Jenna Ortega, one of Hollywood’s brightest young stars, recently addressed the rumors circulating about her supposedly “serious relationship” with Johnny Depp.

These rumors began to spread last year after an anonymous report claimed that Ortega and Depp had been spotted together, sparking a wave of speculation. Ortega, who has consistently kept her personal life private, finally broke her silence during a light-hearted interview with BuzzFeed Celeb, where she was promoting her upcoming film, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice“.

When asked about the craziest rumor she had heard about her, Ortega did not hesitate to answer: “Probably that I was in a serious relationship with Johnny Depp and wanted everyone to ‘leave us alone.’”she said, clearly amused by the absurdity of the rumor.

The actress explained that she had never spoken publicly about the issue, but that some media outlets quoted her as if she had. “It’s so insane to me, like I never talked about it, I never said anything like that.”Ortega said, highlighting how some media outlets tend to fabricate quotes.

He also shared a humorous anecdote about his co-star, Richard E. Grant, who jokingly asked her on set about her “relationship” with Depp. Ortega laughed and said, “I don’t know that person.”stressing that she has never met Depp.

Despite her youth, Ortega has already faced the challenges that come with fame, including the invasion of her privacy. Although she has handled these rumors with grace, she made it clear that she has no intention of speaking publicly about her love life.

In a previous interview with Vanity Fair, Ortega explained her decision to keep her personal life private, stating, “I don’t plan to talk about my love life in public, because that’s my own.” She believes that the overexposure of a celebrity’s personal life can overshadow their work, a sentiment she deeply values.

Depp, for his part, was also quick to deny the rumors when they first surfaced. His representatives issued a statement clarifying that Depp had never met or worked with Ortega and that he considered the rumors unfounded and damaging to his reputation.

As Jenna Ortega continues to ascend in her career, with the upcoming release of “Beetlejuice” Beetlejuice and the highly-anticipated second season of “Wednesday,” it’s clear that she’d rather focus on her work than get involved in the incessant gossip that often accompanies fame.
