Who is Chris Appleton’s husband?

Chris Appleton doesn’t boast the name recognition of the Kardashian who officiated his wedding earlier this year, but he’s got plenty of high-profile connections.

He’s also found a certain fame of his own, albeit a slightly less public one. Among the celebrity hairstylist’s clientele, however, he’s a household name, and that prominence among the A-listers has earned Appleton some major name recognition. That and his recent marriage — which was, unfortunately, quickly followed by a divorce — all of which linked him up with a rising star and guaranteed that Appleton’s connection to Hollywood remains nice and strong.

In case you’re not overly familiar with the man, Appleton is a well-known celebrity hairstylist with a laundry list of A-list clientele that includes the likes of Kim Kardashian ⏤ the same Kim Kardashian who officiated Appleton’s April wedding to 28-year-old Lukas Gage. Gage is still on the rise in Hollywood, so his name may only be familiar to fans of his specific work, but he’s digging in roots. Within a few years, he could be competing with the likes of Tom Holland.

Gage was married to 40-year-old Appleton in a Las Vegas ceremony, which Kardashian was more than happy to officiate for her “hair husband.” The pair has enjoyed a working relationship for years, and, as such, the nuptials were aired on the new Kardashians series.

The couple was married for right around half a year before their impending divorce was announced. In mid-November, news broke that Appleton was seeking divorce from Gage. He cited “irreconcilable differences” in the proceeding, and — with a pair of prenups in place — its likely the process should go nice and smooth. By the end of the year, both Appleton and Gage may be single once again.
