Elliot Page garnered several sweet reactions from his famous friends and fans with a new photo beside his girlfriend.

Elliot’s famous friends’ reactions to his sweet new snap

Elliot posted an adorable selfie of himself and Julia in front of a wooded area over the weekend, aka Pride Weekend, on Instagram, simply captioning it with a heart emoji.

The post quickly garnered several adoring responses, and equally appropriate emojis, from several friends like Julianne Moore, Natasha Lyonne, Shannon Woodward, and Kid Fury.

Others left comments like: “You deserve so much happiness Elliott! Happy Pride King!” and: “I love seeing beautiful people being together!” as well as: “This picture is art, so happy for you!!!!”

Elliot’s comedian girlfriend — who is Julia Shiplett?

Julia is a comedian, writer and actress who gained prominence on social media in 2021, especially for her impression of Miya Ponsetto, a parody of the SoHo Karen incident.

She made her screen debut in 2018 in an episode of the show Crashing, plus a voice role in the show American Dad! and the miniseries Ad World before landing her recurring role in Overcompensating, which will soon return for a second season.

In an interview with Vulture, Julia spoke about how her approach to her craft shifted after embracing a more “hot-girl comedy” style. “For years, I thought if I dressed as plainly and asexually as possible, people wouldn’t have a preconceived notion of me or my material and would take me more seriously as a comedian,” she opined.

“But if hot-girl comedy has proven anything, it’s that you can be very funny while also being sexy and stylish. Now, I think wearing something fun and special onstage is a sign of showmanship – it shows you made an effort for your audience.”

What do we know of Elliot and Julia’s romance?

It’s unclear how the couple met, but the Umbrella Academy star debuted his new relationship with a post on June 29, 2025 to celebrate Pride Month with a selfie of himself and Julia on a rainbow street in Iceland.

The couple kept things relatively low-key until they made their red carpet debut together that September for Gucci’s Spring Summer 2026 show as part of Milan Fashion Week, just days after being photographed backstage at the Broadway premiere of Julio Torres Color Theories.

On his 39th birthday on February 21, Julia posted a sweet tribute to her boyfriend alongside several photos of him on Instagram, captioning it: “Happy birthday E baby!!”

“How lucky I am to have such a sweet, patient, supportive boo thang who always wants to order fries,” she gushed. “You’ve cracked my lil crone heart open and celebrating you is a breeze.”
