Recently, there is good news that Cage will become a father for the third time, but the expected date and gender of the child have not yet been announced.
As early as the beginning of 2020, Nicolas Cage's relationship with Shibata Riko was exposed. At that time, many fans were not optimistic about this relationship. Moreover, she looks very petite and was once considered an underage girl.
Nicolas Cage revealed in an interview that the two got engaged online in August 2020. At that time, Shibata Riko was in Japan and Nicholas was in the United States. Due to the epidemic, the young couple was separated for nearly 6 months. This also made him realize his love for Shibata Riko more deeply.
Shibata Riko was born in Kyoto, Japan, and is an artist under the small Japanese firm Picaro Enterprise. She has only been in the industry for 3 or 4 years.
Shibata Riko is Nicolas Cage's fifth wife. Not only do the two have an age difference of up to 31 years, but the 26-year-old Shibata Riko is even 4 years younger than Cage's eldest son, Weston Cage.
Nicolas Cage married his first wife Patricia Arquette in April 1995 and divorced in May 2001. In August 2002, Nicolas Cage married Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis, and their marriage lasted only 4 months. He married his third wife, Alice King, in July 2004, and they divorced in 2016. The wife of Cage's fourth marriage is Erika Koike, a Japanese makeup artist. The two applied for a marriage license on March 23, 2019, and then on the fourth day of their marriage, Cage decided to submit an application to the Los Angeles court to end the marriage. He is now expecting his third child with his fifth wife.
