Cage and Presley: Splitsville

Tue., Feb. 5, 2002 2:45 PM PST by

Nicolas Cage will have to settle with being a member of one set of show-biz royalty.

Just as some gossip magazines began reporting his imminent engagement to Lisa Marie Presley, turns out Cage and Elvis's baby girl have now split up. According to a statement from the actor's publicist, "Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley ended their 10-month relationship two weeks ago. They hope to remain friendly."

No word on why the twosome have gone their separate ways. But the gossip snoops at the New York Daily News suspected something was awry over the weekend, when they spotted Cage in full flirting mode at a Maxim magazine Super Bowl party in New Orleans.

The 38-year-old Oscar winner--an Elvis fan who once donned the King's white jumpsuit for his movie Honeymoon in Vegas--began dating Lisa Marie in April 2001. At the time, Presley (who was once married to Michael Jackson) had just split up with fianc? John Oszajca.

Cage, meanwhile, was back in the single life after getting divorced from actress Patricia Arquette.

The pairing seemed to be a match made in genetically engineered entertainment-royalty heaven. Cage, whose credits include Gone in Sixty Seconds and Leaving Las Vegas, happens to be the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and is just one member of a Hollywood clan that includes actress Talia Shire, actor Jason Schwartzman and directors Roman and Sofia Coppola.

Presley, meanwhile, is the daughter of Elvis. 'Nuff said.
