The Inception actor came out as gay in 2014. In Page's coming-out letter, he shared how excited he is to finally live his truth. "I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer," he wrote. "And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive."
TMZ was the first to report the news of Page and Portner’s split.
