Chris Appleton has moved on from his ex-hubby Lukas Gage … and is now dating a new guy who has no ties to Hollywood.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the celeb hairdresser, known famously for having Kim Kardashian as his client/BFF, is now casually dating a regular dude — who happens to be a bona fide hottie — named Federico.

The two were first photographed in public together during Oscars weekend at L.A.’s famous Chateau Marmont.

Our sources tell us the pair hit it off after crossing paths through mutual friends about a month ago, and right now they’re keeping things laid-back and just seeing where it takes them — pretty much how everyone rolls when they’re vibing with someone new.

We’re told after Chris’ split from Lukas, he was open to something completely different and this is a welcomed change he’s not dating someone in the Hollywood scene.
While it’s unclear exactly what field Federico works in, he’s a smarty pants as we’re told he’s a graduate of Harvard … so one can assume he has a pretty solid gig career-wise.

Chris is definitely feeling good about moving forward, and it sounds like Federico’s fitting right in with his crew — we’re told he’s even met some of Chris’ pals, who are giving him a thumbs up!
As we reported … Chris called it quits with Lukas in November, just 6 months after their quickie Vegas wedding at the Little White Chapel officiated by Kim K. Chris listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The couple did have a prenup.

Chris and Lukas are making moves post-split … Lukas went all-in and hopped on Hinge in January to find new love — but now he says he’s all about dating himself.
It’s all about self-love, right?
