However, the 60-year-old actor and the mother of his son, Christina, 56, have faced some challenges. The former couple shares a son Weston, a father of four. The couple had close relationships with their grandchildren, but they have not been able to spend time with their twin granddaughters, who Weston shares with Hila Aronian.

Weston and Hila tied the knot in a unique rocker and boho-themed ceremony at a large estate in Canyon Country, California, in 2018. The wedding was a vibrant affair with specialty cocktails and music by acoustic singer and guitarist Jennifer Lynn Simpson.

During the ceremony, Weston expressed his deep feelings for Hila, “To marry the sacred individual that the universal mind created me for is the greatest honor I’ve ever received. She is the divine incarnation of everything I love and the owner of my heart.”

Weston and Hila welcomed twin daughters, Cypress and Venice, during the peak of the pandemic. However, their marriage soon deteriorated, leading to an acrimonious divorce that was still reported to be unresolved.

When the twins arrived on April 8th, 2020, after 36 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy, Hila shared the good news on Instagram. She proudly described them as “advanced and alert,” because of their ability to hold their heads up and their surprising strength, which made them seem older than their age.

The core of Christina’s lawsuit revolved around several severe accusations against Hila. She claimed that Hila created a hostile environment that has estranged her and Nicolas from their grandchildren.

Christina also alleged that Hila manipulated Weston into filing a restraining order against her shortly after the twins’ birth, under the threat of denying him access to his children. This restraining order was later dismissed when Weston failed to appear in court.

As Nicolas and Christina strive to cope with the ongoing issues, they remain focused on mending family rifts and hoping for a resolution that will allow them to reconnect with their grandchildren. “In these trying times, our family’s resilience is tested. But we remain committed to overcoming these challenges and restoring our family’s harmony,” Christina concluded.

He recalled spending his childhood gathering friends to create elaborate home videos with stage blood, combat sequences, and intricate dialogues. “I think it was definitely encouraged, but 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 videotaped,” Weston shared.

“Weston is what I call the total artist. He can do things I dream about doing…compose music, sing, act, sculpt, and cook and now he is a loving father,” Nicolas shared.

From how fondly Nicolas speaks of his family, it is clear that he is nothing like the tough roles he plays on screen. In real life, the actor is a soft and loving grandfather.

Despite Nicolas Cage’s busy work life, he always puts his family first and has admitted that he turned down several roles in big productions for his children.

“I turned down ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Matrix’ because I didn’t want to go to New Zealand for three years or Australia for three years because I needed to be home with my son Weston, that’s a fact,” he expressed.

While maintaining a happy and well-maintained personal and professional life can be challenging, the Cage family continues to strive for it every day.
