Existing ESTA after new citizenship?
if a person fills ESTA and in the section for other nationalities doesn't disclose all the ones that they have, that might cause problems I would assume?
Though in a case where someone gets ESTA done and after that but before their planned travel they acquire a new nationality by naturalisation, would there be any problem with using the existing ESTA as technically you now have 2 nationalities which you haven't disclosed/informed the US of (but you also haven't lied as answered the question before you acquired the second one)? Would one have to get a new ESTA done in this case or existing one would be fine and you can be happy you get to keep at least some privacy with US government?
Thanks!

You need to re-apply.
If you obtain a new passport or change your name, gender or country of citizenship, you will be required to apply for a new travel authorization. This is also required if one of your answers to any of the VWP eligibility questions changes. The associated fee of $14 will be charged for each new application.
