Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist Chris Appleton was seen taking a splash with Bachelor alum Tyler Cameron at a Miami beach on Friday.
This follows Chris’ split from his husband, White Lotus star Lukas Gage.
The media personality, 41 – who finalized his divorce in June – enjoyed time on the shore with Cameron, 31, amid Miami’s Art Basel which concludes on December 8.
Appleton – who is known for working with other A-list celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez – notably separated from Lukas last year in November after only six months of marriage.
He confidently showed off his sculpted abs while cooling down in the waves as he sported a pair of green swim trunks. Chris additionally opted for a silver-chained necklace and was seen flashing a cheerful smile as the warm sun shone down.
Cameron is best known for dating supermodel Gigi Hadid, who now romances Bradley Cooper.

Chris, who works with Khloe as well, seems to be in the best shape of his life
Tyler – who was the runner-up on the 15th season of The Bachelorette – donned a pair of black swim trunks during the relaxing outing.
The reality star also made a guest appearance during the 25th season of The Bachelor which aired back in 2021.
At one point, Chris was seen jumping onto Cameron’s back as they cooled down in the water.
The TV personality – who teased he is in a new relationship to Page Six in April – later filmed the hairstylist as he jogged down the shore while holding an orange paddle board in his hand.
Appleton’s latest outing comes after his divorce from Gage was finalized earlier this year in June – with the pair asking the court to sign a written agreement waiving spousal support, People reported at the time.
The celebrity hairstylist and Smile 2 actor began dating in February 2023 and tied the knot only two months later.
The former couple said ‘I do’ in Las Vegas at the Little White Chapel – with Kim Kardashian notably officiating the nuptials.
Only six guests were in attendance, and the ceremony was shown during an episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians.
Shania Twain also performed for the former couple to celebrate the special moment – and sang her hit track You’re Still The One.

However, after just six months of marriage, Appleton and Gage announced their shock separation on November 10 of last year.
Chris then officially filed for divorce days later and cited ‘irreconcilable differences.’ The two stars also had a prenuptial agreement in place.
At the time, a source told DailyMail.com, ‘Lukas broke it off because Chris was controlling and possessive, and he really thought that he was the most important person on earth.’
They claimed Appleton ‘filed first to save face’ and added he ‘conveniently waited until after the wedding episode aired on the Kardashians. Everyone thinks it’s so shady.’
However, a separate insider expressed, ‘There was never an open relationship, Chris never cheated on Lukas. The timing of the filming is irrelevant to the episode, there was no choice but to file when he did.’
‘There was a side to Lukas that Chris did not see prior to the marriage and this being Chris’s first marriage he went with a lot of love.’
Back in March, Lukas had branded the decision to marry after only two months of dating as ‘manic and unhinged.’
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the topic of the split was brought up.

Following the wedding, the Euphoria star admitted to the host that he ‘had a manic episode for six months.’
When Cohen questioned what had happened, Gage replied, ‘I don’t know literally what went through my head. But we live and we learn.’
Andy then discussed cheating rumors that had been circulating, but the actor shut down the allegations and said, ‘There was no cheating.’
In regards to saying ‘I do’ after only dating Appleton for two months, Lukas expressed, ‘Yeah, that’s kind of how I roll.’
‘I’m a little impulsive. But that was probably one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever done in my life, and I’ll probably have six other marriages.’
Also during his appearance on WWHL, Gage apologized to Twain for ‘wasting’ her time by performing at the nuptials.
‘I mean, “We’re still holding on, you’re still the one,” after three weeks, that was unhinged. That was like the biggest waste of her time. I love you Shania, I’m really sorry about that.’

Appleton is also father to two children, son Billy, 22, and daughter, Kitty, 20 – whom he shares with ex Katie Katon.
The former couple were in a relationship before the celebrity hairstylist came out as gay at age 26.
He made an appearance on Bethenny Frankel’s Just B podcast last month, and reflected on coming out.
‘I think coming out later on in life – I was 26 – was incredibly difficult because I had two kids, I had a partner I’d been with for nine years, I thought I had it all figured out. Everybody else also thought I had it figured out.’
‘So when you’re all of a sudden then changing the record, people are like, “Well, you must have always known,” and I didn’t realize I did.’
He later added, ‘It sounds cheesy, but there’s honestly so much power in living authentically and being authentically yourself.’
‘I think once I let go of all the guilt and shame of it all, my whole life changed. I moved to America, it was amazing how much grew and changed.’
Chis also expressed to Frankel, ‘I didn’t see myself for 26 years. 26 years of my life, I didn’t see myself – I didn’t let myself see myself.’
‘And it wasn’t until someone said to me, “You’re allowed to see yourself, you’re allowed to be that person, you don’t have to feel guilty.” My whole life literally changed. And I never want to be back in those chains.’
