Now fans believe that Chris Appleton, 40, and his husband Lukas Gage, 28, tied the knot just for The Kardashians on Hulu.

The speculation began after the couple’s wedding was documented on last Thursday’s episode of the reality show.

The news broke shortly after that the hairstylist and his partner had filed for a split – almost immediately after the episode aired.

FAN THEORIES

One fan took to their TikTok profile to share their suspicions about the timing of the events.

“Chris Appleton filed for divorce from Lukas Gage after six months of marriage which is interesting because it’s less than a week after their episode of The Kardashians which is centered on their Vegas wedding asking Kim to officiate, having Shania Twain surprise them to perform on their wedding day less than a week after that aired.

“Hmmm… and their listed date of separation is last Friday which is literally the day after that episode dropped on Hulu,” they explained.

“Listen, I hate to see people get divorced but something about this timing just makes you think,” the user closed.

Others took to the comments to share their own opinions on the divorce, many claiming the pair tied the knot “just for show.”

“I love a good PR marriage,” one wrote.

“I thought this entire marriage was odd,” a second confessed.

“It’s called entertainment – nothing filmed in reality land is ever real,” a third suggested.

“Publicity stunt,” a fourth put shortly, while a fifth noted: “Are we shocked honestly though?”

“Chris was all over Kim during this episode and did not pay much attention to Lukas… it felt like an Ad partnership with Las Vegas,” a final claimed.

CALLING IT QUITS

Chris appeared in court on Monday morning, according to TMZ, where he listed his date of separation from Lukas as Friday, November 10.

A source close to the couple told the publication that Chris did not take the decision lightly.

Kim’s hairstylist supposedly tried everything to salvage their marriage.

Chris believed he was making the best decision for himself and moved forward with the divorce.

WEDDING BELLS

The divorce came after Kim’s trip to the couple’s Las Vegas wedding aired on the latest installment of The Kardashians.

During the Hulu show, the Skims founder officiated the wedding.

While the reality star documented her special role for the cameras, Chris took to Instagram back in late April and shared his big day with his social media followers.

During the nuptials, Kim stood before the happy couple at the altar and recited from a piece of paper.

The former E! star donned a skintight black dress, and matching heels, and combed her long dark hair straight down.

The grooms rocked matching black pants, furry coats, and boots while the exes held hands.

As the photo collection continued, the newlyweds posed underneath a sign for The Little White Chapel, then on the steps of Kim’s $150 million private jet, and with the beauty mogul herself outside the chapel.

The trio then posed with country singer Shania Twain, 58, who performed for the newlyweds at a private concert.

Shania performed her song, You’re Still the One, as Chris and Lukas, 28, danced and sang along to the romantic lyrics.

Chris gushed in the caption: “We did it. Big thank you to @kimkardashian & @shaniatwain.”
