Some marriages are not made in heaven and end earlier than expected. In one such not-so-surprising news, actor Nicolas Cage has ended up his marriage with his fourth wife Erika Koike just four days after their marriage. The couple began dating in April 2018 and got married on March 23, 2019. However, just 4 days into the marriage, Nicolas Cage filed for an annulment — or a divorce if an annulment is not possible — according to court documents. This isn’t the first short-lived marriage for Nicolas Cage, who had earlier been married to Lisa Marie Presley for just 3 and half months. While this may come up as surprise for many, short-lived marriages are not a new trend, for both Hollywood and Bollywood.
