Congratulations are in order for Nicolas Cage's son Weston Coppola Cage, who has revealed he is engaged to his "first and only" love, Jenifer Alexa Canter.

"Jenifer is my first love, my only love and my last,” he told People, announcing their engagement publicly. "She is the love of my life and I am committed to her forever."

He added: “What I have with Jenifer is a God-given divine phenomenon, and therefore it is incomparable. She is the love of my life, and our special love is uncanny. I am honored to be with the absolute love of my life. We look forward to changing the world and making our legacy.”

"This sacred union of the creator has been made and the blockers and vermin who feared this perfect union in the past are gone and banished. I have the true love of my life beside me and time starts now as I haven’t lived until now. 

"I love you so much that I won’t be able to go to heaven unless my last breath as an extremely old man is used to say 'I love you' while holding your hand. I’ve seen visions of you since I imagined my soulmate when I was a child," he wrote.

He has fronted two metal bands over the years – Eyes of Noctum and Arsh Anubis – and is also an actor, appearing at the age of 15 in 2005's Lord of the War, alongside his father, and 2024's Boneyard.

In 2016 he admitted that becoming an actor was "definitely encouraged by his parents, but that "everyone predicted that I would become an actor just because I spent the majority of my childhood getting together with friends and creating stories and having it videotape".

The 34-year-old has been arrested twice.

First in 2017, when he was arrested for a DUI and a hit-and-run in Los Angeles, and again in July 2024 on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

He allegedly got into a verbal fight that turned physical with his mom, Christina, and the police reports claimed that he "punched two victims multiple times causing injury".

Was Nicolas Cage sued by his son's mom?

Weston's mom sued Nicolas for 'enabling'' their son

Yes - in February 2025 Christina sued the actor for enabling their son, and alleging that Nicolas had been ignoring Weston's mental health concerns at the time of the attack.

"Nicolas knew or should have known that Weston posed a serious and imminent danger to others, including Plaintiff, based on his documented history of violent assaults, substance abuse, and mental instability," the lawsuit read.

"The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous," an attorney for Cage said in a statement.

"Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston's behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston's alleged assault of his mother."

Has Weston been married before?
