They gave no further details.

Page, the 33-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Juno , Inception and The Umbrella Academy , and Portner, a 26-year-old choreographer and dance teacher, announced their marriage early in 2018 after only having hinted at their relationship on social media.

Portner was vocal in her support of Page when the actor came out as transgender in December, an announcement that was widely greeted as a watershed moment for the trans community in Hollywood.
