Lukas Gage describes his six-month marriage to Chris Appleton as a “manic episode”

Lukas Gage looks back on his six-month marriage with regret.

The 28-year-old “White Lotus” star spoke to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” about his marriage to Kim Kardashian’s hairdresser Chris Appleton and subsequent divorce from him in the same calendar year.

“I had a manic episode for six months,” Gage said, asking, “What happened to me? I don’t know exactly what was going through my head, but we live and learn.” He also described his behavior as “completely crazy.”

Gage denied rumors of infidelity in the relationship, telling Cohen that there was “no fling.” However, he declined to reveal further details about the divorce, suggesting he could not do so due to a nondisclosure agreement.

“There’s a three-letter thing that I signed,” Gage said.

Chronicle of the relationship between Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton

Gage and Appleton sparked relationship rumors in February 2023, and Appleton confirmed the romance the following month on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” “I am very much in love and feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special,” he announced at the time. “Love is a very special thing.”

That same month, Gage said on the “Today” show that he was “very happy” and “very much in love.” In April of that year, he and Appleton married in Las Vegas, with Kardashian officiating. But in November, Appleton filed for divorce from Gage in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.

Shania Twain sang “You’re Still The One” before Gage and Appleton’s ceremony, and on “Watch What Happens Live” the actress apologized to the singer for “wasting her time.”

“After three weeks, still saying ‘you’re still the one’?” he asked. “That was complete insanity. That was the biggest waste of her time, but I love you, Shania. I’m so sorry.”

Gage also apologized to Kardashian, saying it was a “terrible idea” to get married in fur coats. When Cohen asked whose decision that was, Gage replied, “Not mine.”

Appleton has also worked with clients such as Jennifer Lopez, while Gage has appeared in “Euphoria,” “You” and the new remake of “Road House” starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
