The Coppola Legacy: Shocking New Details About Nicolas Cage's Three Children—Weston, Kal-El, And August

• minute read
Contents
Nicolas Cage, a cinematic icon and member of the legendary Coppola family, is a father to three children whose lives are as dramatic and varied as his filmography. As of late 2024, the lives of his children—Weston, Kal-El, and August—have been a subject of intense public and legal scrutiny, especially with the most recent, shocking developments involving his eldest son, Weston Coppola Cage. The actor has often spoken candidly about the challenges and joys of raising children in the shadow of Hollywood, a journey that has spanned over three decades and three different marriages. The three children—two sons and one daughter—are spread across three generations, with a 32-year age gap between the eldest and the youngest. From a black metal musician facing legal issues to a teenage aspiring filmmaker and a toddler, the next generation of the Coppola dynasty is already proving to be anything but ordinary.

Weston Coppola Cage: Turmoil, Music, and a New Beginning

Weston Coppola Cage, the eldest son, has consistently been in the headlines, often for his tumultuous personal life and his unique, intense professional endeavors. Born from Cage's relationship with actress Christina Fulton, Weston has forged a career in the heavy metal music scene, a stark contrast to his father's Hollywood career.

Weston was the lead singer and composer for the black metal band Eyes of Noctum, which he founded in 2006. After the band dissolved, he went on to form another project, Arsh Anubis, showcasing his deep commitment to the genre.

However, the most recent news surrounding Weston is deeply concerning and highly publicized. In a dramatic incident in early 2024, Weston was arrested and charged with felony assault after allegedly attacking his mother, Christina Fulton. The legal fallout was significant: a judge sentenced him to a two-year mental health program to address the felony assault charges.

Adding another layer of complexity, Christina Fulton has filed a lawsuit against both Weston and Nicolas Cage, alleging "catastrophic" assault stemming from the April 2024 incident. This legal battle places a significant strain on the already complicated family dynamics of the Coppola clan.

Amidst the legal and personal turmoil, Weston announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Jenifer Alexa Canter, shortly after the arrest. Canter has publicly embraced the Coppola name, changing her social media username to reflect her new identity, Cage Coppola, signaling a desire for a new chapter despite the ongoing controversies.

Kal-El Coppola Cage: The Aspiring Filmmaker and Superman’s Namesake

The middle child, Kal-El Coppola Cage, represents a different trajectory. Born in 2005 to Nicolas Cage and his then-wife, Alice Kim, Kal-El’s name choice instantly made headlines. Kal-El is the Kryptonian birth name of DC Comics' Superman, a character Cage is famously obsessed with.

Now a young adult, Kal-El is actively pursuing a career in the film industry, following in the footsteps of both his father and the broader Coppola family legacy, which includes director Francis Ford Coppola. He is currently listed as an aspiring actor and filmmaker, suggesting he intends to be both in front of and behind the camera.

Unlike his older half-brother, Kal-El has maintained a relatively low profile, with his life largely kept private. However, Nicolas Cage has spoken about his relationship with his son, noting that he is a thoughtful and creative young man. Kal-El's focus on filmmaking and acting positions him to potentially carry on the family's artistic tradition in a more conventional Hollywood sense.

The Newest Addition: August Francesca Coppola Cage

The most recent addition to the Cage family is August Francesca Coppola Cage, who was born on September 7, 2022, to Nicolas Cage and his fifth wife, artist Riko Shibata.

While the original search was for "Nicolas Cage son," August is a daughter, and her arrival completed the trio of Cage’s children. Her birth was a source of great joy for the actor, who was already in his late 50s.

The name August Francesca is deeply personal. The middle name, August, is a heartfelt tribute to Cage's father, August Coppola, a literature professor and brother of Francis Ford Coppola. Her mother, Riko Shibata, is a Japanese artist, making August part of a unique cultural heritage.

August's life is currently shielded from the public eye, allowing her to grow up away from the intense media scrutiny that has followed her older half-brothers. Her presence underscores a new, quieter chapter in Nicolas Cage's life, a stark contrast to the dramatic events surrounding Weston. This age gap and different upbringing will undoubtedly shape August's future as she grows up within the complex, fascinating world of the Coppola and Cage families.
