The press learned about the collapse of Cage's third marriage on June 24. And in the evening of the same day, visitors to the Japanese restaurant Asanebo in Las Vegas were surprised to observe the 52-year-old actor on a date with an unidentified oriental young lady in a kimono. There could be no doubt that this was a date: Nicholas continually hugged and kissed his companion, a satisfied smile never leaving her lips. The next day, the couple attended a show by comedian Carrot Top in one of the entertainment centers in Vegas. Judging by the fact that Nicholas's friend was wearing the same kimono for the second day in a row, she did not spend the night at home. The actor was cheerful, cheerful and did not look like a man who was facing a divorce. If someone decided to reproach him for frivolity, Nicholas could answer that he was just following the example of his wife, who did not wait for a divorce to re-arrange her personal life.
Horns and legs
Immediately after the announcement of the breakup, information appeared in some publications that the marriage fell apart due to the betrayal of 32-year-old Alice Kim. Cage's wife has long stopped accompanying her husband to filming, preferring exotic locations family home in the town of Summerlee, located half an hour from Las Vegas. Several years ago, Nicholas moved there with his family to shake off the dust of the “abnormal” Hollywood life, in his words, and feel an ordinary person. But ordinary people don’t drag their entire family to work, and it seemed logical to Nicholas that Alice would stay at home to look after her 10-year-old son, Kal-El, who was tied to school.
In May, at the Cannes Film Festival, a certain acquaintance reported to the actor that, while passing through Summerlee, he met Mrs. Cage on the street with another man. “She doesn’t hide her boyfriend,” said the family’s neighbors. – The guy hangs around Alice all the time when her husband is on business trips. Someone even saw them kissing.”
To this, the actor’s press service stated that the couple have not lived together since January, so Alice has the right to spend time with anyone. Perhaps Nicholas simply did not want to admit that he was taught beautiful branchy antlers, although his friends tend to believe this to be true. In their opinion, in winter and spring Nicholas behaved even more strangely than usual, as if he was letting off steam from some personal experiences. For example, in April he got into a fight in Las Vegas with Motley Crue leader Vince Neil. Vince pulled the annoying autograph hunter away from Nicholas, and Nicholas suddenly rushed to defend her and almost strangled the well-deserved rocker.
A little later, there was a rumor that the actor refused to continue filming the film “Southern Fury” until the site was cleared of evil spirits. Since Cage began to play tricks before his eyes were opened to his wife’s behavior, we can assume that he was aware even without the Cannes gossips. However, even if Alice really destroyed the family, she also has arguments in her defense.
Free woman of the East
Nicholas met Korean Alice Kim in the spring of 2004 at the Los Angeles club Le Prive. She worked there as a waitress: an eastern woman of a new breed, Alice wanted to earn money, instead of hanging on the neck of her wealthy parents while waiting for her husband.
Nicholas found it all delightful. After two marriages to show business representatives Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley, the actor desperately yearned for a simpler relationship. Alice was ideal: 20 years younger, pretty, not spoiled by an artistic temperament and, most importantly, brought up in a culture where the primacy of men was not questioned. They got married two months after they met. Nicholas had to leave for filming, he did not want to part with his beloved, and could only take her with him as his legal wife.
“I deliberately sought out a woman from outside my environment,” Cage said. “Alice showed me the East, which I fell in love with as much as I fell in love with her.” In my wife’s family, my Korean name is Sang In Lo (“son-in-law” in English). Alice’s family used to think of it as my name.”
Miss Kim pulled out a lucky ticket only for the first four and a half years of marriage. In 2009, Nicholas, a gigantic shopaholic who bought palaces and yachts in bulk, began having money problems. Over the next two years, the actor, in demand and very rich at the time of his wedding to Alice, sold almost all of his real estate and collections, destroyed his reputation by starring in second-rate films, fell into depression and started drinking.
Alice patiently carried her husband on her fragile shoulders from drinking establishments across America, until in April 2011, distraught from drinking, Nicholas attacked his wife on the street in New Orleans. For educational purposes, she allowed him to spend the night at the police station, but refused to press charges.
In addition to Nicholas's drinking, depression and outbursts of anger, the long-suffering Alice was worried that, despite all the debts on taxes and loans, he continued to spend money on various curiosities from increasingly dubious sources. Last December, the actor had to return a Tyrannosaurus rex skull worth $276,000 to Mongolia, which turned out to be stolen. Of course, no one compensated him for his expenses. It was not difficult to calculate that with such “reliable” investments, Cage would leave only debts as an inheritance to his sons, the eldest of whom, 25-year-old Weston, himself already the father of two children. Apparently, Alice decided that the only way to ensure the future of her and Nikolas’ son was to divorce his father and take away half of the remaining money before Nikolas let Kal-El’s portion of the inheritance go down the drain.
