How Many Kids Does Nicholas Cage Have and What Do They Do?
Nicholas Cage is one of Hollywood’s most decorated actors who has worked on brilliant projects in the past. Cage’s career was set, especially since he was born into an artistic family, the Coppolas. His father was August Coppola, who happens to be related to the legendary Francis Ford Coppola and several other big names who have worked in the movie industry.
Cage has been in many relationships over the years, including five marriages. His first marriage was to actress Patricia Arquette (1995-2001), followed by a short stint with Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie (2002-04). Then, he married Alice Kim, a waitress who worked in LA. Their marriage lasted for 12 years before ending in 2016.

In 2019, Nicholas Cage married Erika Koike. But after claiming that they were both intoxicated before tying the knot, Cage and Koike had their marriage annulled. And now, the Ghost Rider actor is married to Riko Shibata (via People).
Cage has three children from two of his marriages and a past relationship with Christina Fulton. Let’s dive straight into it!
Weston Cage Coppola
Weston is the eldest son of Nicholas Cage, born to him and actress Christina Fulton in 1990. According to People, Weston was born a day after Christmas and shares a common love for music and acting with his father.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Weston spoke about his upbringing in the industry while being from a family of superstars. He said,
[It] was actually ferocious. I mean, there were times I would communicate with people and realize that they had completely made their own definition about me for themselves, without even getting to know me.
However, he managed to find success at some level. Some of his most recent projects were Boneyard and Crescent City, both released in 2024.
Weston’s past with substance abuse, assault, and DUI charges
Despite being praised by his father, who claimed he was “the total artist” according to People, Weston has had a fair share of ugly moments.

In 2017, Nicholas Cage’s eldest son was taken into police custody for a hit-and-run incident that took place in Los Angeles. Weston was also charged with driving under the influence.
In an interview with People a few years before the incident, Weston opened up about his struggles with substance abuse stating that people were starting to believe he was digging his own grave at some point.

Once again, Weston was arrested for assault in July 2024, after an altercation broke out involving him and Fulton. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities claimed that he injured two individuals at the scene.
Kal-El Coppola
Nicholas Cage’s relationship with Alice Kim lasted for many years and they also shared a child together. Kal-El Coppola was welcomed into the world on October 3, 2005.

According to The Guardian (via People), Cage wasn’t expecting to have a child with Kim, and it was a complete shocker to him. Cage also had a unique way of naming his second-born child.
The name Kal-El was inspired by Superman’s Kryptonian name, which is also Kal-El. It all came into being as Cage was supposed to act as Superman in Tim Burton’s DC project. But it ended up getting canceled.

Much like Weston, Kal-El also followed in his father’s footsteps. He somehow managed to fulfill his father’s wishes to be a part of the DCEU, voicing a young Bruce Wayne in Teen Titans GO! To the Movies (2018).
August Francesca Coppola Cage
Shortly after marrying Riko Shibata, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child (Cage’s third). And on September 7, 2022, August Francesca Coppola Cage was born.

Since he already has two boys who are fully grown adults at this point, having a third child at the age of 58 was exciting in its own way. According to Access Hollywood, Cage said,
My boys are all grown up, and I miss going to the toy store. I miss singing lullabies and rocking in the rocking chair… I’m looking forward to getting back to that.
Nicholas Cage is very excited to experience a child of his growing up again. While speaking to Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he claimed he was excited to be a girl-dad and that fathering August would be his biggest adventure yet.
Nicholas Cage’s Grandchildren
Being the eldest by several years, Weston Cage Coppola is the only one who got married. According to People, his first marriage was with Nikki Williams, a musician from South Africa. However, their split would happen only a year after tying the knot.

Weston’s second marriage was to Danielle Cage. Weston and Danielle welcomed their first child, Lucian in 2014. Two years later, the couple welcomed a second child named Sorin, in 2016.
Unfortunately, Weston and Danielle split shortly after the birth of their second child. He eventually married Hila Cage Coppola in 2018, with whom he shares a set of twin daughters.

However, Weston appreciated how Danielle, his son Lucian, and his father were there by his side throughout his battle with substance abuse. Now, the Cage family is growing, and the future looks bright.
