'Wednesday' star, Jenna Ortega's quiet personal life has always made fans curious. Here's everything you need to know about her alleged linkups.
Jenna Ortega has quickly become one of the most talked-about stars in Hollywood. After impressing audiences as 'young Jane' in Jane the Virgin and later impressing with powerful performances in You and The Fallout, it was her role as 'Wednesday Addams' in Netflix's Wednesday that shot her to global stardom. As Wednesday 2 is currently in the making and shall soon grace your screen, fans are not only curious about what's next for her character, but even want to know what is happening in her otherwise private personal life. If you are curious about the same, here's everything you need to know about it.
Jenna Ortega's most talked-about rumoured romance was with singer and actor, Asher Angel. The speculation started after the duo were spotted attending events together back in 2018. Fans thought that they made a 'cute pair', especially when they dressed up as Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson for Halloween that year. Asher once shared a picture with Jenna from a fashion show and captioned it with red hearts. Several fans believed that Jenna was talking about him when she mentioned her ex in a podcast and said:
"I was in a relationship for a couple of years, but I stopped when things got too hectic."
Another name that's often brought up is Jacob Sartorius. The singer was also rumoured to be dating Jenna. They both appeared together in his music video, Chapstick where they portrayed the role of a couple who went around playing games, eating ice cream and walking around the Brooklyn Bridge in love. Their on-screen energy shone through the video, making fans believe that they were dating. Jacob later revealed that they were good friends, but that was it. In 2023, some photos of Jenna and Devin Booker went viral, raising speculation, but it was later revealed that they were fake.
Among other rumours, the most unexpected linkup buzz about Jenna came when she was suddenly linked to Hollywood veteran, Johnny Depp, who is 39 years her senior. It started after a celebrity account, Deuxmoi, shared the news on social media and caused a lot of chaos due to the popularity and age gap between Jenna and Johnny. However, both Jenna and Johnny shut down the speculation quickly. Depp's team called the claim "baseless and malicious," while Jenna talked about it in her Buzzfeed interview and said:
"Probably that I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp, and I wanted everybody to leave us alone. It is so insane to me. Like, I never spoke on that. I never said anything like that. Articles really do just make up their quotes, but I thought that that was pretty hilarious."
Although fans are curious to know about the status of her personal life, Jenna is firm about one thing, which is her right to privacy. She has discussed her preference to keep her personal life away from the spotlight in multiple interviews. The actress believes that it is important for her to keep some chapters of her life all for herself and not let it take away from the attention from her work. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the 22-year-old said:
"My job is to play characters, not to be a character. I don't plan on speaking about my love life publicly, because that's mine."
