The "White Lotus" actor and the hairstylist have an ironclad prenuptial agreement as stated in the document. Regarding the separation of their assets and debts, Appleton wants to execute it "pursuant to the parties' Prenuptial agreement executed May 3, 2023. All assets and obligations of each party are his separate property."

The same goes for the rights to the community property and assets attained during the course of their short-lived union. Appleton also wants attorney fees to be paid by both him and Gage.

Gage and Appleton first sparked romance rumors in February after they posted about a joint trip to Mexico and got flirty with one another in the comments.

However, during a New York Times interview published the day after, Appleton became cryptic about his love life when asked about their flirty Instagram posts. "If they want to think that, they can. I'm a pretty open book about most things in my life, but I have a problem with the culture of everyone needing to know everybody's business and nothing can be sacred," he said of fans' interest in his love life. "It's a weird line that I'm still trying to figure out."

Finally, during an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," the creative director for the haircare brand Color Wow confirmed he and Gage were an item. "I'm very happy. Very much in love, and I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special," he told Drew Barrymore. "Love is a really special thing, and I think meeting someone you connect with is really, really special."

The "Euphoria" actor shared a similar sentiment during his appearance on the Today Show weeks later. "I feel very happy, very lucky and very much in love. He's a good-looking man. Something about being in London, I got a taste of the Brits and couldn't help myself," Gage said of his partner.
