Jenna Ortega's love life: All we know after star speaks out about dating | HELLO! (2024)

Jenna Ortega's latest film, Miller's Girl, has naturally drawn attention due to the controversial subject of a student's relationship with a teacher. Along with this attention, people have again started wondering about her personal life.

In the past, the 21-year-old has had to quell rumors about her love life as gossip websites connected her to Hollywood A-Lister, Johnny Depp, a fellow muse of Tim Burton who directed her in Wednesday.

But it seems the 20-year-old was keen to pour cold water on the rumors and took to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight.

"This is so ridiculous I can't even laugh," she wrote, adding: "I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone."

Not only that, but Johnny himself was also keen to shut down the reports. His representatives said in a statement to NME: "Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever. He has never met her or spoken to her."

However, now that Jenna is a big star many are wondering who the actress is involved with. She's notoriously private when it comes to her personal life and tends to keep it away from the spotlight. Amid new interest in her love life, here's everything you need to know about the star's relationships...

Who is Jenna Ortega dating?

It appears that Jenna Ortega is currently single. Extremely private, the 20-year-old rarely posts about her personal life on social media, however, in the past rumors have linked the actress to other well-known stars.

After starring as Wednesday on the Netflix series, fans initially wondered whether the on-screen chemistry between Jenna and her co-star Hunter Doohan, who plays Tyler Galpin on the show, could translate to a romance off-screen, however, any questions were quickly dismissed after it was revealed that Hunter is actually married to husband, Fielder Jewett. The loved-up couple tied the knot in a beautiful woodland ceremony, surrounded by close friends and family.

Fans have similarly speculated that Jenna might be dating co-star Emma Myers, who plays Enid in the show. Emma said of their relationship: "We get along so well, I love Jenna. She's one of my closest friends. I think we have a different dynamic off-screen, but I still don't think it's any less important or deep or beautiful than Enid and Wednesday's."

Despite their close relationship, there's been no confirmation that there might be any more to it than meets the eye. Nor has Jenna confirmed her sexuality, although she's notably a firm supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.

In 2018, it was speculated that Jenna could be dating actor Asher Angel after they attended Just Jared's Annual Halloween Party together. Dressed as then-couple, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson, the pair's joint costume sparked endless questions from fans. However, despite being spotted at several events together, including fashion shows and the premiere of Venom, Jenna and Asher never clarified whether they were romantically involved or just good friends.

A year prior, there had been rumours that Jenna could be dating singer Jacob Sartorius after she appeared in his music video for 'Chapstick' where they shared a kiss. Months later, however, he revealed that he was actually in a relationship with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown. The couple later broke up in 2018.

What else is there to know about Jenna Ortega?

The actress is gearing up for a bright future on the big screen. She recently finished her latest film, Miller's Girl, which shocked viewers. She has also worked on her second project with Tim Burton, Beetlejuice, set for release in September 2024.

Meanwhile, her show Wednesday has received critical acclaim and Jenna previously shared how thrilled she was that the show has received 12 Emmy nominations. Posting on Instagram back in July, she said: "What wonderful news to hear the Wednesday team has received twelve Emmy nominations. I've been so fortunate to witness first-hand the incredible time/effort being put in by our cast, crew, writers, and directors, and feel so excited to be able to share this with them."
