Elliot Page seemingly hard launches his new girlfriend on Instagram
Elliot Page closed out Pride weekend with an Instagram post that needed only two emojis to make his point. In the photo, Page and Overcompensating actress and comic Julia Shiplett leaning into each other in matching dark jackets and sunglasses, the pavement beneath them painted in vivid rainbow stripes, was captioned simply with a rainbow and a double heart emoji. Within minutes, everyone had the same takeaway: the Umbrella Academy star just hard-launched his first public relationship since transitioning in 2020. For Page, 38, the reveal marks a new public chapter after several very private ones. He came out as transgender in December 2020, divorced dancer Emma Portner five months later, and wrote candidly in his 2023 memoir Pageboy about past relationships with Kate Mara, Olivia Thirlby, and an unnamed closeted actress. Last summer, he told the Los Angeles Times that post-transition dating felt 'the most fun I've ever had,' crediting a newfound ease in his body for deeper connections. Saturday's grin seems to prove it. See on Instagram Shiplett, best known for her dry-as-dust turns in Prime Video's queer rom-com Overcompensating and cult favorites High Maintenance and Love Life, seemingly confirmed the news in equally word-sparse fashion. Her Instagram Story showed Page standing shirtless in a steaming hot spring, the caption reading, 'Happy prideee 💦😮💨.' — (@) Shiplett, 38, has also built a stand-up following by skewering bisexual panic, awkward hookups, and millennial ennui—material that dovetails neatly with Page's dry humor. The pair has so far kept specifics offline, and representatives for both declined to comment. Still, the timing of the post on Pride's final weekend reads like a deliberate love letter to the community that has championed Page's journey from Juno breakout to trans icon. Until we see them on a red carpet or trading giggles in someone else's selfie, that single rainbow road will have to suffice. But for now, Pride 2025 ends with a reminder that queer joy and a well-placed emoji can light up an entire feed.

Elliot Page debuts first romance since marriage split
Elliot Page has debuted his first public relationship since his 2021 divorce. The 38-year-old actor celebrated Pride month by unveiling his new romance with Overcompensating star Julia Shiplett, 38, with a sweet post on Instagram. Elliot shared a picture of them cuddling on a street painted rainbow and captioned the picture with rainbow and double heart emojis. Julia also shared some pictures of Elliot shirtless in a hot spring to her Instagram Stories. She added the exhaling and the water droplet emojis and wrote: 'Happy prideee.' This is the first public romance for Elliot since his marriage to Emma Portner ended four years ago. The pair tied the knot in 2018 and Emma was publicly supportive when Elliot came out as transgender in December 2020. However, they filed for divorce in January 2021 and revealed they had been secretly separated since the previous summer. They said in a joint statement at the time: 'After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer. We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.' While Julia is Elliot's first public partner since the split, he revealed previously that he was enjoying dating following the divorce and his transition. He told the Los Angeles Times: 'It's the most fun I've ever had dating. Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected, because I'm not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.'

'My partner was more closeted than me for a change,' Page wrote. 'We were together for almost two years, and even some of my closest friends were not aware I was in a relationship.
