On Wednesday, the celebrity hairstylist rang in his 40th birthday with his inner circle, including his new husband, 28-year-old actorLukas Gage, who threw a surprise party in Turks and Caicos for his beloved’s special day.
The couple kicked off the intimate bash on a 40-foot Van Dutch private yacht fromRED Hospitality & LeisureandCaicos Luxury Charters.
Gage and Appleton were escorted to the Blue Haven Marina from their oceanfront villa before heading off on a two-hour sunset sail to Grace Bay on their “Princess Grace” boat.
Bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne, charcuterie boards and a coconut-flavored birthday cake decorated with blue icing, oceanic-like ribbon and the message “Happy Birthday Chris!” scribed in brown icing were catered on the boat for the group to enjoy.
After keeping the romantic fête a secret since they touched down on Saturday, June 10, Gage was able to share bits and pieces on Instagram.

Appleton also posted his own photo to Instagram, which showed him sitting on a rock with his feet in the water andposing shirtless. “It’s my birthday, and I’ll cry if I want to,” he captioned the image.
The couple left shortly after, Gage writing, “Turks n cuckoos happy birthday to the best lad of lads.”
