Riko Shibata Wiki – Riko Shibata Bio
Riko Shibata is the fifth wife of Nicolas Cage. Riko and Cage’s relationship is the big age difference between the couple. Riko just turned 26 on January 10, 2021. This makes her 31 years younger than her husband, who is 57 years old. This becomes even more interesting when you realize that Cage’s new girlfriend is four years younger than her oldest son, Weston Coppola Cage, who is 30 years old.
According to HollywoodLife, the couple met more than a year ago in Shiga, Japan. The couple was first seen together on a date in New Orleans in February 2020. They were later photographed walking through New York City, holding hands, in March 2020, before the pandemic brought the world to a standstill.
The couple’s relationship became a long-distance relationship during the pandemic as Riko reportedly left for Kyoto, Japan, while Cage remained in Nevada. Cage revealed this while appearing on his brother’s podcast. She said, “She left New York and came back to Kyoto, Japan, and I came back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her in 6 months.”

Riko Shibata & Nicolas Cage
Cage first announced his engagement to Shibata in August on his brother Marc “The Cope” Coppola’s Q104.3 radio show, where he spoke about his non-traditional proposal amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“She left New York and came back to Kyoto, Japan and I came back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her in six months,” Cage said during her appearance on August 24. “We are very happy together and we are very excited to spend that time together, so I finally said, ‘Look, I want to marry you and we got engaged on FaceTime.”
Cage said he mailed Shibata a “black diamond engagement ring”: “His favorite color is black, so he wanted black gold and black diamond. I customized it and sent it to FedEx.”
He continued, “We are engaged, but we don’t have a date because of the world we currently live in. I am hopeful … I would love to have a really beautiful Shinto wedding.”
Cage got her to wish from him. According to Barr, the newlyweds exchanged traditional Shinto and Catholic vows during their intimate ceremony at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. Shibata honored her culture by wearing a handmade Japanese bridal kimono from her native country, while Cage opted for a Tom Ford tux. The wedding ceremony was followed by a small reception attended by Cage’s ex-wife, Alice Kim, and her 15-year-old son, Kal-El. Cage also shares his son Weston, 30, with actress Christina Fulton.
Cage’s rep says the actor “is still very good friends” with Kim.
