She previously revealed that she wants the ‘same last name’ as her daughter Aleeia, and has no problem remaining ‘an Anasta’.
But it appears actress Jodi has had a change of heart of late, reverting to her maiden name ‘Gordon’ on Instagram.
The change comes five years after the 35-year-old’s divorce from ex-husband Braith Anasta, who is preparing to tie the knot with personal trainer Rachael Lee.

‘I don’t know why people think I ever changed it [back],’ she told the publication at the time.
‘I want the same last name as my daughter. I have no problem. I am an Anasta. It’s a done deal.’
