Lukas Gage is speaking about the rumors that circulated after his divorce from Chris Appleton.
Four months after the split from the celebrity hairstylist, the Euphoria alum, Lukas, reflected on the situation on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“I had a manic episode for six months,” he told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live March 19. “I don’t know what went through my head, but we live and we learn.”
Lukas and the Color Wow global creative director tied the knot last April, just a few months after sparking romance rumors, with Chris’ pal Kim Kardashian officiating the Las Vegas ceremony. However, Chris filed for divorce from The White Lotus star in November, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The 28-year-old was quiet on what made the relationship go south hinting at signing at NDA, but he did set the record straight stating, “There was no cheating,” Lukas explained, adding, “Andy, there’s a three-letter thing that I signed.”
Looking back, however, he acknowledges his decision to get hitched to Chris, 40, was impulsive.
“That was probably one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever done in my life,” Lukas admitted but also joked, “I’ll probably have six other marriages.”

The former couple did have some loving words about their romance. A month before their wedding, Lukas even gushed over his relationship with Chris.
“I feel very happy, very lucky and very much in love,” he told Today in March 2023. “He’s a good-looking man.”
Chris Appleton even gushed about his feelings on Gage while chatting with Drew Barrymore.
“I’m very happy,” he said on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in March when asked if he was seeing anyone. “Very much in love, and I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special.”
He added, “Love is a really special thing, and I think meeting someone that you really connect with is really really special.”
And a day after the nuptials, Chris accepted the Hair Artist of the Year honor at The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Awards and he couldn’t help but give his new husband a loving shout-out.

“Thank you to Lukas for being my rock and putting up with me,” Chris shared. “And making me feel perfect when I know I’m not.”
A source close to Appleton and Gage, told TMZ at the time which was the first to break the news, that the decision to call it quits was not “an easy one” for the famed hairstylist to make.
The insider said Appleton did his best to make the marriage work but needed to make the best decision for himself moving forward.
