Actor Elliot Page has filed for divorce from his wife Emma Portner, according to new court records.
The 33-year-old “Juno” star, who recently came out as a transsexual, filed for a contested divorce Tuesday in Manhattan’s Supreme Court.
Portner, 26, a professional dancer and choreographer, publicly supported Page’s decision, saying she was “very proud.”
“Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world,” Portner said in a Dec. 1 Instagram post. “I also ask for patience and privacy, but to accompany you in the fervent support of trans day life. Elliot’s existence is a gift in itself. It shines in the sweet E. I love you so much.”
The divorce comes just three years after the couple married in January 2018.
Page’s representatives and attorney did not immediately return requests for comment. Portner could not be reached immediately.
