NICOLAS Cage and fifth wife Riko Shibata have revealed they are expecting a baby.
It will be the Hollywood star's third child after sons Ka-El Coppola, 16, and Weston Coppola, 31, from previous relationships.
"The parents-to-be are elated!" the actor's rep said.
Nicolas, 57, tied the knot with Riko on on February 16, 2021 in a "very small and intimate wedding at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas," according to a rep for Cage.
The date was chosen as it was special to Nic - it was his late father, August Coppola's, birthday.
"It's true, and we are very happy," Nic told PEOPLE in a statement at the time.
Riko is 27, four years younger than Nicolas' eldest son. The pair has not made a statement yet.
NICOLAS AND RIKO'S LOVE The starry-eyed couple met in Shiga, Japan, in 2020 through mutual friends.
The actor was there filming the movie Prisoners of the Ghostland.
They made their magazine cover debut as a couple when they posed for FLAUNT in October 2021.
The next month, the pair walked the red carpet at the 2021 GQ Men of the Year party in West Hollywood, California.
Riko is also an actress, and the pair made their official red carpet debut in July 2021 at the premiere of Cage's film Pig.
Nic announced the engagement on his brother Marc Coppola's radio show in 2020, after Riko had just visited New York with him.
“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.
“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."

My faorite quote's from the article,
"“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."
“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."
Sounds like a really close relationship with all that "FaceTime" and everything.
I think Cage’s previous wife lasted a whole weekend, or close to it.
he looks like shit for 57
4 days. This is wife number 4 I think.
5th time is a charm, hopefully.
It's a good deal for the women as well.
How many times has Nick Cage been married?
Wow! Can’t believe he’s 57. Seems like he just came out with his first movie the other day.
Beautiful wife.
Five.
Just read that.
He’s been in THE most terrible movies in the last few years. Just like Bruce Willis.....they’ve peaked big time and now are taking any role that fronts money....
Ricola!
Yeah, but he was a really cute baby.
Dude is 58... January 7th 1964
At this rate, his next wife will be 12!
Dude just turned 58
“Men who are wealthy and successful will forever have young women throwing themselves at them.”
I’ll put an asterisk on that. Wealthy, successful and *famous.* Ask the nerds in Silicon Valley. Many are wealthy and successful but they’re relatively anonymous, so they certainly don’t have women, young or old, throwing themselves at them. The wealth and success only go so far if they’re secret or semi-secret.
Although I don't predict a similar trajectory, I remember Michael Caine in the 1980s did the same thing. Lots of terrible movies. Made a lot of money, though. Seems like Caine felt he'd peaked big time and was taking any role that fronted money....
But Caine got older and found much better roles. His late career is a study in excellence. Cage and Willis probably won't be as lucky, but you never know.
