Elliot Page fans are all saying the same thing after he confirms first relationship since coming out as trans
I hate to break it to you, guys, but Elliot Page is no longer on the market.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the actor, 38, shared a deeply loved-up snap alongside what appears to be his new partner, leaving a hoard of his diehard fans issuing him with the same message.
In the photo, which was shared on Saturday (June 28), Page can be seen wearing a casual black raincoat, which he paired with a matching cap and a chic pair of sunglasses.
The Juno actor appears to be on Skólavörðustígur Street in Reykjavik, Iceland, with the road famously painted with the colour of the rainbow to celebrate the country's support for the LGBTQ+ community.

The city's Hallgrímskirkja (the tallest church in Iceland) can also be seen in the background. Beside him stood someone who some telly buffs might recognise as Overcompensating star and comedian, Julia Shiplett.
Shiplett, also 38, meanwhile, wears a grey overcoat over a green knit jumper under a funky crossbody bag. Like Elliot, she also rocked a pair of specs, seemingly attempting to remain incognito in such a tourist-heavy city.
In the caption to his update, Page shared a rainbow emoji alongside a love-heart, seemingly confirming that the pair are in fact romantically-involved.
Shiplett also posted a video of Page shirtless in a hot spring with the caption: "Happy prideee."
As we say, the Umbrella Academy actor's latest sparked has since been inundated with comments from fellow social media users, many of whom took to the comment section to issue the same message of congratulations, branding the couple 'cute'.
"This makes me so so so happy," one fan gushed, while another added: "Loveeee."
"You’re so cute together," a third went on, as someone else wrote: "AHHHHH YALL SO CUTE."
Page's headline-hitting romance marks the first that the movie star has enjoyed since coming out as transgender in December 2020.
The Canadian actor - who initially came out as gay six years earlier, whilst presenting as female - was married to dancer/choreographer Emma Portner when he came out as trans.
Making the announcement at the time, Page wrote on social media: "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.
"I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self."
He continued to say that he was 'endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community', adding: "Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place.
"I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society."
He and Portner revealed a year later, in 2021, that they'd ended their relationship following three years of marriage, announcing at the time: "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer.
"We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends."
Tyla has contacted Page and Shiplett's representatives for comment.
