Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage's Divorce: A Brief but Intense Relationship

Just six months after their Las Vegas wedding, Chris Appleton decided to call it quits with his husband Lukas Gage, filing for divorce on November 13. The reason for the separation was cited as irreconcilable differences. A source in close contact with the couple told Life & Style, "Their courtship was brief before they decided to marry. Eventually, Chris came to the conclusion that he and Lukas weren't compatible. Their life goals were different."

Kardashian, who has first-hand experience with divorce, had urged Appleton, her longtime hairdresser, to sign a prenuptial agreement before his marriage to the actor of White Lotus. Kardashian, at 43 years old, even proposed drafting the prenuptial agreement herself. "Both Chris and Lukas planned to sign a prenup," the informant reveals to Life & Style, "but they never followed through." However, they did establish a postnuptial agreement a week-and-a-half following their April 22 ceremony, ensuring that both would retain their individual assets in case of divorce. "Kim surely is relieved for her friend," the source adds. "She knows better than anyone that even with good intentions, things may not work out. She is relieved that Chris heeded her advice."

Another source further elaborated to Life & Style, "They didn't take much time to understand each other. Their relationship was an intense whirlwind romance."
