'Glee' Star Has a New Name
by EG
Charice Pempengco, the Filipino singer who rose to popularity in 2007 on YouTube and appeared in a handful of episodes of Glee, now goes by the name Jake Zyrus.
The 25-year-old star debuted the new moniker on social media on Sunday — almost three years after revealing to Oprah Winfrey that “my soul is male.”
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the love and respect,” Zyrus wrote on Instagram. “I love you back and I’m sending peace to everyone.”
All previous posts from the singer across social media were deleted, marking this as a fresh start.
On Monday, Zyrus tweeted about the change, writing, “My first tweet as Jake. Overwhelmed. Saw all your love comments and I’m so happy. Finally. I love you, everyone and see you soon.”
