Zooey Deschanel has added her last name to her kids’ legal last names as part of her divorce settlement with Jacob Pechenik.

In documents obtained by The Blast, the 40-year-old actress and her ex-husband’s divorce settlement includes a provision to add “Deschanel” to four-year-old daughter Elsie and three-year-old son Charlie‘s legal names to make it easier when Zooey travels with them.

The children’s legal names will be changed Elsie Otter Deschanel Pechenik and Charlie Wolf Deschanel Pechenik.

According to the divorce settlement, “The children’s last names shall always be Pechenik, and Deschanel shall be a middle name only and used only on documents. This is done to facilitate the joint custody that the parties are sharing and to alleviate any legal confusion when the mother is traveling with the children.”

Zooey and Jacob first split back in September 2019 after four years of marriage. Jacob officially filed for divorce in December.

Zooey has been dating Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott for the past several months. She recently threw him a Game of Thrones-inspired murder mystery party for his birthday!

Lauren Conrad recently gave birth to a baby boy and named him Charlie Wolf.

Fans quickly began noticing that there is another celebrity who named her son the exact same name: Zooey Deschanel!

Zooey and her ex Jacob Pechenik welcomed their baby boy, Charlie Wolf, two years ago.

“It sounds like I’m a follower,” Lauren told Us Weekly about asked about possibly copying the name. “They’re just both family names. Charlie, or Charles, is a family name and a name that my husband and I both really like, and then Wolf actually comes from his side. I found it on a really old trunk at his grandmother’s house and she was like, ‘Oh, yeah. We had a bunch of wolves in our family,’ so it kind of stuck with me and I just liked it.”

And believe it or not, there’s actually a THIRD celebrity baby named Charlie Wolf out there!

Zooey Deschanel is all smiles as she carries an adorable baby boy while attending the Baby2Baby Baby Carnival Presented By Huggies held at Lombardi House on Monday (September 25) in Los Angeles.

The 37-year-old New Girl star helped kick off National Diaper Need Awareness Week with the donation event.

According to a recent survey by Huggies and the National Diaper Bank Network, 1 in 3 families struggle to provide clean diapers for their children, so Zooey accepted a 2.5 million diaper donation to help give to families in need.

“I’m so proud to accept @Huggies No Baby Unhugged donation of 2.5 million diapers to help @Baby2Baby families in need,” Zooey captioned with one of her Instagram posts. “It is shocking that 1 in 3 families in this country struggle to provide diapers to their children. You can help get diapers to babies who need them most. For every re-post or tweet with #DonateDiapers this week, Huggies will donate a day’s worth of diapers to the children & families Baby2Baby serves.”

“Zooey, Jacob and their daughter Elsie are overjoyed to welcome the newest member of their family,” a rep confirmed to Just Jared. Sources say that Zooey gave birth sometime last week in the Los Angeles area.

Big sister Elsie Otter was born in July of 2015. The couple secretly married just before the birth of their baby girl.
