The news comes nearly two months after Page shared on social media that he is transgender.
“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,” Page wrote in aDec. 1 Twitter post.
“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,” Page wrote.
Portner, 26, a professional dancer and choreographer, publicly supported Page’s decision, saying she was “so proud.”
Attempts to reach Page’s lawyer, Robert Dobrish, were not immediately successful.
Page and Portner, a dancer and choreographer, announced their marriage in January 2018.
Portner previously expressed her love and support following Page’s public statement last month. “I am so proud of @elliotpage. Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world. I also ask for patience & privacy but that you join me in the fervent support of trans life every single day,” Portner wrote on Instagram.
“Elliot’s existence is a gift in and of itself. Shine on sweet E. Love you so much,” Portner wrote.
