JUNO star Ellen Page has married her partner Emma Portner.

The actress announced the news on Instagram with a series of photographs captioned: “Can’t believe I get to call this extraordinary woman my wife.”

One photograph shows both their hands wearing wedding rings, while another shows the couple leaning in for a kiss.

Portner, who is a dancer, also shared the pictures, as well as another shot of her kissing Page’s hand while they are cuddling.

She captioned them: “I get to call this incredible woman MY WIFE! @ellenpage I LOVE YOU!” The couple have been open about their romance on social media, with Page frequently sharing posts about Portner’s work.

They also share videos of their own choreographed dance routines to pop songs by artists including Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.

Page came out in 2014 at the Human Rights Campaign’s Time to Thrive conference benefiting LGBT youth.

In a moving speech, she said: “I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission.

“I suffered for years because I was scared to be out.

“My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered.

“And I’m standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain.”

In late 2014, Page has opened up about her decision to come out as gay, saying life in the closet made her feel “guilty” and “like an a**hole.”

The Juno and X-Men star came out publicly on Valentine’s Day 2014 while giving the Human Rights Campaign speech.

In an interview with gay and lesbian magazine OUT to celebrate being named the publication’s ‘Entertainer of the Year’, Page spoke about how heavily the decision weighed on her.

“We all go through a journey and get where we need to be, but I really did start feeling guilty. I kind of felt like an a**hole,” Page said.

The 27-year-old said she was even finding her media commitments more enjoyable now that she didn’t feel pressured to hide any part of her life.

“You just feel different in the world,” she said.

“Once you’ve done something that you used to think was impossible, what could ever really scare you again?

“Even now, press is more enjoyable because I don’t have to have certain conversations. For instance, I’m never going to have to have a conversation about a dress, or heels, ever again.”

Page described the pressure not to come out from those inside the entertainment industry as insidious, saying she never felt like she could bring a woman to an event like the Oscars before coming out.

“No one’s ever been so direct as to say, ‘You’re gay, so we’re gonna hide it.’ But there’s an unspoken thing going on. [People] believe it’s the right thing to do for your career. They don’t realise it’s eroding your soul. It was eventually about me being like, Wait, why am I listening to that? At what point did I let those things become important?”
