The Truth About Elliot Page's Wife

Emma Portner's viral video, Dancing In the Dark, went on to catch the eye of Justin Bieber. According to The Sun, because of this project, Portner choreographed and danced in Bieber's Life is Worth Living music video, and she did the same for his Purpose world tour in 2016. Portner spoke out against the singer two years later in 2019, saying in an Instagram Story (via People), "I regret working under your name. I gave your universe my naive body, creativity, time and effort. Twice. For content you made millions off of. While I made zilch." She also questioned his association with a church that "does not support the LGBTQ+ community."

Elliot Page used to avoid dancing, according to The New York Times, but since meeting Portner, Page has appeared in several of her videos. In one YouTube video from 2017, Page plays the guitar to an acoustic version of Britney Spears' "Lucky" while Portner dances. Her iconic dance style, according to the NYT, is a melding of ballet with contemporary dance. Portner skillfully connects with her audiences through YouTube and social media over "traditional venues," according to the outlet. There's a deliberate reason for this, with Portner explaining, "I want to make good dance accessible to the world."

As for her marriage with Page, Portner told the NYT that when she was younger, around 12, friends pointed out how alike she was to her future partner when they'd watch Page's movies. Portner said, "I knew we'd cross paths someday — I just wasn't quite sure when or how."
