Chris Appleton Spills The Tea On His Whirlwind Romance With Lukas Gage

Chris Appleton's Candid Confession

Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton is finally breaking his silence on the emotional rollercoaster that was his marriage and subsequent split from actor Lukas Gage. During a recent heartfelt podcast appearance, Appleton shared the challenges he faced during the six-month union, admitting he was grappling with "a lot of private pain" that wasn't visible to the public eye.

The pair, whose marriage was officiated in a glamorous Las Vegas ceremony by none other than Kim Kardashian, quickly became the talk of the town with their fast-paced romance. However, the fairy-tale turned sour as Appleton filed for divorce in November 2023, not long after their vows. Now, Appleton is offering a glimpse into what truly transpired between him and Gage.

“I think people have this perception, from social media probably, that I have it together… From the outside it probably looks like I got it all together. But the truth is, especially during that time, I was going through a lot of private pain,” he revealed.

No Regrets, Just Lessons

Despite the brevity of their marriage, Appleton insists he holds no regrets. "Moving fast doesn’t always mean you’re reckless. Sometimes it means you’re hopeful," he expressed, emphasizing his belief in approaching relationships with an "open heart." To him, the end of a relationship doesn't negate its significance. "An ending doesn’t mean that it didn’t mean anything. It just means it ended," he noted wisely.

In a light-hearted metaphor, Appleton touched on the concept of "alignment," likening it to home buying preferences. "I like bright and lots of space; I don’t like confined and dark. Some people do. And that’s OK. We’re just not aligned," he mused, hinting at the differences that may have contributed to the split.

A Journey to Self-Discovery

While Lukas Gage had previously described their marriage as a "manic episode," Appleton's reflections add depth to the narrative, highlighting his journey of self-discovery. He shared insights into what truly matters in a relationship, including boundaries and the way he wishes to be loved. Therapy and emotional processing have been crucial in helping him navigate these personal revelations.

As Appleton continues to learn and grow, his story serves as a reminder that even the most public relationships can teach private lessons. The hairstylist's candid revelations offer a refreshing take on the complexities of love and the importance of staying true to oneself.
