Representatives for Page and Shiplett did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Page publicly came out as gay in 2014 and as trans in December 2020, and has since been candid in the past about his relationships with stars including Kate Mara and Olivia Thirlby, which he described in his 2023 memoir, Pageboy.
The Juno star was last linked to his ex-wife, dancer and choreographer Emma Portner, whom he split from in January 2021 after three years of marriage. 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.”
For PEOPLE’s Pride cover story in 2023, Page opened up about the process of coming out and spoke about how it felt to finally share his truth with the world.

“It definitely feels a way that I never thought I would get to feel, and that mostly manifests in how present I feel, the ease I feel and the ability to exist. There’s been periods in my life where I really felt like I didn’t,” he said.
“So often it’s a lot more in the quiet moments,” Page continued. “I think we talk about ‘trans joy’ and euphoria. So much of it is in the stillness. To have my shoulders back. I just was always kind of shut off, anxious. I used to never feel like my skin was my own.”
