The Whirlwind Romance and Kim Kardashian's Role in the Wedding
The relationship between Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage was a true Hollywood whirlwind. They made their relationship public in early 2023 and were married just two months later.
The couple tied the knot in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony in April 2023. The wedding was a star-studded affair, though intimate, and featured a very special officiant: Chris Appleton’s longtime client and friend, Kim Kardashian.
Further adding to the spectacle, the wedding included a private performance from music icon Shania Twain, who sang her hit "You're Still the One" for the newlyweds. The entire event was later featured on an episode of the Hulu reality show, The Kardashians.
Despite the grand, public start, the marriage itself was short-lived, lasting only six months before Appleton filed for divorce in November 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences."
The 'Brutal' Divorce: Private Pain and an 'Act of Defiance'
The dissolution of the marriage has been a major topic of discussion throughout 2024 and 2025, with both Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage finally opening up about the experience. The separation was swift, with the divorce settlement reached quickly, waiving spousal support for both parties.
Chris Appleton's Side: The 'Private Pain'
In interviews given in mid-2025, Chris Appleton described the period following the separation as involving "a lot of private pain" and being "brutal." He explained that he had initially stayed quiet about the split to navigate the difficult emotions away from the public eye. Appleton maintained a positive outlook, stating that despite the pain, he had "no regrets" about the experience.
The celebrity stylist, who is a proud father of two, has often discussed the importance of prioritizing his children, Kitty-Blu and Billy, during difficult times. His focus on family and career—working with clients like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian—helped him move forward from the short but intense marriage.
Lukas Gage's Perspective: An 'Act of Defiance'
Lukas Gage offered a different, equally compelling explanation for the rapid marriage. In an exclusive interview, Gage revealed that the marriage was, in part, an "act of defiance" against allegations of "queerbaiting" he had faced from the public. By quickly and publicly marrying a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ community, he felt he was making a definitive statement about his identity and relationships.
The actor has also expressed that he does not regret the marriage, even though it ended quickly. This candid commentary from both parties provides a rare look into the pressures and complexities of quick, high-profile relationships in Hollywood, especially when navigating public identity.
Chris Appleton's Current Dating Status: Moving On with a 'Harvard Grad'
Following the finalization of his divorce from Lukas Gage, Chris Appleton's love life has remained a subject of intense media scrutiny. While he has kept his new relationships private, recent reports from late 2025 suggest he is officially moving on.
According to reports, Chris Appleton is currently dating a new partner described as a "normal" person and a "Harvard Grad." This suggests a conscious shift away from the high-profile, celebrity-driven relationships that characterized his marriage to Lukas Gage. While the new partner's name has not been widely confirmed, the detail of him being a "Harvard Grad" hints at a partner with a non-entertainment background.
This new, low-key approach seems to reflect Appleton's desire for stability and privacy after the intense public drama of his six-month marriage. As he continues his work as one of the world's most sought-after hairstylists, his focus remains on his career, his children, and a more grounded personal life.
