Lukas Gage is not holding back in response to his ex-husband Chris Appleton’s surprise announcement of a new self-help memoir — especially since it’s set to drop just months after Lukas’ own upcoming book.
Caught Outside DOGPOUND: Lukas Reacts to Chris’ Memoir News
We caught up with Lukas at the trendy DOGPOUND Gym in West Hollywood on Monday. When asked about Chris Appleton’s new memoir, Your Roots Don’t Define You, Lukas revealed he was blindsided by the news but couldn’t help feeling a bit “honored” by the timing — hinting he’s more influential than he thought.
“I didn’t know about it, but I’m honored to be so influential that his book’s coming out right after mine,” Lukas quipped with a dry smile.
Lukas’ memoir, I Wrote This For Attention, is set to release this October, while Chris’ book hits shelves just three months later in January 2025.
Is This a Coincidence or Subtle Shade?
When pressed for more thoughts, Lukas didn’t dive deeper but gave a sarcastic nod to the timing being “coincidental.” Fans who know Lukas well won’t be surprised — he’s known for his subtle digs. Last year, he threw shade at dating apps in a comment many thought was aimed at Chris, though he later softened the blow, insisting there was no bad blood.
Behind the Scenes: Team Drama Over Release Dates
Sources close to Lukas tell us the actor and his team are less than thrilled with the close release dates. It’s clear there’s some tension brewing beneath the surface.
A Brief But Stormy Marriage Ends
The drama comes in the wake of Chris Appleton — the celebrity hairstylist famed for styling the Kardashians — filing for divorce from Lukas in November 2023. Their whirlwind marriage lasted only six months, with the split officially finalized this past June.
What’s Next Between Lukas and Chris?
When asked if he expects to be name-dropped in Chris’ memoir or how things currently stand between them, Lukas kept it cool but didn’t reveal much, leaving fans guessing about the true state of their post-divorce relationship.
