Weston Cage Coppola, Nicolas Cage’s eldest son, revealed in a 2023 court document that he still received a monthly allowance of $7,300 from his dad. The information surfaced amid the “Mojave Diamonds” star’s child support battle with Hila Coppola Cage, his estranged wife and the mother of his children. In early 2023, Hila sued the Eyes of Noctum lead singer for additional spousal support and $4,634 in monthly child support for their twin daughters, Venice and Cyress. She also demanded Weston pay her $30,000 in legal fees. In the real estate broker’s court filings, she claimed Weston led a “lavish lifestyle” thanks to monthly trust fund payments of $16,666 from his dad.
Refuting the purported amount of his allowance, Weston — without naming Hila — wrote a lengthy June 2023 Instagram post directed toward “those who are insidiously inspired by my fame and the fame of my family,” the Daily Mail reported. Defiantly titled “Justice for Weston Starts Now,” the now-deleted post featured a photo of Weston and father Nicolas. Disabusing anyone with the notion “that my father, uncles, and I will be catering to their dreams of making people famous,” the great-nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola claimed he was being held “hostage with smear campaigns.”

As reported by Radar, the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge wasn’t having any of Weston’s arguments. In August 2023, the judge slapped him with an order to cough up his ex-wife’s legal fees in three sizeable installments of $10,000 each, all due by January 15, 2024.
