Nicolas Cage wants annulment just four days after latest trip down the aisle
According to court documents, Entertainment Tonight is reporting that actor Nicolas Cage has filed for annulment, four days after getting married. Cage and wife Erika Koike began dating last April and applied for a marriage license and tied the know on Saturday. The actor has requested a divorce if an annulment isn't possible.
The woman Nicolas Cage was married to for four days before filing for an annulment claims she’s entitled to spousal support and wants the “Face/Off” star to pay for her legal fees.
The 55-year-old actor married Erika Koike during a night of drinking in Las Vegas after dating for a year. He filed for an annulment just four days later, explaining in court documents that he was too drunk to adequately agree to the big decision.

According to a report from TMZ, Koike agreed to a divorce but doesn’t agree that the impulsiveness of the decision qualifies for an annulment. As a result, she believes she’s eligible for spousal support. Koike claims she’s lost career opportunities during the relationship as a result of her damaged reputation. Cage previously alleged that she didn’t disclose her full criminal history to him prior to the marriage ceremony.
