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."

Might be worth a look. Pretty strange.
All his latest movies are strange lol. And surprisingly, also enjoyable, except the Jiu Jitsu movie that featured no jiu jitsu.
I think she’s holding a hard case crime edition in the top pic, pretty cool.

Peggy Sue Got Married, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas.
Raising Arizona is a classic.
I’m sure this marriage will last, just like all his others.
I would add The Rock and Con Air.
Cage gives himself a do over. Wonder how this kid will turn out.
bttt
Caine was a working class kid who got drafted, spent some time in Korea on the business end of Chinese human wave assaults, survived that, and returned to become one of the unlikeliest actors of his generation. He always said he regarded acting as a job. He was an actor. His job was to act. Big movie, little movie, great movie, dog: he wanted to punch the clock and do a day’s work. He never understood the artistes who would rather sit and gaze at their navels than stay active.
I'll always remember Tony Randall delivering the greatest "straight line" for Jayne Mansfield in all of comedy theater.
He says on an introductory PR phone call:
"I may be the president of Rita Marlowe Productions but Miss Marlowe is the titular head of the company.""Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?"
As usual... She’s fallen in love with his fame and fortune.
"HALF!"
“Drive Angry” is a personal favorite.
Close, it’s Kal-El
Close, it’s Kal-El
Loved all the the Book Of Secrets movies. Wish he would make more.
“Cage had three decent movies, imho. Peggy Sue Got Married, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas”
I loved both Book Of Secrets movies.
Little baby ghost rider.
