This will be the third child for Cage, who turned 58 on Friday, People reported. He is also the father to Kal-El Cage, 16, and Weston Coppola Cage, 31, from previous relationships, according to Entertainment Tonight.

It will be the first child for Shibata, 26.

The actor, who won an Academy Award for best actor in the 1995 movie, “Leaving Las Vegas,” married Shibata on Feb. 16, 2021, in Las Vegas, People reported.

This is Cage’s fifth marriage. He annulled his fourth marriage, to American makeup artist Erika Koike, after four days in 2019, CNN reported.

According to the magazine, the couple met in Shiga, Japan, while Cage was filming the 2021 movie “Prisoners of the Ghostland.”

Cage announced his engagement to Shibata in August 2020, saying the couple agreed to marry over FaceTime after six months apart, Entertainment Tonight reported.

“We were really happy together and we were really excited to spend that time together so I finally just said, ‘Look, I wanna marry you,’ and we got engaged on FaceTime,” Cage said on a radio show hosted by his brother, Marc Coppola, in August 2020.
