Well, no. Common sense here is that she changed her name and, in the

When you said "fact checkers at People magazine" I laughed. Just saying.
Ah, but our verifiability/reliable sources policy says that we use secondary
sources because they do fact checking. This is a secondary source, therefore
it must do fact checking. Considering whether the secondary source

does, so we have to assume it does!
