Things are still going strong between Nicolas Cage and his fifth wife Riko Shibata, who shared a hearty laugh together at the 25th Newport Beach Film Festival on Sunday.
At 60, the Oscar winner is 31 years older than the Kyoto native, but he positively beamed at her during the honors brunch held at Balboa Bay Resort.
Nicolas (born Nicholas Coppola) looked dapper in a white blazer over a black floral button-up shirt, black trousers, and patent leather boots.
Riko looked leggy in a black-long sleeve mini-dress and matching booties while toting a chain-strapped Chanel quilted bag on the bustling red carpet.
Cage and Shibata – who got engaged via FaceTime – originally met in 2020 ‘through mutual friends’ in Japan while he was filming Sion Sono’s sci-fi horror film Prisoners of the Ghostland.

The married couple of three years are proud parents of two-year-old daughter August Francesca Cage.
Nicolas was previously married to Patricia Arquette (1995-2001), the late Lisa Marie Presley (2002), and Erika Koike (2019).
Cage fathered 19-year-old son Kal-El Cage during his 12-year marriage to ex-wife #3 Alice Kim, which ended in 2016.
The Longlegs actor – who was honored with the Icon Award – is also father to 33-year-old Weston Cage, who pled not guilty to assault with a deadly weapon against his mother Christina Fulton on July 31 – according to TMZ.
While at the Newport Beach ceremony, Nicolas shook hands with Colman Domingo, who was honored with the Maverick Award.
Cage also posed with Lifetime Achievement in Music Award recipient Diane Warren and Lifetime Achievement Award winner June Squibb.
The eccentric grandfather-of-four has been hard at work filming his titular role as superhero-turned-private investigator in Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot’s 1930s NYC-set, eight-episode series Spider-Noir for MGM+.
Nic’s other upcoming films include Thomas Martin’s psychological thriller The Surfer, Brian Skiba’s western The Gunslingers, Cameron Van Hoy’s Hunter Biden-inspired The Prince, Lotfy Nathan’s Biblical horror The Carpenter’s Son, Andrew Niccol’s sequel Lords Of War, and David O. Russell’s John Madden biopic.
