Hollywood star, Nicholas Cage, has gotten married for the fifth time.
The movie star wedded his lover, Riko Shibata in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas on February 16, 2021.
Confirming the news, Cage told E! News, “It’s true, and we are very happy.”
According to E! the couple tied the knot in Sin City’s Wynn Hotel on a date chosen to honour his late father’s birthday.
A representative for the actor told the news outlet that “they exchanged traditional Catholic and Shinto vows with poetry from Walt Whitman and Haiku sprinkled in.”
The groom donned a Tom Ford tux, while his bride wore a handmade Japanese bridal kimono.
Nicholas Cage, 56, met Shibata, 26, who is from Kyoto, in Shiga, Japan, over a year ago, shortly after the dissolution of his fourth marriage and proposed over face time. Back in August, he had announced his engagement but said the coronavirus pandemic prevented him from proposing in person.
The actor was previously married to Erika Koike in March 2019, which only lasted for four days. Before then he was married to Alice Kim for 10 years until they separated in 2016. They share 15-year-old son Kal-El Coppola. E! News reported that both Kim and her son attended Cage‘s wedding.
In 2002 he got married to Marie Presley, the marriage lasted for just over 100 days. In 2001 he ended his six-year marriage to Patricia Arquette.
