There is trouble in paradise. Transgender actor Elliot Page popularly known for his roles on Juno and Umbrella Academy has been said to have filed for divorce from his wife Emma Portner.
The two had been married for just three years and seemed to be okay even after the actor went public with his transition from a woman to a man.
The pair was often referred to as goals thanks to their picture-perfect snaps that often made it to social media.

Elliot had earlier revealed that his family and loved ones gave him the strongest and much needed support during his period of transition.
The Juno actor has been out for barely two months.
Elliot first posted photos of his better half back in 2017 right before they walked down the aisle.
It was then reported in January 2018 that the two had walked down the aisle and planned to spend eternity forever.
The actor first revealed he was into women back in 2014 after hiding his sexuality for years.
As earlier captured on TUKO.co.ke, days after the Juno star revealed he now identifies as a man, he thanked his fans and followers for their overwhelming support.
According to the 33-year-old, the love and support he has received from his tribe have been the greatest gift.
“Stay safe. Be there for each other. If you are able,” the actor wrote.
Elliot then posted a photo of his new look with most of his long tresses gone and his cheekbones looking more masculine than before.
He had on a dark hoodie, no makeup and a pair of glasses that brought in the oomph factor.
A month back, the Umbrella Academy actor announced his decision to adopt the pronoun he.
Briefly.co.za also reported that Ayanda Thabathe has come to the defense of her ex-husband Andile Ncube after he was accused of being secretly gay by a faceless social media user. Since then, Ncube has been trending online as Mzansi digested the drama.
The Twitter user with the handle @BadubeS claimed that the reason behind Ayanda and Andile's divorce was due to his sexuality. The social media user also blamed Andile for the publicising of Somizi and Mohale's alleged marriage scandals.
However, Ayanda Thabethe quickly shut down the rumours by taking to her Twitter account to set the record straight. She refuted the claims that she walked in on her ex husband with another man.
