Elliot Page just made his Pride Month celebration extra special — by going Instagram official with his new partner.

The Umbrella Academy star announced his relationship with comedian Julia Shiplett, who is currently featured in the Prime Video series Overcompensating, with an adorable Instagram post on June 28.

In the cozy snapshot, Page smiles widely as he leans over Shiplett’s shoulder while she takes a selfie of the pair on a vibrantly painted crosswalk. He opted for a minimal caption—using just a rainbow and double-heart emoji—allowing the picture to convey the message.

Earlier that day, Shiplett shared her own affectionate nod to their relationship via Instagram Stories, showcasing a sultry image of the shirtless Oscar-nominated actor relaxing in a hot spring. She playfully added “Happy prideee” alongside water droplet and exhaling emojis.

Page, 38, has been open about his relationships and queer identity since coming out as transgender in 2020. In his 2023 memoir Pageboy, he reflected on past romances with fellow actors Kate Mara and Olivia Thirlby, as well as a hidden relationship with an unnamed celebrity.

“My partner was more closeted than me for a change,” he 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 actor — who was married to dancer Emma Portner from 2018 to 2021 — said the secrecy eventually took a toll.

“It was not a sustainable relationship, just like when I had kept people hidden,” he shared. “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.”

Thankfully, Page seems to be in a much better place now. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times in June 2023, he reflected on the joy he’s found post-transition.

“I’m having the most fun I’ve ever had dating,” he said. “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.”
