Jonathan Cheban Legal Name Change
We have to admit that we can`t really imagine Kim Kardashian referencing her longtime beast with this new name. Last week, Cheban was spotted leaving a Florida courthouse that had seized legal name change papers after dropping his first name for the year-old nickname given to him by the man who wants to be God himself, Kanye West. Of course, he was also wearing one of his black “Foodgod” T-shirts. (Surprisingly, he didn`t supplement his beloved “foodgod” necklace with diamonds worth $20,000.) For one, he has been part of her inner circle for years and she has always addressed him as Jonathan. Secondly, it is not exactly the most traditional choice of name and we can understand that it is difficult to call a long-time friend such a unique name as FoodGod. Jonathan Foodgod told The Metro: “I`m changing it legally, and it`s working with the lawyers, there`s so much to do – it`s not an easy process.” Despite Foodgod`s hope that people won`t call him Jonathan anymore, his longtime BFF Kim Kardashian still seems grappling with her beast`s name change. The documents were filed by Cheban, 45, in Florida on Oct. 23. District Judge Peter Holden signed the documents and approved the name change. Well, that`s (probably) what Jonathan Cheban would have liked when his mother first saw him, as it would have saved him a lot of trouble in the future. What for? Now that Kim Kardashian`s BFF has officially changed its name to Foodgod, that`s what we need to call it from now on. “Once someone says it once, they can`t stop saying it.
It`s like one thing. If you see Puff Daddy out there and you think – wait, that`s your name. Foodgod. It`s a word, so it`s simple. Meanwhile, the 45-year-old podcaster told us that his mother was in court with him for the name change process. However, Jonathan is never one to miss a brand opportunity, but went further (or 20) and officially changed his name to Foodgod, according to legal documents seen by TMZ. “Kanye says, `Yo, foodgod! Can you get me a Diet Coke? “If [the Foodgod name] is good enough for Kanye, it`s good enough for everyone,” he said. The name is one Jonathan had adopted over the years and was thrilled to make his legal name, which Page Six said at the time: “Everyone calls me Foodgod; Shout it on the street and run to me in restaurants, and I want people to call me Foodgod when they write about me – not Jonathan or `BFF`. In January, Jonathan Metro.co.uk talked about his name change project, but explained that the process had not been easy. In 2017, PEOPLE confirmed that Cheban legally wanted to change its name to Foodgod – the brand it has built over the years with a food-filled website and social media. “I`m so tired of people questioning me, and really tired of people not calling me Foodgod,” he said. “That`s my name. Jonathan is not my name.
In fact, they have to call me by name, otherwise it`s like they`re talking about someone else. That`s strange. Do you find it funny that Kim Kardashian still has to correct herself when she talks about buddy Foodgod using her old name Jonathan Cheban instead of her official name? If you were in Kim`s shoes, do you think you`d still call Foodgod by his official name Jonathan? While we understand – well, this may be an exaggeration, but we understand the reason for the decision – why Jonathan decided to legally change his name to Foodgod, we honestly can`t blame Kim for always calling his longtime beast Jonathan and not FoodGod. JC filed legal documents in Florida – his primary residence, it seems – and asked a judge to change Jonathan Cheban`s name to ……………. to be signed. Hold on. Foodgod started changing their name from Jonathan to Foodgob in January of the same year, so many fans thought it was just a joke. Well, the joke is definitely about her, because not only did he change his name rightly, but he also made a fortune with his new identity. Foodgod even went so far as to say that he`s uncomfortable hearing Jonathan, as he`s long known to family and friends by his foodie-focused nickname.
“It`s OFFICIAL!!” he posted Sunday alongside a screenshot of TMZ`s cover on his Instagram, where 3.4 million people follow his opulent eating habits. Then he became relatively calm, perhaps because he was busy living up to his new name. (According to his Instagram story, Cheban is in New Orleans, where he lives as someone who wants to catch gout.) But on Monday, Cheban — or should I say Foodgod — gave an animated interview to “Page Six,” expressing frustration with those who don`t take him seriously. Kim Kardashian`s best friend has legally changed his name to Foodgod and will have no other name – especially Jonathan. Imagine you have a little boy and instead of choosing a nice, regular name for the little bundle of joy, like, oh, I don`t know, Jonathan, you decide to Christianize Foodgod. According to TMZ, the 45-year-old, who uses the culinary nickname for his podcast, TV show and Instagram page, was careful not to miss a brand opportunity by making it official. TMZ has seen the legal documents and everything. Well, after his very first appearance in season 20, Cheban was introduced on screen as a “god of food,” which raised the question of whether he really changed his name.
The answer is yes! Jonathan has already legally changed his name in 2019. Jonathan Cheban has legally changed his name to Foodgod and we are just as confused as you are. While Jonathan Cheban legally changed his name to Foodgod nearly a year ago, his girlfriend Kim Kardashian still hasn`t gotten used to referring to his beast by his new legal name. Kim promoted Foodgod`s new Ultimate Truffle ketchup through her Instagram stories, offering fans a sneak peek at the product and sharing a sweet story about her brother Rob Kardashian`s reaction to the launch. When Kim told fans about Rob`s excitement at the idea of ordering the spice, he continued to refer to Foodgod by his old name rather than his current name. Kim`s beast, Jonathan Cheban, was introduced as a “foodgod” during today`s episode, raising the question of whether he really changed his name. Jonathan Cheban — a longtime friend of Kim Kardashian and frequent guest on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” — just changed his Instagram handle to his official name. Devour!!!! In the background, after years of joking about changing his name to Foodgod, Jonathan finally pulled the trigger in October 2019 when he submitted documents to legally change his name to Monkier which he adopted on social media. “I had to bring them,” he said.
“I was terrified that she would object, but if I change my name, I want my mother to be there.” The TV personality, made famous for his work with the beast Kim Kardashian, hosts a podcast and has had a TV show called Foodgod, as well as the nickname as an Instagram username. Entrepreneur Jonathan Cheban, who frequently appears in Keeping Up with the Kardashians with his best friend Kim Kardashian West, has legally changed his name to Foodgod, according to documents obtained by TMZ. Jonathan Cheban, a man who aspires to be a Guy Fieri for “the young and the hot”, has just taken another step to establish himself as one of the most ridiculous culinary figures in the country: he has officially changed his name to “Foodgod”. While this may seem like a bold move, dedicated Foodgod fans will find the Foodgod lifestyle an integral part of its identity. In fact, Cheban has been mulling the name change since November 2017, when he told Page Six that he was preparing to sign the necessary paperwork. Despite the traumatic event, Jonathan returned to Los Angeles to talk to the Kar-Jenner clan, only to be introduced on screen as “Foddgod”.
