Elliot Page Goes Public with First Post-Transition Romance
You can officially stop refreshing your feed—Elliot Page has confirmed what we’ve all been politely guessing since December 2020. It turns out, the Umbrella Academy star has quietly been dating L.A.–based photographer Tracey Stewart, making this the first publicly acknowledged relationship since Page came out as transgender. In a June 5 Instagram carousel (People), Page shared a series of artful black-and-white snaps featuring the duo strolling Venice Beach at sunset, followed by a playful selfie of Stewart draping an arm around Page’s shoulders. And just like that, the rumor mill met its match.
Let’s not pretend this is earth-shattering news—celebs date, break up, and date again—but for Page, this is a milestone. Variety reminds us that since publicly embracing his identity on December 1, 2020, he’s largely kept his private life under wraps, focusing on advocacy, acting gigs (hello, season four of Umbrella Academy), and maintaining a lean media profile. So, yes, seeing him beam alongside a significant other feels like a genuine moment of personal progress, not just another Hollywood headline.
Fans and fellow trans advocates chimed in fast. One Instagram user wrote, “So happy for you both,” while GLAAD re-tweeted supportive comments celebrating Page’s openness. Stewart, for her part, is no total stranger to the limelight—her work has featured in Vogue and Nylon, and she’s known for capturing candid portraits of queer creatives. According to People, Stewart first met Page at a charity art auction last fall. Fast forward a few months of insider-approved coffee dates and socially distanced hikes, and suddenly we have an official “us.”
Of course, skeptics will say it’s just a PR move or dismiss it as “celebrity theater”—cynics like me included—but there’s zero indication Page is orchestrating a publicity stunt. His caption on the post spoke volumes: “Exploring ourselves, together.” No sponsored-tags or product placements in sight, just two people embracing a new chapter under the public eye. Variety even notes that a source close to the couple described them as “incredibly supportive of each other’s work,” suggesting this isn’t a fling to fill a news cycle.
Here’s the bottom line: Page’s journey from “Ellen” breakout to transition advocate has been headline fodder for years. Now, with Stewart by his side, he’s added another layer to that narrative—one of love, companionship, and unapologetic authenticity. Will this relationship last? Hard to say. But if there’s anything we’ve learned from Hollywood, it’s that genuine connections are worth celebrating, even if the cynics scoff. So there you have it—another swipe-right success story in Tinseltown. You’re welcome.
