He has won an Oscar and has been in the movie business for many years. At home, he is just as committed to showing his love and care for his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his dedication to his family, not everything has been smooth. The 60-year-old actor and the mother of his son, Christina, who is 56, have faced some challenges. The former couple shares their son Weston, who is a father of four. Christina and the actor have had close relationships with their grandchildren but they have not been able to spend time with their twin granddaughters, who Weston shares with Hila Aronian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/f7fd1bc22faf133aca42b6bea2a19ea92ff21c1100f42dc3f1d500827cb94ccf.jpg\" alt=\"The actor in the article  and Christina Fulton in Los Angeles in 1988 | Source: Getty iMAGES\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The actor in the article and Christina Fulton in Los Angeles in 1988 | Source: Getty iMAGES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weston and Hila tied the knot in a unique rocker and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/movies\/nicolas-cage-son-weston-marries-fiancee-hila-aronian-rocker-boho-themed-ceremony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boho-themed ceremony<\/a>&nbsp;at a large estate in Canyon Country, California, in 2018.

While Nicolas adores his son and his grandchildren, he has had to watch Weston deal with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/entertainment\/9645637\/nicolas-cage-ex-granddaughters-feud-daughter-in-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a messy ending<\/a>&nbsp;to his marriage. Weston and Hila welcomed twin daughters, Cypress and Venice, during the peak of the pandemic. However, their marriage soon deteriorated, leading to an acrimonious divorce that was still reported to be unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the twins arrived, Hila shared the good news on Instagram. She shared that the twins were born on April 8th, 2020, after 36 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy. She was proud and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_oQKC1g-Xp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">described<\/a>&nbsp;them as \u201cadvanced and alert,\u201d because of their ability to hold their heads up and their surprising strength, which made them seem older than their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the messy divorce between her and Weston also led to a bigger family matter. According to reports, both Weston and his mother, Christina, initiated defamation lawsuits against Hila in Los Angeles. The court documents accused Hila of spreading malicious falsehoods via a blog, social media, and various media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core of Christina\u2019s lawsuit revolved around several severe accusations against Hila. She claimed that Hila created a hostile environment that has estranged her and Nicolas from their grandchildren. Christina also alleged that Hila manipulated Weston into filing a restraining order against her shortly after the twins\u2019 birth, under the threat of denying him access to his children. This restraining order was later dismissed when Weston failed to appear in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Christina accused Hila of embezzling $100,000 from Weston during a vulnerable period of his mental health recovery. The lawsuits claimed that these actions were part of a broader strategy to isolate Weston from his family and damage their reputations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/7ab92f4e67b77419ee350931200f47e557d03d34ed9c2bef40515764fb8c61b7.jpg\" alt=\"Christina Fulton and Weston Cage in Los Angeles in 2006 | Source: Getty Images\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina Fulton and Weston Cage in Los Angeles in 2006 | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina, who runs her own beauty business, expressed her devastation over the situation. \u201cHila is stonewalling the entire family with her smear campaign.
