Rumors recently claimed that Johnny Depp was dating actress Jenna Ortega. The speculation spread quickly after a gossip account suggested the two had been seen together.
The story gained traction online. But it was not true.
Jenna Ortega responded first. She made it clear she has never met Depp and has never worked with him. She called the rumors ridiculous and asked people to stop spreading false information.
Soon after, Depp’s representatives issued a direct statement. They confirmed he has no personal or professional relationship with Ortega. According to his team, the two have never met, spoken, or planned any project together. They described the rumors as baseless and damaging.
The speculation comes at a time when Depp’s personal life still draws attention following his public legal battle with Amber Heard. However, in this case, there is no story behind the headlines.
Both actors have clearly denied the claims.
This appears to be another example of how quickly online gossip can spread — even without evidence.
