ELLIOT Page has opened up about a secret two-year romance with a "closeted" female co-star in his tell-all memoir.
Elliot, 36, dished on a hidden Hollywood romance in his revealing book, Pageboy.
The Umbrella Academy actor shared with People details about his romance with his lover, Ryan.
Their secret affair happened behind-the-scenes of a movie as they reportedly held hands on set.
While pretending to have a friendship in public, Elliot said they would leave hotels at different exits while dodging the paparazzi.
The Netflix star said: "Some of my friends didn’t even know I was in a relationship.

"And I was in a relationship where we were in a relationship for a decent amount of time. I mean, that is next level.”
He continued: “Ultimately, I do think she loved me. We loved each other, and that was very real in our bubble.
"It was fantastic. You know, it was really beautiful. I admired her and how she inspired me in many ways."
"But feeling hidden was far too painful," Elliot revealed.

The actor concluded: "That was impossible and not a sustainable relationship at all. And it taught me that I was not gonna do that again.”
THE SPLIT
In January 2021, the Juno star filed for divorce after three years of marriage with ex-wife Emma Portner, 28.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the former couple asked for a dissolution of their marriage.
In a joint statement via Variety, the pair wrote: “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer.
"We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.”
Emma met her ex-husband Elliot on Instagram in March 2017.
THE TRANSITION
In November 2020, Elliot shared a lengthy Twitter post and revealed he is transgender.
The Oscar-nominated actor confirmed his new pronouns and tweeted: "I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life."
He went on: "I'm scared of the invasiveness, the hate, the 'jokes,' and of violence.
"To be clear, I am not trying to dampen a moment that is joyous, and one that I celebrate, but I want to address the full picture."
The X-Men: Days of Future Past star thanked the trans community for their "courage, generosity, and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place."
