Retaining my old email address but creating a new Apple id

Hey there, so, I have a small predicament...my Apple ID is a combination of names, with my now ex husband....I REALLY would like to change it, but EVERYTHING is linked to it. So, is there anyway in which I can retain that email address as a secondary email, and create a new Apple ID/email address, that I can link with it?

You would first have to free up the email address used on the current account to another email address.


Change your Apple ID - Apple Support


Then after 30 days the original email address should be freed up to be used with a new apple ID.


Good luck!
