Elliot Page marks the new year by sharing topless photo with his first girlfriend since coming out as trans
Elliot Page rang in the new year by sharing a series of intimate photos on Instagram that offer a look into his life and relationships. The 38-year-old actor included pictures of friends, travels, pets, and a few personal moments with his partner, comedian and Overcompensating star, Julia Shiplett.
He captioned the post “wishing you a happy new year at the cottage.”
Page and Shiplett first confirmed they were a couple online in June 2025 with a close selfie that delighted fans.
In the set of images shared recently, there are also some topless photos that show Page spending time with his girlfriend at the beach, a relatively rare glimpse of the pair together in that setting.
His openness about these moments comes after years of sharing his journey publicly, from coming out as a trans man in December 2020 to embracing his identity and body in recent years.
Personal moments and social media reactions
In the Instagram post, Page is seen smiling in a beach selfie, shirtless with a chain and hat, while Shiplett wears a black bikini with sunglasses and a cap. The couple’s relaxed photos have sparked positive reactions from fans online, many celebrating Page’s confidence and happiness.
Shiplett has previously posted a video of Page shirtless in a hot spring with the caption “Happy prideee,” showing that the pair have shared affectionate moments before on social platforms.
Background on their relationship
Page and Shiplett’s relationship became official on social media last summer, marking the actor’s first public partnership since he came out as a trans man. They have also made appearances together at public events, including their red carpet debut as a couple at Milan Fashion Week in September 2025.
Julia Shiplett is known both for her comedy work and acting roles, and the two have been seen together at various moments since going public. Their shared posts reflect a supportive dynamic and a joyful connection.
Page’s journey has been closely followed by fans since his coming out, and his willingness to share personal experiences continues to resonate with many who appreciate his visibility and voice.
