‘Jenifer is my first love, my only love and my last. She is the love of my life and I am committed to her forever,’ he expressed to the outlet.
‘What I have with Jenifer is a God-given divine phenomenon, and therefore it is incomparable. She is the love of my life, and our special love is uncanny.’
Weston – who has previously been married three times – further gushed, ‘I am honored to be with the absolute love of my life. We look forward to changing the world and making our legacy.’
While he has yet to share the happy news to social media, the performer uploaded a sweet selfie with his fiancée on Thursday.

He could be seen hugging Jenifer from behind as she quickly snapped the photo in the reflection of a mirror.
And one day before confirming his engagement, Weston shared a post that included two images of the lovebirds.
In one picture, the two could be seen posing outside while a tree close by in the distance was lit up with colorful lights.
The music artist penned in the lengthy caption, ‘I love you more than any man has ever loved in the history of humanity. That astronomically immeasurable love multiplies in every second.’
He then said that Jenifer is his ‘first love, only love, the love of my life and my last love.’
Weston later added that his partner ‘saved my life’ and added he ‘was born for you and I truly can’t wait to change the world with you.’
He also credited Jenifer with his sobriety journey and wrote, ‘The way it was always supposed to be shall always be and I love you galaxies above human love.
‘You get the greatest version of me and that shall exist within my art as well. I can’t wait to release all my love songs to you.’

Late last year in November, the couple went Instagram official as he shared a photo of the pair embracing.
The actor also revealed that both he and Jenifer – whom he called his ‘twin flame’ -were ‘born in the same hospital’ and ‘grew up in the same area.’
Weston – who is the eldest child of Nicolas Cage – has been married three times in the past.
Back in 2011, he tied the knot with first wife Nikki Williams but the two went their separate ways the next year.
In 2013, he said ‘I do’ to Danielle Cage but the pair divorced in 2016. The former couple also welcomed two children named Lucian and Sorin.
Weston then married Hila Cage Coppola in 2018 and the two share twins Venice and Cyress. Last year in July, their divorce was finalized.
The musician’s latest engagement news comes shortly after his mother Christina Fulton broke her silence after suing ex Nicolas Cage over Weston’s ‘vicious attack’ on her.
Last month, it was revealed that she is suing both the actor and their son Weston following an alleged physical altercation that took place in April 2024.

This week on Monday, the actress spoke to TMZ about holding her ex accountable after their son allegedly assaulted her.
Before she entered a courthouse in Los Angeles, Christina declared she had been ‘heartbroken … for a very long time’ over her treatment by both her son and the Los Angeles Police Department.
She accused officers of having left her alone ‘on the ground, bleeding,’ after her son allegedly attacked her.
‘I have done this alone, I have been left alone – if not blocked,’ she continued, before clarifying that she was accusing Cage of preventing her from addressing Weston’s issues.
Fulton previously accused her ex of ‘enabling Weston his whole life,’ which she says led to his allegedly aggressive behavior.
She said that her son was in the midst of a ‘manic rage’ before he was arrested for attacking her.
On Monday, Christina emphasized that she ‘love[s her] son,’ but she thinks he now needs ‘tough love’ to address his issues. She also clarified that she sees him as a victim of a ‘mental health crisis epidemic.’
The actress said she hoped to ‘be here’ for ‘mothers’ in similar situations, but she also wanted to support her son to help him get the appropriate treatments.
When she was asked why she was suing Nicolas, Christina responded: ‘I’m holding everyone responsible.’

She stated that the actor is Weston’s father and claimed that he could have done ‘a hell of a lot more’ to help their son and maintain her safety.
When she was asked if she and her son had attempted to make amends, she simply responded, ‘We’re in court.’
Christina then took a long pause and shook her head before indicating that Weston hasn’t yet gotten any of the treatment she’s hoping for.
Fulton filed her lawsuits against Cage and their son after Weston allegedly assaulted her in April 2024.
The actress – who dated Cage from 1988 through 1991 – submitted a civil complaint to the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County earlier this month, per the Los Angeles Times.
She is suing Cage for ‘negligent supervision and negligent undertaking’ of their son. Christina is also suing her son for assault, battery and negligent and intentional inflection of emotional distress.
The Hard Drive actress previously claimed that the 34-year-old ‘brutally assaulted’ her during a mental health crisis near his home, which left her with ‘severe and life-threatening injuries.’
Weston – who has since pleaded not guilty – was arrested in July 2024 on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, and was released on a $150,000 bond.
Nicolas Cage’s lawyer hit back at Fulton’s claims in a statement to People after her lawsuits were filed.

