Ellen Page loves being married

She told Balance magazine: "I feel different in the sense that I just love it so much.

"She's the love of my life and I don't really have a word for it other than this brand new, all-encompassing feeling that...

"I guess it just feels really grounding and really beautiful. Absolutely I've been in love before, and this was definitely a very different new kind and new form, clearly."

The 31-year-old actress - who came out in 2014 - is happy to share her married life on her social media profiles because she believes visibility is key to change.

She said: "We're a married lesbian couple, and in a world that doesn't have enough LGBTQ+ representation, you want to be visible.

"When I was in high school in grade 10, at least to my knowledge, not a single kid was out. I remember being 14 and stumbling across a movie like 'But I'm a Cheerleader' on TV and how much that meant to me. What a tiny little moment between two characters and one thing said made me go 'that's kind of how I feel'.

"I don't think the importance of seeing yourself reflected can be undervalued."

The 'Freeheld' actress admitted she felt a huge difference "physically" after coming out.

She said: "I still feel like I'm just becoming able to be who I am and feel comfortable in my body. The difference I felt physically after coming out was just like... you'd have to feel it to believe it."
