Actor Lukas Gage has finally opened up about his short-lived marriage to celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, calling it a “fever dream” that spiraled faster than he ever expected. For months, fans have speculated about what went wrong — and now, he’s ready to talk.
Gage and Appleton’s romance captured headlines when they married just weeks after going public as a couple. Their surprise wedding, officiated by Kim Kardashian, was splashed across every major tabloid. But just six months later, the marriage was over.
In a candid new interview, Gage revealed that while the love was real, the pressure of living a public relationship was overwhelming. “I think everything moved so fast that I didn’t have time to breathe,” he said. “It felt like I was watching someone else’s life.”

The couple faced constant media attention, paparazzi, and social media commentary. Every photo, every gesture, every silence — it was analyzed to exhaustion. Gage admitted that the spotlight created tension neither of them was fully prepared for.
“I don’t regret it,” he added. “It was real, and I learned a lot. But it was intense — a fever dream I woke up from too quickly.”
Fans flooded his comments with support, praising his honesty and vulnerability. Several of his celebrity friends also chimed in, reminding followers that public figures are still human.
Lukas Gage’s story isn’t just about a breakup. It’s a raw reminder of how love and fame don’t always mix easily — and how honesty can turn a tabloid headline into a human story.
