Shiplett, 38, appeared to confirm the relationship on her social media, sharing an Instagram Stories photo of the shirtless “Umbrella Academy” actor relaxing in a hot spring.

“Happy prideee,” she wrote across the photo.

Page, also 38, has not been in a public relationship since he came out as a trans man in 2020.

However, he opened up about his dating life in June 2023, telling the Los Angeles Times that he was having “the most fun I’ve ever had dating.”

“Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected,” he added, “because I’m not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.”

The “Juno” star was previously married to Emma Portner from 2018 to 2021.

In his 2023 memoir, “Pageboy,” the actor also revealed he was once in a secret relationship for two years with a closeted actress whom he refers to as “Ryan.”

“My partner was more closeted than me for a change,” Page wrote.

“We were together for almost two years, and even some of my closest friends were not aware I was in a relationship. Her parents did not know.”

Page recalled the relationship as not being “sustainable” as he detailed the reason behind their breakup.

“People didn’t ‘think she was queer,’ but they definitely assumed I was, and I don’t think she could handle the shame,” he shared.

“Ultimately, she had to do what was best for her, and unfortunately, it resulted in my heart being shattered.”

Page has also been romantically linked to actress Kate Mara and his “Juno” co-star Olivia Thirlby.
