Elliot Page has opened up about a previously undisclosed two-year relationship with a closeted actress, shedding light on a deeply personal chapter of his life.

Known for his candidness regarding his sexuality and gender identity, Page’s journey has been marked by significant moments of self-discovery. After publicly coming out as gay in 2014 and later revealing his identity as a trans man in 2020, the actor has continued to share his experiences with authenticity.

In December 2020, Page took to Instagram to share his pronouns, he/they, in a heartfelt post, reflecting on his journey towards self-acceptance. Now, the actor has delved further into his personal narrative, emphasizing the importance of living authentically after years of internal struggle.

Page’s memoir, “Pageboy,” released last year, offers deeper insights into his life, including details about relationships previously kept private. In the book, the 37-year-old actor reveals a profound connection with an actress, referred to as “Ryan,” whom he met during a movie shoot.

Describing their initial encounter in a Los Angeles coffee shop, Page recalls being captivated by Ryan’s presence and intellect. Despite their deep bond, the relationship remained shrouded in secrecy, with even their closest friends unaware of their romance.

The clandestine nature of their relationship didn’t diminish the intensity of their connection. Page reminisces about moments of joy and intimacy, from discreet encounters beneath the Pacific Coast Highway to heartfelt gestures like handwritten letters in airport lounges.

However, the weight of secrecy and shame eventually took its toll on the relationship. Ryan, unable to confront her own identity, made the heartbreaking decision to end things, leaving Page shattered but resolute in his commitment to authenticity.

Page’s revelation offers a poignant glimpse into the complexities of love and identity, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals navigating relationships in the shadow of societal expectations.
