Chris Appleton<\/a> is speaking out about his divorce from Lukas Gage<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The former couple went public<\/a> with their relationship in early 2023, got married<\/a> in April and then filed for divorce<\/a> six months later. <\/p>\n

While Lukas has previously addressed<\/a> their short-lived romance, the 42-year-old hairstylist has remained mum until now as he never thought he would talk about it publicly. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time I\u2019ve ever spoke about this. I think people have this perception, from social media probably, that I have it together. I work with these amazing people, life looks glamorous. So, from the outside it probably looks like I got it all together,\u201d Chris shared on the Jay Shetty Podcast<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut the truth is, especially during that time, I was going through a lot of private pain, and then you go with all the online speculation part,\u201d he continued. \u201cPeople say things about you, there\u2019s things in the tabloid and people have an opinion on your life. That can be incredibly intense, especially when you\u2019re just trying to deal with things.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI think for me, what really helped me was not being okay and, you know, I\u2019ve always believed in therapy and I work with a therapist to really sit in my feelings and really go through them and understand how I felt,\u201d Chris said. \u201cThat is really brutal to go through it, but for me, coming out the other side, there\u2019s a part of you that feels like you can, you know, reflect on it and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that one of the biggest lessons he learned was to find alignment and inner peace. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t an easy process, but I think when you align those two, when you genuinely feel good on the inside, I think that\u2019s when your real power comes in place,\u201d the celeb hairstylist continued. \u201cI think, just because there\u2019s a headline about you, doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you have to go explain to everyone about your life. And I think for me, I really wanted to deal with it with peace and deal with it my way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can love someone and there not be a forever happy ending,\u201d he added. \u201cI think you learn so much from it. I think any relationship I\u2019ve ever gone into I\u2019ve learned so much from it. I\u2019ve learned what\u2019s important to me in terms of boundaries, in terms of how I want to be loved, how I want to love. And that\u2019s a beautiful thing because it means you\u2019re always growing and evolving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris also hinted that he and Lukas didn\u2019t work out as they weren\u2019t aligned, and addressed moving fast in their relationship. <\/p>\n

\u201cMoving fast doesn\u2019t always mean you\u2019re reckless. I think sometimes it means you\u2019re hopeful,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I think any relationship I\u2019ve ever been into, I\u2019ve gone into with an open heart. And I have no regrets about that\u2026 I would rather love and fall than to never feel anything at all. And I think I\u2019d rather experience something and feel alive than to never put my foot out in the water. And I think as long as you\u2019re growing and evolving from it and things don\u2019t always go to plan, I think as long as you go through it and go through the process of healing, I think that\u2019s really important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAn ending doesn\u2019t mean it it didn\u2019t mean anything. It just means it ended,\u201d he added later. \u201cPeople love to say like oh I knew you know that would happen and that wouldn\u2019t last. But I don\u2019t know, I it\u2019s just who I am. I go in wholeheartedly into every friendship, every relationship, you know, every family member. And I\u2019ve learned to protect myself and also honor myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris and Lukas settled their divorce <\/a>in June 2024, seven months after their split. <\/p>\n
