Hampshire, who plays Stevie Budd in Canadian TV sitcom Schitt’s Creek, has shared a number of loved-up photos of the couple.

In one snap, she said: “Just me & my girlfriend. ❤️ ‍♀️ @teddygeiger.”

And, in another, she gushed: “God I miss this sweet little minx .”

On Wednesday, Hampshire tagged Geiger in a photo of her holding a placard of actor Elle Fanning at the Toronto International Film Festival.

She also shared a photo of the pair in a photobooth in Tuscany.

In July, Geiger opened up about coming out as trans. 

She told The New York Times: “I can remember back to being 5 and looking in the mirror, feeling like a girl and wanting that.

“But growing up in Rochester, there were limited resources. I’d never met a trans person before.”

In May, singer Shawn Mendes voiced support for his long-term collaborator and songwriter Geiger, saying people should “live how they want to live.”

Mendes was speaking to Billboard about how straight men can support the LGBTQ+ community.

“Just open your eyes and open your mind,” he said, “because, for me, going through one of my closest friends [Geiger] going through a very big transition period in her life, was incredible to watch.”
