Jenna Ortega has no intention of discussing her romantic life publicly anytime soon.
The *Wednesday* star prefers to keep her personal affairs under wraps, especially regarding her dating history. In a recent interview with *Vanity Fair*, Ortega explained her reasons for maintaining privacy despite her rising fame in Hollywood.
“I don’t plan on talking about my love life publicly because that’s mine,” she stated. “When you know too much about someone’s personal life, it alters how you perceive their performances—there’s nothing worse than that.”
Ortega also shared her thoughts on adapting to fame, describing it as a learning experience: “The majority of the last year and a half has felt very distant from me,” she said, characterizing her rise to stardom as “dissociative, alien, and out-of-body.” She expressed that hearing her name mentioned feels as if it has been taken from her, adding, “Now I just feel like I’m floating… and I’m open to interpretation.”
This perspective clearly influences her approach to her love life, as little is known about her romantic relationships since she gained recognition as a Disney Channel star. Below, we summarize everything we know about her rumored romances.
Asher Angel (2018)
Ortega is rumored to have dated fellow Disney Channel star Asher Angel. While the duration of their relationship remains unclear, romance rumors began in fall 2018 when they were seen together at several red carpet events. That Halloween, they even coordinated their costumes, with Ortega dressing as Ariana Grande and Angel as Pete Davidson.
Neither Ortega nor Angel has confirmed their relationship, but some fans believe Ortega hinted at him being an ex during a March 2023 appearance on Dax Shepard’s *Armchair Expert* podcast. “I was in a relationship for a couple of years, but I ended it when things got too hectic,” she mentioned. “It had nothing to do with them; it was just that I couldn’t manage everything.”
Fans speculated that Ortega was dating singer Jacob Sartorius after she appeared as his love interest in the music video for “Chapstick.” However, Sartorius later clarified in an interview with *J-14* that they are just good friends. “She’s really nice, and it was fun to film the video. We had great chemistry both on and off camera,” he said.
