In August 2020, Cage spoke about their engagement during an interview on his brother Marc Coppola’s radio show.
He explained, “She left New York and went back to Kyoto, Japan, and I went back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her for 6 months. We’re really happy together and we’re really excited to spend that time together so I finally just said ‘Look, I wanna marry you’ and we got engaged on FaceTime.”
“I got her a black diamond engagement ring,” he added. “Her favorite color is black so she wanted the black gold, and the black diamond. I customized and personalized it and I actually sent it to her FedEx.”
