Elliot Page Debuts Romance With Overcompensating Star Julia Shiplett
Elliot Page is celebrating Pride month in a big way.
The Oscar-nominated actor made his new romance with Overcompensating star Julia Shiplett official as he shared a sweet photo of the two on social media June 28.
In the pic posted on Elliot’s Instagram page, the 38-year-old flashed a wide grin while leaning over Julia’s shoulder as the comedian, also 38, snapped a selfie of the two standing on a rainbow-paved road. He appeared to let the image speak for itself, captioning the post with a rainbow emoji and a double-heart emoji.
Hours earlier, Julia—who plays Mimi in the Prime Video series—shared her own social media post featuring the shirtless Umbrella Academy star relaxing in a hot spring. She also included an exhaling emoji and a water droplet emoji in the Instagram Stories post, along with the caption, “Happy prideee.”
Elliot, who came out as transgender in 2020, has been candid in the past about his relationships with the likes of Kate Mara and Olivia Thirlby, which he described in his 2023 memoir Pageboy. The book also included his recollection of a private romance he once shared with an unnamed celebrity, whose sexuality was kept secret at the time.
“My partner was more closeted than me for a change,” Elliot wrote. “We were together for almost two years, and even some of my closest friends were not aware I was in a relationship. Her parents did not know.”
The Juno star, who was married to Emma Portner from 2018 to 2021, detailed how he and his mystery partner worked to keep their connection out of the spotlight before ultimately calling it quits.
“It was not a sustainable relationship, just like when I had kept people hidden," he continued. “People didn't ‘think she was queer,’ but they definitely assumed I was, and I don't think she could handle the shame. Ultimately, she had to do what was best for her, and unfortunately it resulted in my heart being shattered.”
Fortunately, Elliot seems to have had had better luck in love since his transition, telling the Los Angeles Times in June 2023 that he was having “the most fun I've ever had dating.”
“Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected,” he added, “because I'm not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.”
