'WandaVision' Star Kathryn Hahn Legally Changing Her Children's Names

“WandaVision” star Kathryn Hahn and her husband of two decades, Ethan Sandler, are currently in the process of legally changing the names of their two kids, 16-year-old Leonard and 13-year-old Mae. The actress and Sandler met in college at Northwestern University and proceeded to date.

They were reportedly in theater and appeared in several theatrical productions together. After years of dating, rather than an elaborate wedding, Hahn and Sandler decided to elope and married in the early 2000s. They acted as an engaged couple in the 2001-2007 series “Crossing Jordan.”

According to recent reports by TMZ, Hahn and her husband, Sandler, filed a petition in Los Angeles last week for “Hahn” to be added as a second middle name for their two children. The name will reportedly be placed before “Sandler” for both Leonard and Mae, making the teenagers Leonard Henry Hahn Sandler and Mae Marie Hahn Sandler.

Neither Hahn nor Sandler revealed what brought about the abrupt name change for their children. The actress has been in several movie roles over the years, with her most recent appearance in the MCU’s “WandaVision” as one of her most notable.

Hahn and Sandler initially met each other in college and, after years of dating, got married in 2002. Of the duo’s two children, Leonard is the oldest, having been born in 2006, while Mae was born three years after him. While talking about her family life to Parade in 2018, the actress revealed that although they lived a creative life, it was relatively normal for them back home.

The “WandaVision” star said, “I have cute kids and a hubby forever and two dogs and a rabbit and now a hamster...So I have this rich and creative life but also a normal life, and I’ve been able to keep the two separate and holy.”

Hahn has spent approximately two decades in theater, television, and film with steady acting opportunities. She was on “Parks and Recreation” for three years during its run time and starred in Marvel’s “WandaVision” as the evil powerful witch Agatha. Hahn’s most recent movie saw her reunite with her “How To Lose A Man In 10 Days” co-star Kate Hudson.

Hahn’s latest project is in the hit movie, “A Glass Onion: a Knives Out mystery,” as Claire Debella, an ambitious Governor to be who used to be a soccer mom. The film is a sequel to “Knives Out,” which featured Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc. The former James Bond actor reprised his role in the recently released movie.

Rian Johnson was brought in as the writer and director of the film and brought together a star-studded cast list for the sequel. This list includes Craig, Hahn, Hudson, Janelle Monàe, Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, and Leslie Odom Jr.

The film is Craig’s first notable appearance in a title besides the 007 franchise, and he is the only returning character from the first film. “A Glass Onion: a Knives Out Mystery” follows a group of sycophants and friends of Miles, played by Norton. They end up being trapped on an island that had a resident murderer racking up their kills

Besides Hahn, “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul recently filed a petition in court, along with his wife and child, to change their name. Per TMZ, the actor, whose actual last name is Sturtevant, sought to rename himself Paul legally. The name is one he has gone by in the industry for many years.

Paul is not the only one looking for a name change; his wife Lauren will also be included as well as Casper Emerson Paul, their child who will be renamed Ryden Caspian Paul. Although the name is not his parent’s official title, Caspian was named Paul from birth. His name change, however, affected only his first and middle names.

The couple revealed that their reason for the name change was to conform to the actor’s professional name and ensure the family name was consistent. Paul and Lauren explained that in their child’s case, they were made to give him a name upon his birth; however, as time went on, they preferred a different name.
