Cinema VinesOscar‑nominated Canadian actor Elliot Page, who is set to portray the Greek soldier Sinon in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey, has recently stepped into the public eye not only for his film work but also for his personal life. The actor, who has kept his relationships largely private, announced his partnership with New York‑based comedian, writer and actor Julia Shiplett on Instagram in June 2025, celebrating Pride Month. Their first joint appearance on the red carpet came at Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week, and they have since appeared together at several high‑profile events.
Shiplett, a Chicago native who earned a journalism and mass communication degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, has built a reputation in comedy and television. She has been highlighted as a Comedy Central Up Next Comedian, a TBS Comic to Watch, and featured in Vulture’s “Comedians You Should Know” list. Television audiences may recognize her from recurring roles on the comedy series Overcompensating and appearances in Love Life and High Maintenance. In addition to acting, she has written for the animated series 10‑Year‑Old Tom and for Phoebe Robinson’s talk show Doing the Most, while also working as a freelance copywriter.
Page, who publicly came out as transgender and non‑binary in December 2020, has become a prominent advocate for transgender rights in Hollywood. Although he has traditionally kept his love life out of the spotlight, the couple’s public displays—most recently at the premiere of The Odyssey in Leicester Square, London—have drawn fresh attention to Shiplett’s career. The duo posed for photographers before attending the film’s opening, marking another milestone in their growing visibility as a couple in the entertainment industry.
The premiere, held on July 14, 2026, at AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York City, saw Page and Shiplett walk the red carpet together, a gesture that fans and media alike noted as a sign of their strong partnership. Their appearance at the event has reignited interest in Shiplett’s work and underscored the couple’s influence both on and off the screen.
