Congratulations! Nicolas Cage marries for the fifth time, ties the knot with Riko Shibata

Nicolas Cage has tied the knot for the fifth time. His marriage to girlfriend Riko Shibata was confirmed by an American online portal. The 57-year-old actor married Riko, 26 in Las Vegas on February 16. In a statement, Nicolas told the portal that “it’s true and we are very happy.”

As per reports and their Nevada marriage license, Riko has taken her new husband’s name and now is Riko Cage. The couple had got engaged in August on a video call as they were separated due to the coronavirus pandemic. The actor later sent her a black diamond engagement ring in the post.

On Marc Coppola’s radio show Q104.3 Cage spoke about the long-distance proposal and said, “She left New York and went back to Kyoto, Japan, and I went back to Nevada and I haven't seen her for six months. We're really happy together and we're really excited to spend that time together, so I finally just said, 'Look, I wanna marry you,' and we got engaged on FaceTime."

Cage and Riko’s marriage was attended by his third ex-wife Alice Kim, with whom he shares his 15-year-old son Kal-El. Cage was earlier married to actress Patricia Arquette between 1995 and 2001, and then Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004. Cage's fourth marriage didn't end so successfully - he filed for an annulment from makeup artist Erika Koike in 2019 after four days. She ended up suing him for spousal support.
