According toThe U.S. Sun, Shibata is over 30 years younger than her Hollywood husband.
The pair were introduced by mutual friends while Cage was filming “Prisoners of the Ghostland” in Japan.
The connection was pretty much immediate.
“I asked her, ‘Do you have any pets?’
And she said, ‘Yes, I have flying squirrels.’
She had two sugar gliders …
I thought, ‘That’s it.
This, this could work out,'” Cage remembered in a conversation withET.
Considering Shibata’s unique taste in pets, it seems she fits the bill.
If that name sounds suspiciously familiar, it’s because ofNicolas Cage’s impressive family tree.
He’s the nephew of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola.
With Cage and Shibata’s unique relationship, here’s what we know about Cage’s much younger bride.
After living apart for six months, Cage decided to propose to Shibata on a video call.
The actor later shipped a black diamond engagement ring over to his fiancee.
Shibata, of course, wore a black dress.
The actor was previously married to Patricia Arquette from 1995 (the year Shibata was born) until 2001.
He persevered pretty romantic if you ask us.
Their marriage lasted just three months before they decided to separate.
Cage’s fourth marriage to makeup artist Erika Koike lasted for just a few months in 2019.
But I think I got it right this time."
