Chris Appleton may be most recognized for his work as a celebrity hairstylist, but he’s also got a full plate when it comes to his family life. The world-renowned hair guru is the proud dad of two adult kids, whom he shares with ex-partner Katie Katon. The former couple, who seem to have coparenting down pat from the looks of their Instagram pages, dated prior to Appleton coming out as gay in 2009.
Speaking to The New York Times in February 2020, Katon shared that Chris poured himself into his work while keeping his personal life a secret. “Hiding who you are for so many years causes a lot of pain inside, wouldn’t it?” she said. “The way Chris dealt with that pain was trying to be the best he could be in other areas.”
Most recently, Chris married “The White Lotus” actor Lukas Gage in April. On April 26, Chris confirmed that he and Gage had tied the knot with the help of pal Kim Kardashian and Shania Twain. “We did it,” he captioned a series of Instagram photos from the beautiful occasion, adding a “big thank you” to both the reality star and the singer. While Appleton’s daughter, Kitty-blu, shared some of her own photos from the wedding on Instagram, his son, Billy, is a bit quieter on social media.
