NICOLAS CAGE CONFIRMED THE PREGNANCY NEWS
A representative for the couple confirmed the news to People magazine and added: “The parents-to-be are elated!”
Cage, 57, tied the knot with Shibata during a “very small and intimate wedding at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas” on 16 February last year.
“It’s true, and we are very happy,” said the film icon
According to a state of Nevada marriage certificate, Shibata has taken Cage’s surname, and the document also stated the couple applied for their wedding license on 10 January which was the same day as Shibata’s 26th birthday.
NICOLAS CAGE HAS ‘A LOT IN COMMON’ WITH RIKO SHIBATA
Meanwhile, Cage recently said he first realised he had “a lot in common” with Shibata when they were discussing their shared love of animals.
Shibata told Cage she had two pet sugar gliders – which are also known as flying squirrels – and the National Treasure actor knew there would be sparks between them.
“We met in Japan and I thought she was stunning when I met her. We had a lot in common. She likes animals, too, so I asked her, ‘Do you have any pets?’ And she said, ‘Yes, I have flying squirrels.’ She had two sugar gliders … I thought, ‘That’s it. This this could work out,’” he explained.
NICOLAS CAGE’S FACETIME ENGAGEMENT WITH RIKO SHIBATA
Cage and Shibata were first spotted together in February 2020, and the actor confirmed in August that year he was engaged.
“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,” he said at the time.
“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.”
“I got her a black diamond engagement ring. Her favourite colour is black, so she wanted the black gold, and the black diamond. I customised and personalised it and I actually sent it to her FedEx.”
Their marriage is the first for Shibata but the fifth for Cage, who has previously been married to Patricia Arquette, Lisa Marie Presley, Alice Kim, and Erika Koike.
