Ellen Page Brings Her Girlfriend to the Red Carpet, Tells Everyone She's in Love
In DepthFreeheld, the new Ellen Page/Julianne Moore drama about a lesbian couple struggling for civil rights, premiered at The Toronto International Film Festival last night. The media present at the event got a huge surprise: Ellen Page and her girlfriend, Samantha Thomas, walked the red carpet together for the first time.
NBC reports that the actress chose to bring Thomas onto the red carpet because the two are ready to say that they’re in love. Plus, Freeheld (which looks pretty amazing, if the previews are to be believed), is a personally important film for Page, who came out as a lesbian last year. She told E! that walking in holding hands with her partner made the evening just that much more special.
