Chris Appleton<\/a> has opened up about his former marriage to Katie Katon<\/a>, who he calls ‘Kate’ for short. Before coming out as gay in 2009, Chris was in a relationship with Katie Katon for eight years, who works as the managing director of hair salon George\u2019s Hairdressing.<\/p>\n

He is currently single but still considers his ex-partner his best friend. The hairstylist got into a relationship with while working at her salon as a teenager, before he moved to Los Angeles in 2016, and feared that he \u201cgave it all up\u201d for nothing. Well, he absolutely didn’t!<\/p>\n

Chris and Katie split in 2009 after having two children. “Me and Kate got together when I was 19. When we broke up when I was 27, it was really dark. When I came out as gay, she saw me, when I couldn’t see myself,” he told Great Company with Jamie Laing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
