Four days after Erika Koike, 34, married Nicolas Cage, 55, the National Treasure star surprisingly asked a judge to cancel their marriage. Just as many of the details surrounding their extremely brief union are shrouded in mystery, so is Erika’s background. Here’s what we know.

2. She started dating Cage in 2018. The two were first spotted together in Puerto Rico in April, grabbing lunch together. Cage had been shooting the film Primal in Puerto Rico at the time.

3. They were later seen in Beverly Hills one month after that in May. While Koike wore a white top and metallic pants on their dinner date on May 21, Cage donned a zebra print jacket and a black button down shirt.

4. She and Cage applied for a marriage license in Clark County on Mar. 23. The couple later received a marriage certificate on Mar. 27, the same day Cage filed for an annulment asking to cancel their four-day marriage. The Daily Mail obtained footage that reportedly depicts Cage and Koike applying for their marriage license in Las Vegas. In the video, after Cage says, “I’m not doing it,” referring to obtaining a marriage license, Koike keeps saying that she “never asked” Cage to do this. The two exit after Cage says, “Come on, let’s go.”

5. It’s unclear whether Cage and Koike will stay together after his annulment filing. In fact, Cage has reportedly asked for a divorce fromKoike if he can’t get the annulment, according to The Blast.
