Nicolas Cage Updates: Nicolas Cage’s marriage is no longer beneath the radar, to say the least. In February, the 57-year-old actor married 26-year-old Riko Shibata in Vegas, and the couple has now featured on their first magazine cover together, eight months later! The couple was featured in Flaunt magazine’s “The Magic Issue,” which was released online on Thursday, October 21.

Nicolas and Riko nestled up to each other on the cover and put their complete bodies on display for the charming photoshoot.

Nicolas wore a black Tom Ford blazer and a William Henry bracelet for the photo. Meanwhile, Riko matched her husband perfectly in a gorgeous black Tom Ford gown.

The couple wrapped their arms around each other for the cover photo while looking incredibly serious for the cameras. In a different photo, the couple sat side by side, exhibiting no affection but maintaining the same reserved expressions.

The Oscar winner discussed the session with the journal, which took place a few weeks previously and was directed by photographer Noah Dillon. Nicolas explained, “We were out there doing our thing.” “We did something historic by photography in 117°F temperatures and built sandcastles.” “I don’t think that’s been done before,” he says with a twinkle. And Riko was ecstatic!”

Nicolas and Riko met in Japan in early 2020 and were later seen spending time together in New York City before the COVID lockdown limitations were implemented. Riko returned to Japan, and the two remained close despite the distance.

On February 16, they married in Las Vegas. Nicolas married for the sixth time, following Patricia Arquette, Lisa Marie Presley, Alice Kim, and Erika Koike.

Nicolas and Riko kept a low profile when they said “I do.” On July 13, the lovebirds walked their first red carpet together for the premiere of Nicolas’ film Pig, and that changed everything. Nicolas recounted the moment he realized this new connection would work out at the premiere.

“We shared a lot of interests. She enjoys animals as well, so I inquired, “Do you have any pets?” ‘Yes, I have flying squirrels,’ she replied. Nicolas spoke to Entertainment Tonight about it. “She was the proud owner of two sugar gliders… ‘That’s it,’ I thought. This might work out.’
