The representative also shared that Dumont will keep his name for work, but in his personal life he will use a male name.

“Their work name will still be Emma Dumont, but with friends and family they will be called Nick.”

The star also updated his bio with the new name and added ‘Nick Dumont’ to his profile.

Despite recent activity on social media, Dumont, born Emma Noelle Roberts, has not publicly addressed her coming out.

The star’s latest Instagram posts signal a significant change from her glamorous red carpet image.

In May, Dumont debuted a bold, short, choppy haircut, a departure from his usual long, straight hair.

“Nice new era,” one fan commented at the time about the change.

Dumont has also adopted a more casual style, as seen in his post on Tuesday, where he sports t-shirts and sunglasses.

Dumont gained international recognition last year for his performance in the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, where he starred alongside Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and Florence Pugh.

Christopher Nolan’s film tells the life of Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist, also known as the father of the atomic bomb.

Dumont played Jackie, Oppenheimer’s sister-in-law.

The representative also shared that Emma will keep her name for work, but in her personal life she will use a male name.
