Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage’s marriage ended almost as quickly as it began, as news broke this week that the famous couple are divorcing after just six months of marriage. According to documents obtained by USA TODAY, Appleton filed for divorce from Gage at the Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the dissolution of their marriage.
According to the publication, both parties waived a request for spousal support, as decided in their pre-nuptial agreement. So far, neither party has commented on the reports of their divorce, and news of a prior separation before the divorce had not been known publicly.

Awards ceremony.
