Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage and girlfriend Lisa Marie Presley plan to walk down the aisle before 2002, insiders report. And though the two met just one year ago, it seems a wedding is definitely on the cards.
“The tragedy in New York and Washington made them realise there are no guarantees in life,” reports Lisa Marie’s cousin, Reverend Rick Stanley. “She told me, ‘We don’t want to wait another minute. We’re getting married right away’.”
Nic met Lisa Marie at guitarist Johnny Ramone’s 52nd birthday celebration in Los Angeles last October. “Nic had a very special interest in Lisa Marie,” says actor Vincent Gallo, who spotted the two cosying up at the bash. “When I saw them talking, I thought, ‘Uh-oh’.” However, at the time Elvis’s daughter was engaged to musician John Oszajca. That relationship later faltered and Nic and Lisa Marie went public with their own romance in May after a Tom Jones concert in, fittingly, Las Vegas.
This would be Lisa Marie’s third trip down the aisle. She had been married to Danny Keough – a musician and fellow member of the controversial Church of Scientology – for six years and together the couple had two children. They divorced in 1994 and one month later she wed the self-proclaimed King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The high-profile couple split up after just 20 months.
Oscar winner Nic had been married to actress Patricia Arquette but the two officially called it quits in May 2001 after a long separation. The Leaving Las Vegas star’s latest film, the WWII drama Windtalkers, was to be released on November 9 in the US but is now scheduled to hit theatres on June 14. Lisa Marie, meanwhile, is working on her debut rock album due in stores next year.
