Recognized as the leader of a teenage robbery ring, he faced legal consequences for a series of home invasions and burglaries starting in October 2012.
Cage's upbringing was marked by challenges. He was raised by a single mother, who supported him and his three brothers without financial assistance from their absent father.
In March 2014, he was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
Despite his past, Cage aspires to become a devoted husband and father upon his release, revealing a sincere desire for positive change in his future.

Gathering her parents, Alexandru and Geta, Andreea revealed her intention to marry someone currently incarcerated, surprising them all. Despite her parents emphasizing the importance of commitment and effort in sustaining a long-term relationship, they looked skeptically upon her choice.
