‘Road House’ Star Lukas Gage Apologizes For ‘Wasting’ Wedding Singer Shania Twain’s Time After Quick Divorce

When Road House actor Lukas Gage married celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton on a whim in Las Vegas six weeks after their first official red carpet appearance together last spring it seemed like a whirlwind love story. But now Gage is in apology mode to the A-listers who helped the couple tie the knot after the marriage lasted less than eight months.

“Literally, I don’t know what went through my head. I don’t know what happened. The fur coats was a horrible idea,” Gage said of the couple’s matching matrimonial animal pelt coats during an appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday (according to The Hollywood Reporter). “I want to apologize to Shania Twain for wasting her time.” (For the record, Gage said the choice to wear the coats was “not mine.”)

The mea culpa to the A-list country icon came after Twain serenaded the couple with her 1998 hit “You’re Still the One” at the ceremony, which was also officiated by one of Appleton’s most famous clients: Kim Kardashian.

“I mean, ‘We’re still holding on, you’re still the one’ after, like, three weeks? That was unhinged. That was like the biggest waste of her time. But, I love you, Shania. I’m really sorry about that,” Gage said, noting that it was still “really cool” to have Twain on hand for the wedding.

Gage also apologized to Kardashian, saying that the Skims mogul is “great. She was really sweet to fly us all out and take care of us and pay for everything.” The couple split less than seven months after the wedding, with Appleton filing for divorce on Nov. 13 citing “irreconcilable differences.”
