News of Shibata's pregnancy first broke in January.
This was after the movie star told Kelly Clarkson they had a baby girl on the way and planned to name her Lennon Augie as a tribute to John Lennon and Cage’s father, August Coppola.
“I’ll call her Lenny for short. I’m thrilled. It’s going to be the biggest adventure of my life," he said.
Cage has two sons Weston, 31, and Kal-El, 16, with exes Christina Fulton and Alice Kim, respectively.
