Can I change my Apple Account email ID to Gmail?

I set my wife's iphone up many years ago with an icloud email address. I really would prefer it be in her gmail email address. Is it possible to change?

Thank you so much. That is much easier than I thought it would be. I believe a few years ago it was much more difficult.
