Jenna Ortega addresses Johnny Depp dating rumors
Jenna Ortega has addressed and dismissed swirling rumors about her allegedly dating Johnny Depp. In a candid moment, Ortega reflected on how bizarre and unfounded these rumors were, even recalling an instance when actor Richard E. Grant asked her about the supposed relationship on set. Ortega described the rumor as “insane” and clarified that she had never made such claims.
During an interview with BuzzFeed, Ortega explained that she found the rumors amusing, noting that she never discussed a relationship with Depp. She emphasized that articles often fabricate quotes and that she had never engaged in any such discussions.”I never said anything like that. I thought that that was pretty hilarious. I was on set with Richard E. Grant and he came up to me and he said, ‘Oh, so you and Johnny…’ and I laughed because I don’t know that person.”
According to NME, last year, Depp’s representatives also denied the rumors. “Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever. He has never met her or spoken to her,” the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s representative said. “He is appalled by these baseless and malicious rumors that are intended to harm his reputation and career.”
In 2024, Ortega reportedly remains single and has not confirmed any romantic involvement. Although rumors about her relationships have surfaced, she has yet to officially acknowledge any serious relationships. Meanwhile, Depp is reportedly in a “casual” relationship with Russian model Yulia Vlasova, as per People.
