Some people pointed out how the man had a strong resemblance to Kim's hairstylist Chris Appleton, with one person explaining: "It's her hairstylist y’all." Chris also seemed to clear up the speculation as he wrote: "This was a good trip."

Kim and Chris have shared a very close relationship for years, with the reality star even acting as the officiant for Chris' wedding to Lukas Gage. The ceremony took place in the famous Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, with the couple being serenaded by Shania Twain.

Sadly, the union didn't last long and Chris filed for divorce from Lukas after just six months of marriage. He cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
