Lukas Gage Breaks Silence: “I’m 10% Straight” — Inside the Shocking Post-Divorce Revelation

White Lotus and You actor Lukas Gage is once again redefining labels after declaring on the “In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele” podcast that he is “about 10 percent straight,” stressing that he still “hooks up with women” even after a highly publicized same-sex marriage and divorce from celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. Gage, 30, told host Owen Thiele that marrying Appleton on an episode of The Kardashians in 2023 “was pretty gay,” but added that his sexuality occupies a fluid spectrum: “There’s a little part of me that is straight.” When pressed, the rising star confirmed he has had “multiple, many” female partners and can be physically attracted to women, though he admits an emotional disconnect often ends those relationships quickly. The candid confession arrives during the promo cycle for his new memoir, I Wrote This for Attention, where Gage opens up about borderline personality disorder, addiction struggles and the fallout from his whirlwind wedding-divorce timeline. By leaning into total transparency on podcasts and in print, the San Diego native is turning past tabloid buzz into a carefully crafted narrative of self-discovery—an approach likely to resonate with younger LGBTQ+ audiences who reject rigid definitions of identity. Industry watchers say the timing is savvy. Gage has two queer-centric projects queued for 2026—the dark comedy Companion and Amazon Prime’s ensemble dramedy Overcompensating—positioning him as one of Hollywood’s most visible bisexual (or, as he jokes, “90 percent gay”) men. Authentic storytelling can translate to stronger box-office pull and algorithmic uplift on social platforms, especially when headline-friendly soundbites—think “10 percent straight”—feed SEO demand. For fans, the bigger takeaway is Gage’s call for nuance. His remarks challenge the “gold-star gay” concept and spotlight lingering biphobia within both straight and queer circles. As he put it, marrying a man on reality TV doesn’t erase the part of him that still enjoys certain straight encounters. Instead, his journey underscores how sexuality can evolve, resist neat categories and, in his words, remain “pretty f---ing gay” while still leaving room for unexpected attractions. With his memoir climbing preorder charts and the podcast clip racking up views, Lukas Gage’s honest—if provocative—math on sexuality is driving fresh conversation around labels, masculinity and what it means to own every chapter of your story.
