Lucas Gage and Chris Appleton put on a sweet show Thursday while they were out together in NYC.
The 27-year-old White Lotus star and 39-year-old hairstylist for Kim Kardashian wore casual clothes as they walked and boarded the subway.
At one point during their commute, Chris gently wrapped his arms around his younger beau and kissed his face.
The couple — who recently announced they’re in love — have remained close, and Appleton even carried a canned soda at one point.
Gage wore an elegant lavender hooded trench coat with black zipper detail while his counterpart wore a coordinating, structured dark shirt jacket.

Lukas wore light-coloured shorts and a pair of white New Balance sneakers.
His long, bleached hair was slightly slicked back and rocked a shade of dirty blonde beard.
He was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt with thumb holes under his outer layer on the sunny northeast day.
Meanwhile, Chris was wearing long black slouchy jeans over black and white Vans sneakers.
His short, dark brown hair was slightly spiky as it towered over his shorter friend.
It comes after Lukas gushes about his new love on a recent episode of the Today Show.
He shared with the hosts that he’s “very smitten” with his new beau after the pair seemingly confirmed their relationship via several Instagram posts last month.
After receiving a comment about his “phenomenal” hair and being asked how Appleton felt about it, the actor joked, “I think that guy needs taming.”

The star then followed up on the joke by saying, “I needed to be tamed, too.”
Lucas then took a more serious tone to share his true feelings about his relationship with Appleton.
“I feel so happy, so lucky, so much in love,” Lucas captioned the images of the couple then appeared on screen.
He added: He is a handsome man. There is just something about being in London. I think I tasted the British and… I couldn’t help myself.
After enjoying several more photos of him and the hair pro, he said, “We have fun together.” We go on adventures, and this is the best.
On the show today, the actor also talked a bit about his latest role as Adam, a social climber on the fourth season of the hit Netflix show You.
‘he’s crazy. This show is absolutely insane. My personality is crazy. It’s full of secrets, and it’s a pleasure to be a part of a show that’s so fun and crazy.
He revealed that he originally auditioned for the show’s lead role in its early days as the titular character Joe, played by Penn Badgley.
“I’ve pretty much tested every character in every season and just didn’t get it,” Lucas shared, laughing.

And Chris also had positive things to say about Lukas during his stop on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this month.
“I am so happy, I love so much and I feel so grateful to be able to spend my time with someone so special,” Appleton said to applause.
He added, “Love is a really special thing and I think meeting someone you really connect with is really special.”
Barrymore added that the hairdresser was “the best in the world” and “such a good person”, adding that she didn’t know anyone who deserved happiness more.
She shared a photo of the happy couple during their Mexican vacation, where they both sat on four wheels.
“Yeah, that’s Lucas in Mexico, it looks like they’re in an ad for something I want to be a part of,” Chris said while Barrymore joked.
Although it’s unclear when they met or started dating, their get-together in Mexico sparked romance speculation before they made their red carpet debut in March at the Vanity Fair Young Hollywood event.
Confirmed: The two showed off their relationship on social media from earlier this year
The fun: The two men enjoyed a foursome session, which later appeared on Instagram
talk with Hollywood Reporter Earlier this year, Luke said, “I think everything works out as it’s supposed to, but I haven’t always been able to see that,” he said. I get better at it every year. The older I get, the more I realize I have no control over anything.
It’s kind of like dating – when you’re looking for a partner, you never find someone. People can sense that you are trying too hard.
Gage said that “the best thing you can do in this industry is build an entire life out of your work and make your business just a part of that life.”
He added, “This is an accessory to my happiness, not the source of my happiness.”
