Ellen Page and Girlfriend Samantha Thomas Make Red Carpet Debut

Ellen Page brought a particularly special guest to the premiere of Freeheld at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday night. Ellen made her official red carpet debut with girlfriend Samantha Thomas (a surfer), and according to E! Online, Ellen seemed elated. "I'm in love," Ellen shared with E!, "Walking down the carpet holding my girlfriend's hand is pretty special."

Ellen looking fabulous in a tux and Samantha in a complementary outfit, the two ladies made an absolutely dashing couple at the premiere of one of our most anticipated films of the year (you can watch the Freeheld trailer here).

Ellen recently shared with Glamour that her experience working on Freeheld - the true story of lesbian partners fighting for equal rights after one of them is diagnosed with cancer - helped her make the decision to come out, so it was certainly a beautiful moment for Ellen and Samantha to make their first official public appearance together as a pair. You can check out their gorgeous red carpet picture here!

Ruby Rose was also present last night and snapped a pic with the couple, complete with the caption, "When you're not sure if you're a YSL campaign or really stylish waiters."

But jokes aside, Ruby also took some time to gush about Ellen, saying on her Instagram, "When your best friend is the most talented, funny, beautiful, generous, humble human being it's hard to not smile until it hurts. Ellen, I am so proud of you and will always be grateful for everything you are and will always be to me." 

We're thrilled to see Ellen and Samantha so happy together and can't wait to see Freeheld in theaters next month!
