“Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world,” said Portner in an Instagram post on December 1. “I also ask for patience and privacy, but that you join me in fervent support for trans life. day. Elliot’s existence is a gift in itself. Shine on sweet E. I love you so much. “
The divorce takes place just three years after the couple married in January 2018.
Page’s representatives and a lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Portner could not be found immediately.
