Nicolas Cage and Riko Shibata are expecting a girl, and the baby’s name has been revealed

In a recent interview, Nicolas Cage finally confirmed that he and wife Riko Shibata had a kid.

The Pig actor made the momentous revelation during a visit on The Kelly Clarkson Show, revealing that he will name his child after late John Lennon and his father August ‘Augie’ Coppola.

On the show, the 58-year-old actress stated, “I’m going to have a little girl.”

“Because of the song Across The Universe,” he said, “her name will be Lennon Augie, Augie after my father.”
When the actor first heard the song played by his disc jockey father at his radio station, he was “locked, immobilised by the melody,” describing it as his “favourite song ever composed.”

Cage went on to say that he and his wife will call their kid “Lenny” for short.

“I’m overjoyed. The actor continued, “It’s going to be the biggest journey of my life.”

Cage already has two boys from prior marriages, Weston Coppola Cage and Kal-El Coppola Cage.

The actor and his fifth wife, Shibata, are expecting their first child in January.

Earlier this year, while promoting his film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, the actor expressed his joy about the impending addition to his family in an interview with Access Hollywood.

“I’m quite delighted,” Cage told the news organisation.

“I miss going to the toy shop, singing lullabies, and sitting in the rocking chair now that my boys are all grown up,” he continued. “I’m excited to get back to work on that.”
