Chris Appleton Confirms He's Dating & 'In Love' With Lukas Gage

After weeks of dating rumors between Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage, the celebrity hairstylist has now confirmed the news on TV.

While filming a segment for The Drew Barrymore Show, the host asked Appleton how his “libido” has been doing as of late.

“It’s pretty good, actually,” he responded. Barrymore then asked if there was anything he’d like to share with her on the show. Appleton said:

“I’m very happy, very much in love. I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special. Love is a really special thing. And I think meeting someone that you really connect with is really, really special.”

Barrymore proceeded to sing Appleton’s praises and called him “the world’s greatest catch.” The show then popped up a picture of Appleton and Gage from their trip to Mexico.

In the social media post for the video, the official account for The Drew Barrymore Show also identified actor Lukas Gage as the man that Appleton was talking about.

Though Gage had recently noted that he didn’t like the speculation surrounding his alleged relationship with Appleton, it seems like they’re now ready to spill the beans and tell the world about their love story.

Congratulations to the now-official new couple!
