Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and actor Lukas Gage have officially filed for divorce, as confirmed by recent court documents obtained by BuzzFeed and initially reported by TMZ. The couple tied the knot in late April, but their marriage came to an end after just over six months, with the date of separation listed as November 10th.
The legal grounds for the divorce are stated as “irreconcilable differences,” and it has been revealed that they had a postnuptial agreement in place, which ensures that each party will retain their individual assets.
Chris and Lukas first crossed paths five years ago at a party, but their relationship took a romantic turn following a direct message from Chris to Lukas last winter. Describing their connection as having a “childlike kind of innocence,” Chris spoke highly of Lukas, referring to him as “a great stepdad” to Chris’s children, aged 20 and 18.
Their Las Vegas wedding, where Kim Kardashian officiated and Shania Twain was in attendance, was featured on a recent episode of The Kardashians. Kim expressed her surprise at seeing Chris so thrilled and content, stating that it was “a whole different situation for him.”
It appears that Chris and Lukas are another couple who have succumbed to the unpredictable nature of 2023.
