After 4 Days Of Marriage, Nicolas Cage Files For Annulment From Erika Koike

Los Angeles Special Screening And Q&A Of "Mandy" At Beyond Fest - Red Carpet

After just four days, Nicolas Cage has pulled the plug on his marriage to new wife Erika Koike.

According to PEOPLE, the 55-year-old actor has filed for an annulment from the makeup artist following their whirlwind nuptials in Las Vegas. Per court records obtained by the publication, Cage and Koike submitted an application for annulment in Clark County, Nevada, this Wednesday (March 27). Docs also revealed the newlyweds had filed for a marriage license and certificate on Saturday (March 23).

No details regarding the Con Air star's decision to annul his union to Koike had been revealed at the time of the initial report, though new court paperwork obtained by TMZ apparently indicates the marriage was a fraudulent, drunken mistake.

"[Erika] suggested to [Nic] that they should marry, [Nic] reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions," the celebrity gossip outlet notes, adding that Koike supposdly failed to come clean about "the full nature and extent of her relationship with another person" nor of her alleged criminal past. What's more, it's being speculated that Koike was only after his money.

Hours after tying the knot, TMZ caught the newlyweds, who looked visibly unhappy, as they were exiting Bellagio hotel, where onlookers heard Koike screaming at the groom.

The couple were first pictured on vacation together in Puerto Rico in April 2018. After Koike, this will become Cage's fourth and fastest failed marriage.

Cage wed his first wife, Patricia Arquette, in April 1995 and later divorced in 2001. Cage's second marriage to singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley lasted from August to November 2002 — though the divorce proceeding (finalized in May 2004) went on longer than their actual union. His last and longest marriage was in July 2004 to a waitress named Alice Kim — with whom he had a son, Kal-El, in October 2005 — which came to an end after 12 years in 2016.
