Christine Fulton
Later in 1988 Nicolas began dating actress Christina Fulton. The couple remained together for several years and welcomed their son Weston Coppola Cage in 1990. The two separated shortly after the birth of their son and the baby boy was subsequently raised by Christina.
“For 18 years, I raised Weston so that Nicolas could become Nicolas Cage and become a superstar, and he did. So I raised this boy, 24/7, we were glued to the hip,” Christina said in a statement.
The former couple made headlines again in 2011 when Weston, who had lived with his father since he was 18, was taken into psychiatric detention after an incident outside a Hollywood restaurant. Christina blamed Nicholas for their son’s “downward spiral” and sued him for unpaid taxes and the Hollywood house where she raised Weston. Meanwhile, Nicolas called his comments “unfortunate and inappropriate”. Two years later, the duo settled the lawsuit with “mutually satisfactory” results.

Patricia Arquette
Nicolas first met Patricia Arquette when he and Crispin Glover met her at a restaurant. She was only 18 at the time, but that didn’t stop Crispin and Nicolas from predicting that they would both marry her one day. After their first meeting, Nicolas continued to pursue Patricia and even asked her to provide him with a list of things to find and bring to him in order to prove his worth. As Patricia hesitated, she agreed and gave an almost impossible list including JD Salinger’s autograph and a black orchid, which doesn’t actually exist.
The actor was able to collect an impressive amount of merchandise on the list and although she was “frightened” by its intensity, Patricia agreed to accompany him on a trip to Cuba. Unfortunately, they had a problem with their tickets during a stopover, and Nicolas’ outburst of anger chased Patricia away.
Nearly a decade later, the couple reconnected and ended up getting married just two weeks after the chance meeting in 1995. The 10-minute ceremony took place on a rocky cliff in Carmel, California, and n was observed only by the city’s former police chief and a group of sea otters.
The couple divorced five years later after a somewhat turbulent marriage that included several separate living periods. According to Patricia, there were times when they “didn’t live together because [they] were fighting” and a time when Patricia moved in with her mother to be her babysitter. While their marriage reportedly had a “mutual and respectful” end, Nicolas says he and Patricia haven’t spoken to each other “in a long time.”

Lisa Marie Presley
Nicolas and Lisa Marie Presley first met at a party in 2000 when he split from Patricia. Despite rumor of Nicolas’ obsession with Lisa Marie’s father, Elvis, he says he saw her as more than the King of Rock & Roll’s daughter. Unfortunately, the couple had a “habit of breaking up, getting back together,” and things didn’t last long after they tied the knot in 2002. The two filed for divorce just 107 days after the wedding.
Although their relationship was rocky due to their “strong” and “intense” personalities, the former couple remained friends after the split. Years later, Lisa Marie and Nicolas shared fond memories, with Nicolas saying they “laughed a lot together”.

Alice Kim
Just months after Nicolas’ divorce from Lisa Marie was finalized, he married Alice Kim, whom he had met while working at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Alice was just 19 at the time, but the couple quickly got married so she could travel with him to South Africa, where he was filming ‘Lord of War’. A year later, Alice gave birth to the couple’s only child, a son named Kal-El.
Years later, Nicholas credited Alice for her stable lifestyle, saying he “made a very clear decision to get married out of [his] own zip code. Although the couple had been married for over a decade, they finally split in 2016, which Nicolas said was a “shock” he “didn’t see coming.”
“She was quite young when I married her and I don’t really have any ill will about what happened. That’s all I will say. And now it’s like, wow, I’m 54 and I’m single again – I don’t see that coming! It’s quite grim,’ he told the Guardian.

The couple dated for a year before getting married in 2019 in a marriage that didn’t last. only four days. In an annulment request, Nicolas claimed he was too drunk to make a responsible decision when Erika suggested they get married. He added that Erika had also failed to disclose “the full nature and extent of her relationship with another person” as well as her “criminal history”, including “active criminal proceedings”.
“There was a recent breakup. I don’t really want to talk about it. I was pretty upset about that and the way things turned out,” Nicolas told The New York Times a few months after their split.
