It's used for indicating someone's maiden name usually, just tongue-in-cheek I wager by whoever wrote the title.
I mean yeah in france it is, don't you use born in english?
Sometimes, but in more official writing (like a bio or even Wikipedia) we'll use née. Just another word the English language stole from other languages 😂
Sometimes, but née is a more... Academic way of putting it. Like how academic papers use Latin phrases rather than their colloquial versions in English.
