Reality TV viewers were surprised in April as Lukas Gage, 28, an actor known for his role on season one of The White Lotus, and Chris Appleton, 40, hairstylist to Kim Kardashian and other A-list celebrities, exchanged vows in a surprise Las Vegas wedding. As if this wasn’t a surprise enough, the wedding was actually officiated by Kardashian herself, who also arranged for music superstar Shania Twain to sing the couple a heartfelt song.
However, it has come to light that the honeymoon period has been cut short, as Appleton filed for divorce just six months later, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’ The couple’s date of separation was listed as a Friday, and it is noted that they have a prenuptial agreement in place. An insider source said that the split was a difficult decision for Appleton, but he needed to make the best decision for himself moving forward.
The couple made their romance public in February, when they shared vacation snapshots from The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort in Mexico. Their wedding was attended by only six guests at the famous Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, where celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have also tied the knot.
Appleton’s two children from a previous relationship were among the guests and a picture of them with Kim Kardashian was circulated on social media. Gage shared how happy and in love he was while speaking about Appleton on various shows. Appleton, on his part, expressed gratitude for being able to share his time with someone special. The couple’s endearing love doesn’t align with the fact that they are parting aside.
Gage and Appleton are both well-known individuals in their respective fields, with Gage having starred in popular TV shows like The White Lotus, You, and Euphoria, and Appleton boasting an impressive client list that includes celebrities like Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa.
This whirlwind romance and its subsequent dissolution hold a lesson for all of us: even the most surprising circumstances can bring unpredictable outcomes. Love, they say, is a rollercoaster – and this ride was no exception.
