Riko further teamed her outfit with a black purse and a yellow bag, and appeared to go makeup-free for the flight.
Meanwhile the little one – named after Cage’s late father August – looked adorable in a pink Disney puffer jacket, blue jeans, striped socks and a cozy white beanie.
Riko gave birth to the couple’s baby daughter, full name August Francesca Coppola Cage, at a hospital in Los Angeles.
August is Riko’s first child and Nicolas’ third.

After getting engaged on FaceTime, the couple tied the knot at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas in February 2021.
Nicolas confirmed the wedding news himself in a statement to DailyMail.com: ‘It’s true, and we are very happy.’
