Cage's Longest Marriage: Waitress Romance Endures
1 Oct
Summary
- Cage met Alice Kim, a young waitress, at a Los Angeles restaurant in 2004.
- Their relationship progressed rapidly, with engagement and marriage within months.
- Their marriage lasted over a decade, becoming Cage's longest union.
In 2004, a chance encounter at a Los Angeles restaurant introduced actor Nicolas Cage to Alice Kim, a young waitress. Their connection rapidly evolved; they became engaged mere weeks after meeting in February and married by July of the same year. This swift union allowed Kim to accompany Cage during the filming of 'Lord of War' in South Africa.
Their marriage, which resulted in the birth of their son, Kal-El, in October 2005, endured for over a decade, making it Cage's longest to date. Despite a notable incident in 2011 where Cage was arrested following an argument with Kim, they continued their relationship.
The couple's separation was confirmed in June 2016, concluding eleven years of marriage. Cage later described the split as unexpected but amicable. Notably, Kim and Cage maintained a friendly relationship, primarily for their son's well-being, and Kim, along with Kal-El, attended Cage's 2021 wedding to his fifth wife, Riko Shibata.
