LUKAS Gage has slammed his six-month marriage to Kim Kardashians’s close circle member, Chris Appleton, as a manic episode.
The White Lotus actor admitted he lost himself while guesting on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen.
Lukas, 28, joined Andy, 55, to promote this new film, the Amazon Studios remake of the Patrick Swayze led-action drama, Road House.
The remake stars Jake Gyllenhaal, 43, in the lead role of Elwood Dalton while Lukas takes on the supporting character, Billy.
While on the hot seat, the questions quickly shifted away from the You actor’s film career toward his personal life after fans inquired about dating now that he’s newly single.
Communicating over a video call, a pair of “virtual fans” asked Lukas, “How has online dating been going now that you’re single? And do you ever run into people who think you’re catfishing as Lukas Gage?”
An exasperated Lukas responded, “It’s not going well,” before admitting, “Oh God, it’s horrible.”
He added, “I’m dating myself right now.”
Andy replied, “You couldn’t find a better lover.”
The talk show host then piggybacked off the fans’ question when he stated, “I will say, as someone who likes you socially… I was surprised that you got married after dating someone for two months.”

Andy asked, “What is that?” as he inquired further about Lukas’s marriage to Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist, Chris Appleton, 40.
“I had a manic episode,” Lukas admitted.
Andy pushed on, “You got married in fur coats by Kim Kardashian in Las Vegas, what happened?”
The American Vandal star coolly replied, “I don’t know, literally, what went through my head but we live and we learn.”
He then looked uncomfortable as Andy bluntly asked, “What was the reason for your divorce?
“It was days after The Kardashians episode aired when you got married and then suddenly you’re getting divorced [and] there are allegations of cheating… what can you tell us?”
Still visibly uncomfortable Lukas answered, “There was no cheating… oh God, Andy there’s a three-letter thing that I signed.”
Shocked, Andy questioned, “Oh, you signed an NDA?” to which Lukas mumbled, “I plead the fifth.”
Andy then reminded the Euphoria actor, “You did say you’re in love and this is great.”
Lukas flatly stated, “Mania.”
He then explained, “That’s kinda how I roll. I’m a little impulsive but that was probably one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever done in my life and I’ll probably have six other marriages.”
THE DIVORCE
Chris Appleton filed for divorce from Lukas after six months together in marriage.
Chris appeared in court on Monday, November 13, 2023, according to TMZ.
He listed their date of separation as Friday, November 10.
A source close to the couple informed the publication that Chris did not take the decision lightly.
The hairstylist supposedly tried everything to salvage their marriage.
Chris believed he was making the best decision for himself as he moved forward with the divorce.
The separation came after Kim’s trip to the couple’s Las Vegas wedding aired on The Kardashians.
Kim, 43, officiated the wedding during the episode of the Hulu show.
CHEATING SPECULATION
According to Us Weekly, a source close to the couple claimed, “Lukas cheated on Chris and Chris found out over the weekend.
“That’s the reason [Chris] filed.”
However, a second source reporting to the same outlet has claimed that the split was entirely amicable.
The insider claims infidelity was never a part of it.
Chris cited “irreconcilable differences” when he filed for divorce.
In early April, a source revealed to Us Weekly that the fiancés were secretly engaged.
The insider stated: “They’re not telling the public yet, but they have told friends they are engaged.
“They got engaged before they even had rings and then went to pick them out together.”
The source continued: “Friends think they are a great couple.
“Even though they moved very quickly, everyone around them is very excited about their relationship.”
