Warning: This article contains discussion of domestic violence which some readers may find distressing.

Nicolas Cage's son has married for the fourth time this week following a court ruling over the alleged attack of his mom, Christina Fulton.

Fulton claimed her son, Weston Cage Coppola, 'almost took [her] life' on April 28, 2024, allegedly calling her to say he was 'setting his apartment on fire' and then 'snapping' when she came to meet him, allegedly grabbing her by her hair, shoving her to the floor and 'crushing' and 'suffocating' her.

Weston's mom says he then attacked his best friend before coming back to slam her, stand on her neck and strangle her.

Following the incident, Weston was granted a two-year mental health diversion program last month.

Judge Monguia said at a morning hearing, as quoted by Rolling Stone: "Mr Cage does suffer from an eligible mental health disorder. I’m satisfied it was a significant factor in the commission of the charged offenses.

"It’s obvious he was suffering a breakdown at the time."

Meanwhile, Weston's lawyer Michael A. Goldstein said: "He [Weston] hasn’t felt this good in years. He’s in a good head space, about to get married. He moved away from the location living in before and is definitely making progress."

Fast-forward to last weekend, and Cage married Jenifer Alexa Canter at The London West Hollywood in Beverly Hills, with dad Nicolas Cage in attendance.

The pair shared photos and videos of the event on social media, with Canter posting clips of Weston dancing with her mom, meanwhile Cage could be seen in a black suit.

Fulton appeared to be absent from the celebrations.

Weston and Canter started dating back in November 2024 before getting engaged in March.

Sharing a post on Facebook from the big day, Weston posted a number of photos and wrote: “I am ineffably honored to announce that I am married to my twin flame just as the creator intended all along. I love you @_babyjen_ more than any man has ever loved.

“What was meant to be shall forever be and I will always protect you and our incontrovertibly God-given marriage by any means necessary. This is the greatest miracle of my existence as I see the reason I was born and divinity itself every time I look into your astronomically beautiful eyes."

Weston added: “Our dreams are God’s dreams for the world. Your holy soul and being is the dynamic key in every nuance and detail that unlocked my heart for it was always yours. Reunited and divinely provided.

"We are free and now we can free the world together. Perfection is 2nd to the profound greatness that you are. You have the prince and the gentleman in me and your devoted beast forever and always now."

Weston was previously married to Hila Cage Coppola, with whom he shares five-year-old twin daughters, Venice and Cyress.

He was also previously married to Danielle Cage, with whom he has two sons, Lucian, 10 and Sorin, eight.

His first marriage was to Nikki Williams, whom he was married to for just a year.
