Wedding bells are ringing in Las Vegas. Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton confirmed that they got married on April 22 after just two months of publically dating and weeks of engagement speculation. The newlyweds shared footage from their Las Vegas ceremony on Instagram, which included the help of two special celebrity guests.
It’s not known exactly when Gage, an actor seen on hit series like Euphoria and The White Lotus, and Appleton, a celebrity hairstylist who works with the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian, first met.
