Nicolas Cage married his USA Today girlfriend Riko Shibata, confirmed on Friday.
The actor, 57, married Shibata, 26, in Las Vegas on February 16.
Cage told USA Today in a statement that “it is true and we are very happy”.
Shibata also adopted her new husband’s name, according to her Nevada marriage license, which she lists as Riko Cage.
The couple got engaged in August on a video call, Cage told Marc Coppola on his radio show Q104.3, because they were separated due to the coronavirus pandemic. Cage then sent her a black diamond engagement ring in the mail.
“She left New York and went back to Kyoto, Japan, and I went back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her in six months,” said Cage on the program. “We are very happy together and very excited to spend this time together, so I finally said, ‘Look, I want to marry you’, and we got engaged on FaceTime.”
Cage’s marriage to Shibata means his fifth marriage. He was previously married to actress Patricia Arquette between 1995 and 2001, and later to Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004.
His ex-wife Alice Kim, with whom he shares his 15-year-old son Kal-El, attended the ceremony because the two are still good friends, a representative told USA Today.
Cage’s fourth marriage did not end so successfully – he asked for the annulment of makeup artist Erika Koike in 2019 after four days. She ended up suing him for marital support.
