This conspiracy theory about Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton’s breakup will shake you to the core

If you’ve been following the whirlwind romance of White Lotus and Down Low star Lukas Gage and celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, you’ve probably noticed that amidst all the gossip and speculation, there’s one fan theory that stands head and shoulders above the rest.

The pair got hitched in February, to the surprise (but not exactly shock) of exactly everyone. The star-studded impromptu wedding featured guest of honor (and Chris Appleton client) Kim Kardashian. The couple took Kardashian’s private jet to wed in Vegas, and the wedding recently aired on the recent season of The Kardashians.

…after which the couple promptly announced they’d called it quits.

Now fans are wondering—just when did the trouble in paradise start, and exactly how many NDAs were signed? Was the marriage all a sham? A stunt? Who and what can we believe anymore?

Surely the Kardashians don’t need a gay celebrity marriage to boost views for the show…or do they? Has it really come to this?

And get this…apparently, it’s a common thing to get married but not sign any paperwork. You know, just in case you need to divorce 6 months later!

But let’s be honest: Lukas Gage might have wanted to take a personal tour of the Kardashian jet and found the perfect way to do it.

Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: celebrity marriages don’t last, and love is dead.