‘The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous,’ they said. ‘Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston’s behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston’s alleged assault of his mother.’
Last month, the pair were spotted at the assault trial in Los Angeles, which was granted a continuance and delayed.
Fulton is also requesting unspecified damages for the ‘catastrophic physical, emotional and economic harm she has endured due to an unprovoked attack by their son, Weston.’
In the complaint, the star claimed that Nicolas enabled their son’s behavior – despite being ‘aware’ of Weston’s ‘long history of mental and psychological disorder.’
‘Weston has a long history of mental and psychological disorder and a history of committing violent assault and battery and harming numerous individuals,’ the suit stated, according to People.
‘Nicolas has been aware of Weston’s history and nevertheless failed to take action to prevent Weston from committing acts of violence and harming others.’

Christina also claimed that her ex further enabled Weston’s ‘reckless’ lifestyle and behavior such as drinking alcohol together ‘despite knowing his substance abuse history.’
She also alleged the Longlegs actor bailed their son out of jail on more than one occasion, paid his son’s rent at a condo in L.A. and did nothing to ensure that Weston received ‘necessary psychiatric’ help.

In the complaint, Christina claimed that the alleged assault that took place in April of last year ‘devastated Fulton’s thriving career as a former model, actress and entrepreneur.’
At the time, she had been working on a Netflix project which she had to halt and had been involved in other business ventures which were also ‘jeopardized.’
In January, Fulton also accused Nicolas of ‘enabling’ their son following the alleged April 2024 attack.
Weston and Fulton both arrived separately at an LA court in January for the assault trial, with Fulton’s attorney Joseph Farzam accusing Cage of ‘enabling Weston his whole life’, leading to his alleged aggressive behavior.
The scuffle between Weston and Fulton occurred on April 28 in the Los Angeles area, when a verbal dispute reportedly turned physical.
‘On April 28th, 2024, around 5:30 p.m., I received urgent messages from friends of my son, Weston Cage, regarding his deteriorating mental state, urging me to come help,’ Fulton said in a statement obtained by People.
‘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,’ she claimed.
‘Despite my desperate pleas to the responding police officers to detain him for a mental-health evaluation, the police officers refused my request.’
Fulton added in her statement: ‘As a mother, I am deeply saddened and concerned about Weston’s ongoing mental-health crisis. It is imperative that he receives the help he desperately needs.’
The LAPD confirmed that Weston was booked for assault with a deadly weapon – just weeks after his mother was spotted with intense bruises on her face.

The LAPD also confirmed with People the arrest was made in direct connection to the alleged April 28 altercation.
Weston’s case was submitted to the district attorney’s office on May 10 and on June 26 the DA filed two counts of assault with a deadly weapon against him. An arrest warrant was later issued.
The actor was released on a $150,000 bail around 10am. The U.S. Sun reported that his father is believed to be the one who bailed him out.
An ambulance was reportedly called to the home to check out Fulton, but she declined to be taken to the hospital, TMZ reported at the time of the alleged incident.
It is not the first time the son of the National Treasure actor has been in trouble with the law, as he was arrested in 2017 got DUI and a hit-and-run.
Police said that he hit multiple parked cars, signs and mailboxes before he crashed his car into a tree. After being taken to the hospital, he was charged with a DUI and arrested on $30,000 bail.
In 2011, he faced domestic violence charges after he had a dispute with his ex-wife Nikki Williams, according to ABC News.

In November 2023, both Weston and Fulton filed a lawsuit against Weston’s ex-wife Hila Arounian.
They alleged she embezzled $100,000, engaged in a smear campaign against them and requested a ‘fraudulent restraining order’ that stopped Fulton and her family from seeing Weston’s twin girls, Venice and Cyress.
