Chris Appleton is getting back into the dating scene following his split from Lukas Gage. According to a source, the celebrity hairstylist has been seeing Federico Debernardi, a successful art dealer who values his privacy.

The insider reveals that the couple's relationship is still in its early stages, but they have already been on a few dates. Appleton, who is 40 years old, is said to be very pleased with how things are going.

Appleton's new relationship comes shortly after he filed for divorce from Gage, who is 28 years old. The reason cited for their split was "irreconcilable differences," according to court documents obtained by Us magazine.

Their separation date was noted as November 10, 2023, just one day before Gage and Appleton’s wedding was featured on an episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians. Kim Kardashian officiated the couple’s vows in Las Vegas in April 2023 and even advised them to get a prenup before the ceremony. (It was confirmed that a postnuptial agreement was signed in May 2023.)

Shortly after news of their separation broke, a source revealed exclusively to Us that their split was not on good terms.

The insider revealed that this was not the outcome they had hoped for. It will require some time for both individuals to heal and move forward in their lives.

Another source suggested that the reason behind their divorce was infidelity in their relationship. Allegedly, Gage was unfaithful to Appleton, leading her to discover the betrayal and end their marriage. The insider clarified that the couple had never agreed to an open relationship.

However, another source disagreed with the accusation and told us that Gage did not cheat on Appleton. They said that the couple's separation was friendly and not due to infidelity.

After the breakup, The White Lotus actor appeared to criticize Appleton indirectly. When questioned by TMZ about why he chose to use the Hinge dating app instead of Raya, he responded with a cryptic comment: "The real ones."

"We're good with influencers," he said. "We've already covered that."

On Monday, March 11, Gage addressed rumors about him dating Archie Madekwe. Jokingly calling Madekwe his husband, Gage clarified to TMZ, "No, we're just friends. Archie is a great guy."

He continued to gush over Madekwe, saying, “I’ll take it as a compliment [that people think we are dating]. Archie is a hottie. He’s a good one.”
