Lukas Gage is single, and he’s searching for some “real” love on dating app Hinge. Cue the Mary J. Blige!
In case you missed it, The White Lotus actor called it quits with celeb hair stylist Chris Appleton after six months of marriage back in November. RIP Love. 💔
Apart from a sly joke about short-term relationships at a private event, Gage has remained fairly tight-lipped about his divorce… until now.
How about we take this to the next level?

The 28-year-old seemingly threw shade at his ex after being flagged down by TMZ in West Hollywood over the weekend.
Referencing viral screenshots from Gage’s new Hinge profile, a reporter asked why he wasn’t on uber-exclusive celeb dating app Raya.
His response? “The real ones, we don’t need any more influencers. We’re good, we’ve done that already.”
Oop! 👀
That being said, we’re sure the Fargo star won’t be hard-pressed to find potential suitors who won’t milk their relationship for views on The Kardashians on “the dating app designed to be deleted.”
Alongside a handful of handsome pics, screenshots of his profile reveal the prompt: “Together we could instagram @lukasgage.” (Never a bad time to increase that follower count!)
Still, his answer to the app’s “best travel story” question might just be the best thing we’ve ever heard.
In fact, Gage even shared the apparent audio from his profile on Twitter X, and it’s a hilarious longwinded story from his BFF and fellow actor Megan Stalter.
“Best travel story? OK, that’s gonna take me longer than 30 seconds,” Stalter begins, before recounting a made-up vacation at a Florida resort with a “really nice slide.”
So nice, in fact, that a daughter named Madeline was left at an airport for three days. (Can someone please green-light a Lukas/Megan buddy comedy ASAP?!)
Speaking of travel stories, Gage also weighed in on the recent White Lotus Season 3 casting news.
Leslie Dibb, Jason Isaacs, and Michelle Monaghan are all checking in, but Gage is especially excited to watch queer icon Parker Posey.
“That’s my girl,” he told TMZ. “You can’t beat [Jennifer] Coolidge, untouchable. But Parker Posey’s the second best thing you can get.”
We’re sending Lukas good luck in his single journey, especially as he deals with the inevitable dating app screenshots. (Can we leave that in 2023?!)
And for those who don’t get a match on Hinge, you can catch Gage alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Amazon Prime’s upcoming action flick Road House.

I mean, he did agree with have a very public relationship mere weeks after dating, agreed to get married a mere few months after dating and agreed to make a spectacle of their wedding. He may have indeed fallen in love and was blinded. But he needs to take some responsibility. Also, throwing shots online isn’t a good look. However, yes, Chris Appleton does come off like a leech and user and living Ken doll with all the fillers and plastic surgery.

Agree with your entire post, except this was mutually beneficial to both. They both milked it. Getting attention can be a bitch.

I kinda felt sorry for him – a hairdresser – that’s like dating a bartender – new face – new fancy as my mom used to say. I always got the impression that Lukas as a bit innocent
Good luck to him – onward and upward

Fortunately for you, not many hairdressers and bartenders read Queerty. LOL

Innocent my Ass! He brought everything upon himself or was co-conspirator, shall we say, so don’t go feeling sorry for this dude who obviously is a bit trashy trying to get as much attention as possible. It’s always a 2-Way Street, dudes!

Not quite sure how you have come to the conclusion that he is trashy. I think he is just a young kid finding his way through the mess of a world we live in. But, your comment begs the question, do you live in a glass house? Would love to know your past….

Hey it is a 2-wau street. But when you are young and still deciding who you are you make mistakes. Appleton is a leach and an predator in getting attention. He knew what he was doing, as he’s done it before (Derek Chadwick). Gage will always be the class act to the life sucking Appleton who his friends are (Kardashias) also soul sucking limelight wannabes. Good luck to Gage learn from your mistakes and listen to those closest to you.

best (free) publicity he’s going to get this year. As it goes, not such thing as bad publicity.

I don’t blame Lucas for avoiding dating another “influencer.” Those jokers are posing for selfies all day long, thirsting for continuous online validation. They just want someone who will advance their phony 24/7 self-promotional bullshlt. It’s exhausting, and it’s why 2-dimensional selfie Antoni Porowski got dumped by hot fiancé Kevin Harrington just before the wedding.

Well… good for him. It sounds like he more or less over it.

Hmmm… I wonder if “Quizzily” would consider adding a choice of “Sucks and a waste of time” to the final question?

You know the marriage was doomed bc Kim K officiated.

good for Luke getting away from that crazy, abusive, narcissistic , plastic Mr. potato head. I mean between Luke, Sam and all the other exes he’s hit and verbally abused I’m surprised he can get a date. For christ’s sake his own kids don’t even like him. Maybe instead of getting liposuction and face filler and putting himself on a 5150 hold. He should actually dedicate some time to some therapy. I mean who else is gonna do the difficult task of plopping a wig (that someone else cut, colored and styled ) on every client.
