In a last attempt to stop people from spreading rumors, Jenna Ortega's statement on her and Johnny Depp dating is clear: “Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”
Depp's representatives also denied the reports, saying, “Mr. Depp has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever.”
How did this rumor even start?
Both Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega have worked with director Tim Burton.
Now, Jenna Ortega is set to portray Lydia Deetz's daughter in an upcoming sequel to Burton's 1988 film Beetlejuice, a role originally played by Winona Ryder. Interestingly, Ryder and Depp used to date and even shared the screen in Burton's Edward Scissorhands.
Folks may have just judged the roles too quickly. But for the last time, Jenna Ortega and Johnny Depp are not dating.
