Nicolas Cageis in newlywed bliss!
The actor, 57, wed Riko Shibata last month in a “very small and intimate wedding” at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.
“It’s true, and we are very happy,” Cage says in a statement to PEOPLE.
While news of the wedding broke on Friday, they tied the knot on Feb. 16 — a date that is very special to Cage.
“The date was chosen to honor the birthday of the groom’s late father,” Cage’s rep tells PEOPLE. “The bride wore a handmade Japanese Bridal Kimono from Kyoto that required three layers.”
Cage wore a Tom Ford Tuxedo for their special day.

The couple — who met in Shiga, Japan, more than a year ago — exchanged traditional Catholic and Shinto vows with poetry from Walt Whitman and Haiku sprinkled in.
