Jenna Ortega is everywhere these days. From "Wednesday" to "Scream VI", the rising actress has become one of Hollywood's most talked-about names. But while her career keeps booming, one question keeps following her: Who is Jenna Ortega dating?
Here is the short answer: No one knows for sure, and that is exactly how the "Wednesday" actress wants it.
In August 2024, the 23-year-old actress told Vanity Fair something that shut down all dating gossip: "I don’t plan on speaking about my love life publicly, because that’s mine."
She explained that when fans know too much about an actor’s personal life, it can mess with how they see the character on screen. Jenna Ortega wants the audience to stay locked into her performances, not her personal drama. She is not about to let public curiosity change that.
Jenna / IG / Even though fans are eager to know more, Ortega, 23, stays firm. She keeps things quiet, not out of mystery, but out of principle.
In a world where celebs often overshare, Jenna Ortega is doing the opposite, and it is working.
Rumored Romance With Jacob Sartorius
Back in 2017, rumors started when Jenna Ortega appeared in Jacob Sartorius’ music video for "Chapstick." They played love interests, shared a kiss, and the internet lit up with questions. Are they dating?
Jacob later cleared the air. In an interview, he called Jenna a “really good friend” and said their chemistry was just acting. Nothing more happened off-camera. But that didn’t stop fans from speculating. It was one of the first times Jenna's name got pulled into a public dating rumor, and it wouldn’t be the last.
The Asher Angel Speculation
In 2018, fans thought something was going on between Jenna Ortega and Disney Channel actor Asher Angel. They were spotted at events together, including a Halloween party where they wore matching costumes. That was all it took for dating rumors to start flying.
They never confirmed anything. They didn’t deny it either. In a 2023 podcast, Jenna said she once had a long-term relationship that ended when life got too hectic. Some fans think she might have been talking about Asher. But again, she didn’t name names, and she is not about to start now.
The Devin Booker Photoshop Saga
In 2023, photos started going around claiming that Jenna Ortega was dating NBA star Devin Booker. But sharp-eyed fans noticed something off. The images were fake.
Jenna / IG / Johnny Depp’s team called the story “baseless and malicious.” Jenna Ortega took it a step further in an interview, calling it "insane."
It turns out that someone had Photoshopped the two of them together. There was no truth to it at all. The story went viral before being debunked, illustrating just how wild the internet can be when it comes to celebrity gossip.
Jenna Ortega didn’t comment on the rumor herself. She didn’t need to. The truth came out fast enough. But it proved something important: even fake stories can spread like wildfire, and keeping her real life private might be her smartest move yet.
That Johnny Depp Rumor
2024 brought the most bizarre rumor of all: that Jenna Ortega was dating Johnny Depp. A gossip account made the claim, and the internet exploded. But both actors shut it down quickly and completely.
She called the whole thing “insane” and “pretty hilarious.” The story had no legs and no facts. Just pure fan fiction.
Ortega isn’t interested in being famous for dating someone. She wants people to talk about her acting, not her relationships. That is why she has made her boundary so clear that her love life stays off-limits.
