Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about his divorce from actor Lukas Gage<\/strong><\/a> for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was definitely the first time that I\u2019d experienced that magnitude of people being so invested in my private life,\u201d Appleton, 42, said on the Wednesday, August 6, episode<\/a> of Jay Shetty<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cOn Purpose\u201d podcast. \u201cPeople have this perception from social media [that I] probably have it together. I work with these amazing people, [and my] life looks glamorous. From the outside, it probably looks like I got it all together, but the truth is, especially during that time, I was going through a lot of private pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appleton and Gage, 30, confirmed their romance in February 2023, two months before Us Weekly <\/i>broke the news<\/a> in April 2023 that the twosome were engaged. Appleton and the White Lotus <\/i>alum got married that same month in a ceremony officiated by Appleton\u2019s longtime client Kim Kardashian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Us <\/i>confirmed in November 2023 that Appleton filed for divorce after six months of marriage. They reached a divorce settlement<\/a> in June 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat really helped me was not being OK, and I\u2019ve always believed in therapy,\u201d Appleton said on Wednesday\u2019s podcast episode of dealing with the breakup. \u201cI work with a therapist to really sit in my feelings, and really go through them and understand how I felt. That was really brutal to go through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that Appleton has come \u201cout on the other side,\u201d he\u2019s been able to move on from his whirlwind marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest lessons I learned is finding alignment from what I do is all about [the] visual. It\u2019s what I\u2019ve done my whole life,\u201d Appleton explained. \u201cWhat people see of me is this visual representation of Chris Appleton. But, I think, for me, there was a real piece in finding alignment and inner peace on the inside. That wasn\u2019t an easy process. \u2026 When you align those two, I think that\u2019s when your real power comes into place.\u201d<\/p>\n
