In a statement shared with PEOPLE the former couple announced they had decided to divorce after being estranged for a number of months.

"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer," they said at the time. "We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends."

They first announced their surprise marriage just after New Year's in 2018.

In December 2020, when Page publicly announced he was trans, Portner wrote a loving and supportive Instagram post.

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

In April 2021, Page told Vanity Fair he's known he's a boy since he was a small child.

"All trans people are so different, and my story's absolutely just my story. But yes, when I was a little kid, absolutely, 100 percent, I was a boy," Page said in the feature interview. "I knew I was a boy when I was a toddler. I was writing fake love letters and signing them 'Jason.' Every little aspect of my life, that is who I was, who I am, and who I knew myself to be."

"I just couldn't understand when I'd be told, 'No, you're not. No, you can't be that when you're older,' " he recalled. "You feel it. Now I'm finally getting myself back to feeling like who I am, and it's so beautiful and extraordinary, and there's a grief to it in a way."