Nicolas Cage, who was grieving the collapse of his 11-year marriage with Alice Kim, decided two years later to try to build a new relationship...
On a date
On Monday evening, the ubiquitous paparazzi captured 54-year-old Nicolas Cage in the company of a young girl who looked similar to his ex-wife Alice Kim.
Journalists found out that the beauty who managed to turn the Oscar winner's head is Erika Koike. The occupation of the actor’s beloved is unknown.
The couple was heading to dinner at a Los Angeles restaurant and clearly did not hide from public attention, wearing colorful ensembles.
Glamorous couple

Let us remember that in 2004, Cage met his third wife, Alice Kim, who was 19 years old and worked as a waitress at that time. The couple had a son, Kal-El, who is now 12 years old. In 2016, the actor confirmed to the media that he and his wife no longer live together. According to rumors, Alice cheated on her star husband more than once, which was the reason for their separation.
Nicolas Cage's real name is Coppola and the famous director Francis Ford Coppola is none other than the actor's uncle. To distance himself from his fame, Nicholas took on a pseudonym as soon as he began his acting career.
Cage is an actor with a large filmography, famous for his work with outstanding directors on the most interesting film projects of our time, he is the winner of an Oscar and many other prestigious film awards. However, he has another reputation - an eccentric, a man constantly haunted by financial difficulties, litigation, problems with ex-wives, and, more recently, poor choice of roles.
Problems with women always haunted Cage. In 1987, he met actress Patricia Arquette and within three hours of meeting, he proposed to the girl. She agreed, but just before the wedding she ran away. A year later, after an affair with another actress Christina Fulton, the actor had a son, Weston. 1996 was a triumphant year for Cage - he won an Oscar for the film Leaving Las Vegas and met Patricia Arquette again.
And he proposed to her for the second time. She agreed again, but this time she did not run away and became the legal wife of Nicolas Cage and even lived in marriage with him for 6 years. All this time they lived in different houses, made loud scenes in front of everyone and generally gave the impression of an odd couple.
After his divorce from Patricia Cage, he connected his life with Lisa Marie Presley, who was not only the daughter of pop idol Elvis Presley, but also ex-wife Michael Jackson himself. The couple lived in an official marriage for only 109 days before breaking up forever.
Since 2004, Cage has been married to a simple waitress, Ellis Kim, who gave birth to the actor’s second son named Kal-El.
This year, alas, turned out to be rich in celebrity divorces. So Nicolas Cage was included in the list of the most talked about people due to his separation from his wife Alice Kim after 11 years of marriage. We decided to recall all the most striking novels of the actor.
Elizabeth Daly - 1983
Nicholas was only 19 years old when he met Elizabeth on the set of his first successful film, Valley Girl. It turned out that they had once attended the same school, but Daly (she then bore the last name Guttman) was three grades older. In the film, Cage played the main male role, and after filming he was increasingly seen not with his co-star Deborah Foreman, but with Daly. However, their romance can only be called official. After the film was released, Nicholas became so popular that even his star uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, noticed him. Roles fell on the actor; he forgot about his colleague in “Valley”.
Jenny Wright - 1985-1986
Jenny Wright
Jenny and Nicholas collided at one of the castings, and then both could not remember which one. The actress was only two years older than her lover, but Cage’s friends kept asking him: “Why do you need this aunt?” At some point, because of these not very smart conversations, 21-year-old Nicholas even stopped communicating with his company; he spent all his evenings only with Jenny. At the beginning of 1986, the couple announced their engagement and began preparations for the wedding. Invitations had already been sent out, but a month before the ceremony, the guests received notifications by mail that the wedding would not take place. They say that Jenny caught Nicholas cheating, but both remain silent to this day about the true reasons for their separation. Wright, by the way, even had depression due to the cancellation of the wedding. The actress never married and has no children.
Brooke Shields - 1987
Brooke Shields
The public had no idea that Brooke and Nicholas had any kind of romantic relationship until they appeared arm in arm at the social premiere of the film Moonstruck in 1987. The couple posed for photographers, hugged, kissed and showed their love to the public in every possible way. It was a sensation, because Brooke was already very famous model. The best magazines in the world fought for the right to put her on the cover, and her earnings were almost $20 thousand a day! According to rumors, this relationship was ruined by Shields’ workload and the wild jealousy of Cage, who suspected her of having relationships with other men. In 1988, the stars announced their separation.
