Who did Nicolas Cage marry in 2002?

Nicolas Cage married Lisa Marie Presley in 2002.

The couple married on August 10, 2002, in a private ceremony at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on Hawaii’s Big Island. Presley was the only child of music legend Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley, while Cage was already an Oscar-winning actor known for films such as Leaving Las Vegas and Face/Off.

The marriage was famously brief. Cage filed for divorce in November 2002, after about four months, although the divorce was not finalized until 2004. Their relationship attracted major media attention partly because both were prominent entertainment figures and because Presley had previously been married to musician Michael Jackson.

A common mix-up is confusing Presley with Cage’s first wife, actress Patricia Arquette, or with his later wives Alice Kim, Erika Koike, and Riko Shibata. Lisa Marie Presley was Cage’s second wife, and their 2002 wedding is the canonical answer to this question.
