“Heartbroken” Nicolas Cage Mourns Death of Ex-Wife Lisa Marie Presley

Nicolas Cage is paying tribute to his late ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley.

One day after the 54-year-old singer passed away in Los Angeles after possible cardiac arrest, the Leaving Las Vegas actor, who was married to Lisa for four months in 2002, spoke out about the “devastating news.”

“Lisa had the greatest laugh of anyone I ever met,” Nicolas said in a statement to E! News Jan. 13. “She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken.”

Referring to her son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in July 2020 at age 27, he added, “I find some solace believing she is reunited with her son Benjamin.”

Two days after attending the 2023 Golden Globes together, Lisa’s mom Priscilla Presley released a statement confirming her death.

“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” she told People Jan. 12. “She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers.”
