12 july 2024 в 01:13
Nicholas Kim Coppola, born on January 7, 1964 in Long Beach, California, is an actor and director whose career began in the early 80s and spans a wide range. The 60-year-old nephew of renowned director Francis Ford Coppola and cousin of directors Sofia Coppola and Roman Coppola made a name for himself in Hollywood with memorable roles in films such as «Moonstruck» (1987), «Raising Arizona» (1987), «Wild at Heart» (1990), and «Leaving Las Vegas» (1995), for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor.
In addition to his acting career and subsequent work as a producer and director, Nicholas has had a rich love life, being married five times and dating famous stars such as Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley. Apart from various romances, he has two children from two different women, and currently his wife Riko Shibata is expecting a child. Here we will tell you everything you need to know about the actor’s children.
Born on December 26, 1990, Weston Coppola Cage is Nicholas’s first son, whom he shares with actress Christina Fulton. Weston, a musician, has been part of two black metal bands, and describes himself as a «martial artist» and «spiritualist» on his Instagram profile. Weston has also dabbled in Hollywood, appearing in his father’s film «Lord of War» as a helicopter mechanic and recently starring in an MMA fighter film «Mohave Diamonds», - scheduled for release in 2023.
Weston seems to be doing fairly well these days, although he has had some issues in the past. In 2017, he was arrested for driving under the influence in San Fernando Valley after crashing into a tree. Additionally, last summer the actor filed a restraining order in Chatsworth, California against his mother, Christina, claiming she caused him «stress for months» and also that she tried to «destroy [his] career» while he was seeking treatment for «health issues». The judge ultimately denied the petition.
Although Weston still has some issues with his mother, he seems to remain quite close with his father, who is also a grandfather to four children through his son: Lucian August, Sorin Reid, whom Weston shares with ex-wife Danielle Cage, and twins Venice Zoar and Cyrus Zara from his relationship with current wife Hila Cage Coppola.
However, in July 2024, Weston was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon following an alleged incident with his mother, according to multiple sources. After the arrest, he was released on bail of $ 150,000. The charge was related to an incident that occurred in April 2024 with Christina. Reports suggest they got into an argument and became physical.
Kal-El Coppola Cage was born on October 3, 2005 to Nicholas and then-wife Alice Kim. They chose the unique name Kal-El in honor of Superman’s real name — as Nick is a big comic book fan (he chose his surname «Cage» in honor of the character Luke Cage). The couple married at a private ranch in Northern California on July 30, 2004, but divorced in 2016.
Nicholas and Alice continue to successfully raise Kal-El! The teenager prefers to keep a low profile, although he has somewhat followed in his father’s footsteps in the entertainment world, voicing a young Bruce Wayne in the 2018 family action film «Teen Titans Go! To the Movies».
In January 2022, Nicholas and current wife Riko Shibata announced they were expecting a child. The «City of Angels» actor and his wife confirmed the joyful news to PEOPLE magazine. «Future parents are thrilled!» their representative shared with the publication.
The news came just 10 months after their wedding in Las Vegas, which took place at the Wynn hotel and resort in February. The couple apparently chose February 16 as their wedding date in memory of Nicholas’s late father, August Coppola, who was born on that day in 1934. August passed away from a heart attack in 2009 at the age of 75.
