Elliot Page and Emma Portner are ending their three-year marriage, according to court documents obtained by multiple outlets. 

TMZ was the first to report that the “Juno” actor filed for divorce on Tuesday in Manhattan. Us Weekly and Page Six later confirmed the news. 

Representatives for Page did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. 

Portner and Page first met over Instagram in 2017 after the Oscar-nominated actor sent a message to the choreographer complimenting her dancing video. They began dating shortly thereafter. 

The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in early January 2018. Although they shared few details about their wedding with the public, Page later called it the “most magical night” of his life during an interview with Net-A-Porter.

"I am so proud of @elliotpage. Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world," Portner captioned her message.

She continued, "I also ask for patience & privacy but that you join me in the fervent support of trans life every single day. Elliot's existence is a gift in and of itself. Shine on sweet E. Love you so much."
