Weston Cage, the son of famed actor Nicolas Cage, is officially engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Jenifer Alexa Canter. The 33-year-old proposed to Jenifer, whom he describes as his “first and only love.” According to Weston, the couple’s bond has been strong for years, and he believes Jenifer saved his life, helping him overcome addiction.
“I’m so happy now that my sobriety isn’t even a struggle. I can’t imagine returning to active addiction as I now have all that I’ve ever wanted. Thank God I don’t have to pretend to be happy anymore,” Weston shared with TMZ. The couple has been involved in several joint projects, with Jenifer also making her mark as an actress in short films.
Despite Weston’s joyous news, his mother, Christina Fulton, is navigating complex emotions. While she has expressed happiness for her son, her past experiences with Weston have left a lasting impact. Christina, who has been vocal about the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of her son, told TMZ, “I hope his mental health is being addressed first and foremost. At the end of the day, he’s my son, and I want the best for him. However, my pain and suffering this past year as his mother will never go away.”
Christina’s painful experience stems from an incident in April 2024 when Weston was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after an alleged attack on her. She described the harrowing event in a statement: “When I arrived to offer support and console him, he was already in the midst of a manic rage. Within minutes, I was brutally assaulted and sustained serious injuries.”
Following Weston’s arrest, Christina filed a lawsuit against him and his father, Nicolas Cage, claiming that the actor enabled his son’s behavior, which allegedly led to the assault. Weston pled not guilty in July, and the ongoing legal battles have only deepened the tension between him and his mother.
While Weston celebrates his engagement to Jenifer, it appears the strained relationship with his mother remains unresolved. Christina has been clear that she will not be attending his wedding, as the trauma from the past still lingers.
Though it is a significant and joyous moment in Weston’s life, the unresolved family struggles remind us that not all celebrations come without pain. For now, Weston Cage and Jenifer Alexa Canter are looking forward to a future together, while Christina Fulton continues to navigate the emotional aftermath of the past year’s events.
