‘Nine years ago in Paris. Kim and I started working together, and we created a moment that would set the tone for so many more to come, Appleton wrote.

‘Since then, we have shared a lifetime of transformations-on the outside and in. We’ve been through marriages, divorces & milestones.’ 

He continued, ‘I am so grateful for the friendship, the trust, and the memories we’ve have made. But through it all, I have had the privilege of standing beside someone who is not just beautiful, but royal, strong, and real.’

Chris was  also by Kim’s side during her recent visit to Paris, where she appeared in court  to testify in the in $10M jewel heist trial stemming from the traumatic 2016 robbery during Fashion Week.
