After styling his mother’s hair from the age of eight or nine, Chris began working at a hair salon in his hometown of Leicester, England, at the age of 13.
There, he met Katie and went on to welcome two children with her.
He first became a father to son Billy at the age of 19 and welcomed Kitty-blu about two years later.

Chris came out as gay at the age of 26.
“I think coming out later on in life … was incredibly difficult because I had two kids,” he said on the Just B podcast in November. “I had a partner I’d been with for, like, 9 years, I thought I had it all figured out. Everyone else also thought I had it figured out.”
He said his “whole life changed” after letting go of “the guilt and the shame,” and Katie was “incredibly supportive” through it all.

Chris had a whirlwind romance with White Lotus star Lukas Gage, sparking dating rumors in February, 2023.
“I feel very happy, very lucky and very much in love,” Lukas said on the Today show in March, 2023. “He’s a good-looking man. Something about being in London, I got a taste of the Brits and couldn’t help myself.”

Kim and Chris began working with each other almost a decade back
@chrisappletonhairNine years ago in Paris, I started working with Kim—and we created a moment that would set the tone for so many more to come. That iconic straight hair wasn’t just a look, it was the beginning of something special. Since then, we’ve shared a lifetime of transformations—on the outside and in. We’ve been through marriages, divorces, milestones, and quiet moments in between. But through it all, I’ve had the privilege of standing beside someone who isn’t just beautiful, but loyal, strong, and real. I’m so grateful for the friendship, the trust, and the memories we’ve made. And after all these years, we’re still showing up—and still serving looks♬ I’m Just a Kid – Simple Plan
In a more recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian unabashedly said she would love to blow the stylist’s mind in the bedroom.
“Oh, I would f*** the s*** out of Chris Appleton. Totally. He’s so hot. Who wouldn’t? He’s such a vibe. I don’t know if he’d f***me, but I would f*** him,” she said during the season 6 finale of the Hulu reality show.
