Lukas Gage's Star-Crossed Vegas Wedding Nearly Ruins Acting Career
EXCLUSIVE: Lukas Gage Spills Tea on His Whirlwind Marriage to Kim Kardashian's Hairstylist Chris Appleton
In a shocking revelation, White Lotus heartthrob Lukas Gage has spilled all about his tumultuous marriage to none other than Kim Kardashian's hairstylist Chris Appleton. The 30-year-old actor, who was once considered a rising star in Hollywood, revealed that the brief but dramatic union nearly derailed his acting career.
Gage and Appleton tied the knot in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony officiated by none other than Kim K herself in April 2023. The nuptials were also attended by music legend Shania Twain, who performed a stunning rendition of "You're Still the One." However, their whirlwind romance came to an abrupt end just seven months later when they filed for divorce.
In a candid interview with The Independent, Gage opened up about the aftermath of their split, stating that it had a devastating impact on his career. He claimed that casting agents and studios began to view him as "too much of a public persona," making it challenging for him to land roles in upcoming projects.
But what drove Gage to marry Appleton in such a high-profile manner? Sources close to the couple revealed that they were only dating for two months when they decided to tie the knot, sparking speculation about their motivations. In an explosive interview, Gage confessed that he felt "overwhelmed" by the backlash he faced while playing a gay character on The White Lotus.
"I was dealing with people coming for me, being like, 'Why is he stealing a gay role? He's just a straight guy, how dare he'," Gage recalled. The actor also empathized with fellow LGBTQ+ star Kit Connor, who faced intense scrutiny after playing a gay character in Netflix's Heartstopper.
Gage and Appleton's marriage was also marred by rumors of infidelity, which both parties vehemently denied. However, an NDA signed between the couple raises questions about what really went down behind closed doors. When asked about the allegations during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Gage cryptically replied, "Oh, god. Andy, there was the three-letter thing I signed."
As their divorce proceedings continue to unfold, Gage has spoken out about the "manic" decision-making that led him to marry Appleton in the first place. Insiders close to the couple revealed that they had a postnuptial agreement in place, which would have ensured that neither party was entitled to spousal support.
The documents filed with the Superior Court of California show that both parties have waived their right to spousal support, and instead opted for a clean break. The proposed judgment also reveals that Gage's marriage to Appleton has left him financially strained, but he is determined to bounce back from this setback.
In an exclusive statement to TheScholarlyNote.com, a source close to the couple revealed, "Chris was heartbroken when Lukas filed for divorce. He tried everything to make the marriage work, but ultimately needed to prioritize his own well-being."
As Gage looks to rebuild his career and move on from this tumultuous chapter in his life, fans are left wondering: what's next for this talented young actor? One thing is certain – he won't be losing any sleep over this scandal anytime soon.
