Elliot Page and Emma Portner announced their divorce in 2021 after three years of marriage. This came after their separation the previous summer so it was no surprise, but the couple added, “We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.” Through their separation, Portner has supported Page publicly after he came out as transgender.

Chris Appleton files for divorce from Lukas Gage after six months of marriage

14/11/23 | StarsInsider

CELEBRITY Lgbt

Celebrity couples may quit each other, but we just can't quit them! How many former couples do you wish would get back together? Probably a handful...

The draw that fans feel towards famous couples is often amplified when dealing with queer couples. That's due to the representation they offer, and their subsequent status as role models, whether they like it or not. While such representation isn't all that rare today, it certainly was previously, even as recently as the '90s and early 2000s.

When 'White Lotus' star Lukas Gage and celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton got married in Vegas in May, they were the queer "it" couple of the season. With Kim Kardashian officiating and Shania Twain serving as the wedding singer, what could go wrong? Sadly, Appleton has filed for divorce from Gage, citing irreconcilable differences and a separation date of November 10. The couple had been married for almost seven months. Neither party has publicly addressed their split so far. While the relationship may have burned out rather quickly, it certainly shined bright while it lasted.

Let's face it: certain LGTBQ celebrity exes hold a special place in our hearts. Fortunately, there are plenty of photos around that enable our gushing over the good old days.

Up for a stroll down memory lane? Then click through this new gallery for a total throwback.
