When co-stars can so heavily push the narrative that their relationship is real, we want to believe it.
But as forElliot Pageand Alexander Skarsgard?
Their relationship was never anything more than an act.

But they, of course, are no more than friends.
Portner was a huge support system to Page in light of his 2020announcement of his transgender identity.
“I am so proud of @elliotpage,” she wrote onInstagram.

“Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world.
Elliot’s existence is a gift in and of itself.
Shine on sweet E. Love you so much.”
Sadly the two would separate, and Page wouldfile for divorcein January 2021.
