So when there are people who don't know her, I call her Emma. But from now on, I'll just say Emily," Fielder said. "You can say Emma," her partner told her, "You can say whatever you want."
Given the situation, the interviewer asked the actress if she would like to be called by her real name, including her followers. "It would be great. I would like to be Emily," she confessed.
