Lisa Marie Presley has had a complicated love life. Particularly, her third marriage with Nicolas Cage was the focus of many because they met when they were both involved with other people. People reported Cage met Lisa Marie at a party celebrating her father’s life. At the time, she was reportedly engaged to musician John Oszajca, while Cage was in an estranged relationship with Patricia Arquette.
Describing their first encounter in an interview with ABC, Cage said he was enamored by Lisa Marie’s beauty: “I walk into a party not knowing who I’m going to meet, and there’s this beautiful girl standing in the middle of the living room wearing this short leather skirt and this fluffy jacket, and she looks up at me with these big, beautiful, soulful eyes that look like they have a sad story to tell, and I just went ‘Oh.’ I was thunderstruck.” He continued, “And we got to talking, we got to know each other, and she’s hilarious and she’s a real firecracker and she tells it like it is.”
From there, Cage admitted he and Lisa Marie “got into this unfortunate pattern of breaking up, getting back together again.” During their breaking-up phase, Lisa Marie’s 6 carat diamond engagement ring was thrown into the ocean mid-fight, according to ABC News. Though divers were hired to find the ring, it was never found. Cage made it up to Lisa Marie by buying an even bigger ring, but their marriage did not last.
