Cage is a dad again

Hollywood star Nicolas Cage is celebrating after his third wife Alice Kim Cage gave birth to their first child together yesterday.

The Oscar-winning actor, 41, and Kim Cage, 21, welcomed their son Kal-El Coppola Cage in a New York City hospital yesterday morning.

The Leaving Las Vegas star's publicist Annett Wolf confirmed: "They are healthy and happy and it's quite lovely."

Cage and Kim Cage wed in July 2004 after a whirlwind six month courtship. They met when the actor visited the Los Angeles restaurant where Kim Cage was employed as a waitress.

The actor has previously been married to actress Patricia Arquette and singer Lisa Marie Presley.

He has a son Weston, 13, from his relationship with ex-girlfriend Kristina Fulton.
