Speculations regarding Jenna Ortega dating Johnny Depp have resurfaced, generating curiosity among fans. Despite having a 40-year age gap, the duo was reported to be involved in a romantic relationship last year. This rumor has once again started to make the rounds on the internet.

So, is Jenna Ortega dating Johnny Depp? Here is all that you need to know regarding the supposed association between the two actors.

Are Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega dating?

No, Jenna Ortega is not dating Johnny Depp. The two are not confirmed to be involved with each other in any capacity.

Both Depp and Ortega have responded to this rumor in a negative way, squashing the news before it garnered any more attention. The story first came out in September 2023, courtesy of an infamous celebrity gossip account named Deux Moi. It gained significant online traction after it was reported that the two actors might team up in Tim Burton’s upcoming Beetlejuice sequel.

Nevertheless, Johnny Depp was quick to deny that he was working on the project or had any connection to Ortega. Per NME, his representative came out to state that the Pirates of the Caribbean star has no professional or personal relationship with the 21-year-old actress. They also added that Depp has never met with Ortega and that the rumors are “baseless and malicious.”

Jenna Ortega echoed this response via an Instagram story. While the post was swiftly removed, its contents were duly shared by some news outlets. According to the same NME report as well as the Daily Mail, her post stated, “This is so ridiculous I can’t even laugh. I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”

Besides, the source account is infamous for sharing several baseless rumors about celebrities. Deux Moi’s Instagram bio openly states that their stories are unconfirmed and should not be treated as facts.
