White Lotus actor Lukas Gage and renowned hairstylist Chris Appleton have ended their marriage after six months. Appleton, 40, stated "irreconcilable differences" as the grounds for their divorce, as per court documents obtained on Monday, November 13. TMZ initially reported the news, revealing that this was a challenging decision for Appleton, but ultimately the right choice for his future.
The date of their separation was recorded as Friday, November 10th, merely a day after Gage and Appleton tied the knot in a Las Vegas wedding officiated by Kim Kardashian. This momentous occasion was showcased on the latest episode of The Kardashians, released through Hulu on Thursday.
"Wait, it's essential for you to have a prenuptial agreement," Kardashian, 43, insisted to Appleton on the episode, playfully referencing her former spouse Kanye West's hit track "Gold Digger."
Furthermore, Kardashian emphasized, "Regardless of your possessions, identity, or profession, a prenup is a must-have for us. We strongly believe in a prenup."

Appleton then FaceTimed Gage, and Kardashian was quick to share the same advice.
"Allow me to offer you a valuable suggestion as a lawyer: Consider having a prenuptial agreement," she advised the actor. "I am confident that I can even assist you in drafting it if you'd like."
We can confirm that a postnuptial agreement was executed on May 3.
Appleton finally confirmed their long-speculated relationship in March amid ongoing rumors.
"I couldn't be happier; I am deeply in love," he enthusiastically revealed during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. "Feeling immense gratitude for having the opportunity to spend time with someone truly exceptional. Love is an extraordinary experience, and finding that special connection with someone is truly remarkable."
In April, we exclusively revealed Appleton and Gage's engagement. According to a source, although they haven't made it public yet, they have already informed their close friends about their engagement. Interestingly, they decided to get engaged before obtaining rings and then went together to select them.
The insider described them as a "wonderful couple," emphasizing that despite their fast-paced relationship, those around them were thrilled about their connection.
They tied the knot in April, with the wedding announcement being made on Instagram on the 26th of that month.
"We accomplished it," Appleton shared on social media, while both donning coordinating black fur jackets, when they exchanged vows.
Prior to their wedding ceremony, Kardashian pleasantly surprised Appleton and Gage with a captivating rendition of Shania Twain's "You're Still the One." (According to The Kardashians, it was revealed that this song held special significance for Appleton and Gage.)
“This is the best moment of my life,” Gage said on the show. “Oh my God, Kim I f–king love you.”
