Lukas Gage Denies Dating Saltburn Star Archie Madekwe






Lukas Gage, widely recognized from his roles in popular series such as Euphoria, has been navigating both personal and professional landscapes with notable developments. Despite recent rumors linking him romantically to Saltburn star Archie Madekwe, Gage has clarified the speculation surrounding their relationship, asserting they share a platonic bond despite playful banter that suggested otherwise.

At a high-profile Hollywood event last week, Gage humorously referred to Madekwe as his โ€˜husband,โ€™ sparking widespread conjecture about their relationship status. However, in a recent encounter with TMZ at LAX, Gage set the record straight, emphasizing their strong friendship and dismissing any romantic involvement.

โ€œMe and Archie? Yeah, he’s not (my boyfriend).โ€

โ€œLook, I’ll take it as a compliment. Archie’s a hottie, yeah, he’s a good one. No, we’re not married. He’s a friend,โ€ he continued.

When asked who his current, ‘celebrity crush’ was, he said it was his Road House co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.

Gageโ€™s personal life has undergone significant changes, particularly highlighted by his marriage to Kim Kardashianโ€™s hairstylist Chris Appleton in April 2023.
