The White Lotus star Lukas Gage looked stylish and composed as he stepped out for a public appearance on Thursday, following the news of his divorce from Chris Appleton. Chris, best known as Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist, filed for divorce just six months after their wedding, with fresh allegations of infidelity and controlling behavior coming to light as the reason for their separation.
Despite the turmoil in his personal life, Lukas, 28, appeared unfazed as he attended an elegant dinner for Longines at Soho House West Hollywood. The actor proudly displayed Longines’ new Legend Diver watch on his wrist, a subtle indication of the absence of his wedding ring.
Surrounded by fellow celebrities at the party, Lukas mingled with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, actress D’Arcy Carden, and record executive Charlie Christie. The public appearance comes just one night after Lukas attended the season premiere of Fargo, in which he has a recurring role.
Sources close to Lukas claim that he was the one to end the relationship, citing Chris’ alleged controlling behavior as the reason behind his decision. The couple’s short-lived marriage was also plagued by accusations of infidelity, with speculation about an open relationship and the timing of their divorce filing.
The former couple’s date of separation is listed as November 10, according to divorce records, and it has been revealed that they had a prenuptial agreement in place, making the split less complicated.
Amid the public scrutiny of their personal lives, both Chris and Lukas have continued to focus on their respective careers. Chris, a sought-after hairstylist for celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, and Lukas, known for his roles in The White Lotus and Euphoria, remain dedicated to their professional endeavors despite the end of their marriage.
