The couple applied for a marriage license on Jan. 10, according to Clark County court records. According to the marriage license, Shibata took Cage’s last name.

Cage’s last marriage, to Erika Koike, was annulled after four days in March 2019. Before that, Cage was married to Alice Kim for 10 years before they separated in 2016. The couple share a 15-year-old son, Kal-El Coppola, E! News reported.

“She left New York and went back to Kyoto, Japan, and I went back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her for six months,” Cage said on a radio show hosted by his older brother, Marc Coppola. “We’re really happy together and we’re really excited to spend that time together so I finally just said, ‘Look, I wanna marry you,’ and we got engaged on FaceTime.”
