He also has a 25-year-old son, Weston, from a previous relationship with model Christina Fulton.
There is a 20-year age-gap between Nicolas and Alice, and the star previously revealed his Korean mother-in-law was unimpressed when she first met him.

He said: 'When my mother-in-law came to the house for the first time, before even hello or nice to meet you, all I got was, "She's too young!" And so I knew this was going to be an uphill battle.'
Nicolas added that he 'made a clear decision' to marry into another culture, saying: 'I made a very clear decision to marry out of my own zip code.
'I mean, way out of my own zip code. I married into another culture, and it's interesting because in Korea they call me the Son-in-Law.'
He revealed the couple's wedding was pushed forward so that Alice could travel with him to South Africa while he was making Lord Of War, explaining: 'You can connect the dots... and we did it because we loved each other.'
Craving one! It was time for a smoke break for the actor's date as she stepped outside
Calling it quits: The actor separated from wife Alice Kim, 32, in January after 11 years of marriage and their split was announced on Friday. They have a 10-year-old son together
