Who Is Mae Martin? Comedian and Actor Accompanied Elliot Page on Red Carpet

Actor Elliot Page stepped out on Saturday night alongside comedian and actor Mae Martin, who referred to Page as "My King," to attend the 11th Annual LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles.

The Canadian comedian, actor, and screenwriter, who goes by they/them pronouns, is best known for their stand-up routines, acting in The Flight Attendant, and writing and acting in the television series Feel Good.

They received their first Canadian Comedy Award nomination at 15 years old and has since won for writing on the sketch series The Baroness Von Sketch Show. They've also been featured in the Netflix series, COMEDIANS of the World.

It is unclear if they are romantically involved or just friends. But many social media users speculated about their status after Martin shared a series of photos of them and Page on their Instagram, writing, "My King @elliotpage took me out" with a heart emoji.

The Umbrella Academy star Page wore a black tuxedo and took pictures alongside Martin on the purple carpet at Saturday night's event, sharing photos of the two as well on his Instagram account on Monday.

Page wrote in the caption: "thank you @gucci for having me and @hooraymae at @lacma's Art+Film Gala."

Martin also retweeted a video of the two that was posted by user Shahryar Sultan, which showed the two of them taking pictures on the carpet, and Martin tweeted, "Bros being bros."

Several celebrities commented on the pair on Martin's Instagram, including actor Jameela Jamil, who wrote, "Oh my God so hot," and author Emma Gannon, who commented: "This is so so delightful."

"Cannot handle this pic," wrote musician Halsey.

Author Poorna Bell commented, "The absolute gorgeousness of you both" with a heart-eyed emoji.

Other fans of Page and Martin shared their love for the actors on social media.

"No thoughts just Mae Martin and Elliot Page (yes I'm still here)," one user wrote, tweeting photos from Saturday's event.

Despite their official relationship status being unconfirmed, another user wrote, "Sorry Mae Martin and Elliot Page dating is the only thing I'll be thinking about for the [next] few weeks."

Page, who came out as transgender in December 2020, has been fairly quiet on the dating front since announcing his divorce from Emma Portner after three years of marriage.

In a joint statement in January 2021, Page and Portner said, "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."

Page has also stayed fairly out of the spotlight, save for some rare social media appearances. However, earlier this year, Page stepped out onto the Oscars stage with his Juno co-stars Jennifer Garner and J.K. Simmons to present the Writing (Original Screenplay) award, leaving fans to express their love for him.

"Damn, Elliott Page looks so handsome," wrote activist Charlotte Clymer, former press secretary for rapid response at the Human Rights Campaign on Twitter in March. "That's a great tux."

Newsweek reached out to representatives for Martin and Page for additional comment.
