Nicolas Cage has tied the knot for the fifth time.

The 57-year-old actor wed Riko Shibata, 26, back in February in a "small and intimate wedding" at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, reports People.

Cage told the publication: "It's true, and we are very happy."

The date, 16 February, held special significance for the Face/Off star as it is the birthday of his late father, August Coppola.

The pair are said to have exchanged traditional Catholic and Shinto vows in a ceremony that also included poetry from Walt Whitman and Haiku.

Pictures obtained by People show the newlyweds kissing in front of a backdrop adorned with fairy lights, candles and greenery.

A "small celebration" followed with guests including Cage's ex-wife Alice Kim and their son Kal-El, 15.

The Moonstruck star was first married to fellow actor Patricia Arquette from 1995 to 2001. He wed second wife Lisa Marie Presley in 2002 before their divorced was finalised in 2004, with Cage marrying Kim that same year.
