Celebrity hair guru Chris Appleton and actor Lukas Gage are calling it quits after just six months of marriage, ending their honeymoon phase.
Appleton, famous for styling the hair of big stars like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, officially filed for divorce from Gage, known for his roles in “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus.” The legal move took place on Monday at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, as revealed in documents obtained by USA TODAY.
The reason behind the breakup, as stated by Appleton, is “irreconcilable differences.” The couple officially went their separate ways on Friday, according to the legal documents.
For comments on the matter, USA TODAY has contacted representatives for both Appleton and Gage.
Despite their short-lived marriage, the couple did not have any children together. In terms of financial support, Appleton has requested to eliminate the court’s authority to grant support to either himself or Gage.
This aligns with the terms outlined in their postnuptial agreement signed in May, where both Appleton and Gage voluntarily gave up their rights to spousal support, as reported by USA TODAY.
Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage’s love story
Appleton and Gage’s separation comes after a fast-paced love story. The rumors about their relationship began swirling in February when Appleton posted a photo of them together during a Mexico trip.
Confirming their romance in March on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Appleton expressed his joy, saying, “I’m very happy. I’m very much in love, and I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special. Love is a really special thing.”
In a surprising twist, Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton got hitched in a low-key Las Vegas ceremony in April. Kim Kardashian played the role of officiant for the ceremony. This happened just a month after the couple publicly announced their relationship.
Adding to the special day, country legend Shania Twain serenaded the pair with their favorite song, “You’re Still The One.” The couple, going for a rock ‘n’ roll vibe, sported matching black fur jackets, glimmering open shirts, and leather pants, according to USA TODAY.
Expressing gratitude, Appleton took to Instagram to give a “big thank you” to Kardashian and Twain while commemorating their wedding. He happily declared, “we did it 💍.” Gage echoed the sentiment, sharing the same photos and videos on his Instagram with the caption, “ring finger where the rock is.”
In April, at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards, Kardashian took a moment to honor Appleton, who received the Hair Artist of the Year award.
During Appleton’s speech, Kardashian interrupted briefly to congratulate him on his relationship with Gage, who was also present at the ceremony. She shared, “I am so happy he’s in a relationship right now, and that it’s, like, out there. I’m so tired of all my girlfriends and guy friends asking me if you’re available.”
