Elliot Page opens up about coming out as transgender

Umbrella Academy actor Elliot Page is on the dating scene.

A source tells Page Six that a profile that purports to be Page, who divorced Emma Portner in January, has been spotted on the ultra-exclusive dating app Raya.

The profile includes pictures of Page with his dog and a shot of him posing in a sweatshirt that reads “protect trans kids.”

The song Don’t Let It Bring You Down by Annie Lennox and Steven Lipson accompanies the profile.

The invite-only site is known for its celebrity users. Ben Affleck, Matthew Perry, Channing Tatum, Lizzo, John Mayer, Drew Barrymore and Chelsea Handler have all been on the app at some point.

Page, 34, announced last December on Instagram that he is transgender saying, “Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life.”

And he said, “I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self.” He went on, “I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive.”

Page also pledged to help others. “To all trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better,” he said.

Following the announcement, Portner wrote “Trans, queer and nonbinary people are a gift to this world. Elliot’s existence is a gift in and of itself. Shine on sweet E.”

The couple’s split appears amicable. They had been married for three years.

“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer,” they said in a statement.

“We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.”

Reps for Page did not respond to our request for comment.
