Personal Life

Alice Kim is an American of Korean descent. She was working as a waitress in the nightspot ‘Le Prive’, which was a Korean-themed restaurant. In a story right out of fairytale, Nicholas Cage fell in love with her instantly when she came to serve his table in the restaurant. Kim was 20 years old when she met Cage in February 2004. Soon, due to a desire of living together as soon as possible, they were engaged within two months of meeting each other. The age difference of 20 years between the couple was a cause of concern for Alice’s mother, but on seeing their love for each other, she gave her consent. The couple tied the knot on a ranch in Northern California in August 2004. They decided to marry earlier than expected so that she could travel with him to South Africa while he was filming for ‘Lord of War’.

She even made brief appearances in movies starring her husband, such as, ‘Next’ (2007) and ‘Grindhouse’ (2007). The age and ethnic differences between them often sparked a controversy, but Cage pushed these comments aside and acknowledged that he made a clear decision to marry out of his zip code and into another culture. She remains his longest partner in his string of relationships as they were together for almost twelve years. Rumors suggest that they separated because Alice was cheating on him, however there are no confirmations as they like to keep their personal life out of the media. The couple decided to divorce each other in January 2016.
