Ellen Page gets married to Emma Portner
Page and Portner were first spotted together in July 2017. Since then, the couple have been photographed holding hands and locking lips on multiple occasions.
Portner has been dancing since she was 3 years old, according to an October profile published by The Cut. She spent her summers as a child training with the prestigious National Ballet School of Canada and at 16 years old, went on to study at the Ailey School in New York City.
Portner currently manages and directs her own New York dance company, originally named Flock’d and now called Emma Portner and Artists. She also teaches classes at the Broadway Dance Center. Portner was named Choreographer of the Year by the American Dance Awards in 2012.
She performed and choreographed Justin Bieber's Life Is Worth Living video and also worked on his Purpose World Tour.
While Page was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Portner originally hails from Ottawa, Ontario.
Porter, who has a whopping 87.9k followers on Instagram, met her now-wife via Instagram. According to The Cut, Portner posted a video to a song by Sylvan Esso and after the band shared the video, the Inception actress saw it and messaged the dancer.
The choreographer opened up to the publication about dating a famous actress.
Page is best known for her roles in films like X-Men: The Last Stand, Inception, To Rome with Love and My Days of Mercy and Juno.
Ellen came out as gay on Valentine’s Day in 2014 and was applauded for her courage. Earlier, the actor in an interview with Stephen Colbert has also said, “I feel so grateful to feel how I feel now, compared to when I was a closeted person. It’s not a nice place to be.I wish that no one had to live that way.”
