Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage are one of the hottest new celebrity couples of 2023.

As if that wasn't exciting enough, Shania Twain also serenaded the couple with a performance of her hit single "You're Still the One."

In an interview with The New York Times, Gage was asked if his Instagram photos with Appleton were meant to be a relationship announcement. Instead of setting the record straight, the actor neither confirmed nor denied anything.

"If they want to think that, they can," Gage said about fans taking their posts as confirmation they're dating. "I'm a pretty open book about most things in my life, but I have a problem with the culture of everyone needing to know everybody's business and nothing can be sacred. It's a weird line that I'm still trying to figure out."
