Nicolas Cage is the doting dad of three children.
Cage became a father for the first time in December 1990 when the actor welcomed son Weston with ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton. After Weston’s birth, Cage and Fulton were no longer romantically involved. Cage moved on with Patricia Arquette whom he was married to from 1995 to 2001 and the late Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004.
After his respective splits from Arquette and Presley, the National Treasure star became a dad again when he welcomed son Kal-El with his third wife, Alice Kim, in 2005. Kim and Cage tied the knot in 2004 after two months of dating. In 2016, they divorced after 12 years of marriage.
Five years later, Cage found love again with current wife Riko Shibata. The couple wed in February 2021. Us Weekly confirmed in September 2022 that Shibata and Cage had welcomed a daughter, August.
The Coppola family has long been Hollywood royalty — and their generation-spanning talent means that’s not likely to change soon. The famous lineage began with Carmine Coppola, who was an orchestra conductor and Oscar-winning film composer. Carmine and his wife, Italia Pennino, shared three children: August Floyd Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola and Talia Shire. All […]
“Nicolas and Riko are happy to announce the birth of their daughter,” the pair said in a statement at the time. “Mother and daughter are doing fine.”
In July 2024, Cage opened up about being a dad and how he never expected to share his children with three different women.
“They’re all different experiences,” Cage said of his bond with his little ones to The New Yorker. “Each one has a different mother. It’s not what I had originally thought would happen when I fell in love or got married — that I would have three different children with three different moms — but nonetheless that’s what’s happened. So every child is different. There’s a different kind of level of attention.”
