CAN'T BE CAGED Nicolas Cage, 57, is expecting a baby with wife Riko Shibata, who is THIRTY years younger than the star

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."

And that hat makes him look like an ‘egghead’. I still like his acting.

She’s 27. Half his age plus 7 is 35. Close enough.

Plus, that’s his problem, not ours.

It is true love. You can tell by her expression.
“Me love your money so much....”

Remember that time that Trump got in trouble for pointing out that when you have lots of money, gold-diggers will line up and let you do whatever to them?

“FWIW, Yesterday Jimmy Page turned 78. He’s celebrating with his 33-year old girlfriend.”


Sounds like the record company executive who married his young secretary. He was 78, she was 33 and 1/3.

Neither Cage or Willis are A-List anymore. But not a surprise as they are old. Only a few action hero actors can pull off aging successfully (Tom Cruise comes to mind).

Willis’s movies have not been great, but not incredibly terrible either; the is still worth about $200M. Not bad at all.

In Cage’s case, he blew somewhere between $100-150M of his fortune. He is down to his last $25M. So he is probably using what is left of his reputation to shore up his retirement nestegg. Of course, marrying again is just asking for trouble, but it’s his life.

This post reminded me that my great grandfather was born 45 years after George Washington died.

Yesterday Jimmy Page turned 78. He's celebrating with his 33-year old girlfriend.

She is a pretty woman, but I think she is contractually obligated to look weird in at least half her pictures, so that the relationship isn't the weirdest thing about her.

Named after Superman's Kryptonian name.

May end up being a good film based on the trailer. I'll see it.

Haven't seen Pig but I've heard it's good.

Why is age a factor?

They’re both capable of having a child together, regardless of the age difference. Obviously God intended it this way, regardless whatever hang-ups the jealous haters have about it.

Also, it sounds like the child will not be wanting in love or financially.

All my best to them.

He’s actually made some B movies that are very well regarded, though also bizarre. He is making good money with these Indy movies. I think one broke all kinds of records. He’s also made trash ones though.