Christina Fulton - 1988-1991
Christina Fulton
Everything was leading to the fact that Cage’s next passion, Christina Fulton, would become his first legal wife. They first began to be noticed together in 1988, some time after the actor broke up with Brooke Shields. Then Fulton moved into Cage’s bachelor apartment and furnished it. And in December 1990, the couple had a son, Weston. Motherhood has changed Christina a lot. She began to demand from Nicholas that he be at home more often, but he, busy with his career, was physically unable to do this. As a result, they broke up. Cage, in addition to basic alimony, paid his son and his mother $3 million a year. But it seemed to the actress that this was not enough. She once sued her former lover, demanding that she also be given possession of the house that Cage bought when Weston was born. The court, taking into account the huge alimony payments, did not satisfy the actress’s wishes. But for the sake of their son, the actors maintained appearances good relations. And in 1998 they even played in the same film - “Snake Eyes”. Two years ago, they finally reconciled in honor of the birth of their grandson, Lucian Augustus Coppola Cage.
Kristen Zang - 1992-1994
Kristen Zang
Another model on Cage's love list is Kristen Zang. The relationship between the stars lasted two whole years, it was like a fairy tale. They met at one of the social events, a spark appeared between them, and since then they have not parted. Nicholas proposed to Kristen in a chic restaurant, kneeling in front of the public. He took out a box with a ring from the inside pocket of his jacket and said: “Will you become my wife?” Zang said, “Yes!” And everything would have been wonderful if, shortly before the wedding, Cage had not met his longtime lover... He told her over the phone that the actor had decided to break up with Zang. The 19-year-old model was shocked, but very quickly calmed down and found herself a new lover.
Patricia Arquette - 1994-2001
Cage met his future wife Patricia back in 1987. He fell in love with her so much that he proposed marriage five hours after their first meeting. The girl thought that the actor was joking and gave him a whole list of what he would need to do in order to become her husband. For example, get a black orchid and the autograph of the writer Salinger, who, as you know, lived as a recluse and did not let anyone near him. When Cage fulfilled all the wishes of the actress, she was afraid of such pressure and asked not to bother her anymore. And eight years later, when Nicholas was just preparing for his wedding with Zang, she suddenly called him and asked: “Do you still want to marry me?” So, in 1995, Cage got married for the first time. The marriage lasted six whole years, although they claim that this is the official figure, but in fact the couple lived together for only nine months.
Lisa Marie Presley - 2002-2004
Lisa Marie Presley
They say that Nicolas Cage was in love not so much with Lisa Marie herself, but with her father, Elvis Presley. The actor has never hidden the fact that he is a fan of the famous singer. Lisa Marie and Nicholas met in 2001. At that time, Cage had already received an official divorce from Arquette, and their son Weston was already 10 years old. Presley was married twice and had two children. But it didn’t work out here either. Their marriage lasted only 109 days. “We both love to dramatize,” said Lisa Marie. “We were tossed from mad passion to mad hatred.” The couple could not survive such intense emotions and divorced. Interestingly, the divorce procedure lasted longer than the stars’ marriage itself.
Alice Kim Cage - 2004-2016
Alice Kim Cage
After a series of high-profile romances, Nicolas Cage did not appear in public with women for some time. Apparently, numerous relationships have exhausted him. The actor’s friends even began to worry that he would start drinking or something worse. But Cage surprised everyone. Nicholas is very fond of Japanese cuisine, one fine day the paparazzi captured him on a date with a young Korean waitress from the sushi bar where the actor loved to dine. No one took this novel seriously, because Alice could not be compared with any of the star ladies listed above! At the end of 2005, the couple had a son, who was named Kal-El. 10 years have passed since that moment, and the Cage family has secured the title of one of the most exemplary. They were always together, even on the set of films, if they were not in the USA. It was all the more surprising for Nicholas’s fans to learn that he had filed for divorce. Secular gossips say the reason for the divorce is that Cage is tired of his wife’s endless infidelities! Divorce proceedings It's just getting started, but the 52-year-old actor has already found himself a new girlfriend. No one knows her name, but from the photographs it is clear that she is a young girl of Asian appearance. Most likely, she is from Japan, since on the date the girl was wearing a traditional kimono with a complex hairstyle typical of geishas.
