Let's talk about Nicolas Cage's whirlwind romance that came to an abrupt end. Just four days after tying the knot with his new bride, Erika Koike, the legendary actor has already filed for an annulment. Imagine getting married and then realizing, "Whoa, whoa, whoa—what just happened?" That's the situation Cage finds himself in now.

According to court records obtained from Clark County District Court and reviewed by Closer Weekly, the 55-year-old actor submitted the necessary paperwork on March 27 to begin the process of ending his marriage. Cage's legal team requested an annulment, but if that doesn't go through, they're prepared to pursue a divorce instead, as reported by The Blast. It seems like this marriage was over before it even had a chance to begin.

A Quick Marriage That Fizzled Out

Just four short days earlier, on March 23, Nicolas Cage, star of movies like Con Air, reportedly obtained a marriage license to wed Erika Koike. Koike has been Cage's girlfriend since April 2018, but not much is publicly known about her. What we do know is that she’s listed as a makeup artist on her IMDb page, with her sole credit being a role in the 2012 short film Hankikanto. If this marriage does officially dissolve, it will mark Nicolas Cage's fourth failed marriage, proving that neither the third nor the fourth time is the charm for him.
