Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega react to dating rumors
Johnny Depp, 60, and Jenna Ortega, 20, have reacted to the romance speculations between them.
The two sparked dating rumors after DeuxMoi—a well-known entertainment Instagram page—reported that the international stars were spotted together on a date.
Johnny’s representative denied the rumors in a statement provided to NME, saying he “has no personal or professional relationship with Ms. Ortega whatsoever.”
“He has never met her or spoken to her. He is not involved in any project with her, nor does he intend to be. He is appalled by these baseless and malicious rumors that are intended to harm his reputation and career,” they said.
According to a report by entertainment site Just Jared, Jenna called the speculations “ridiculous” in a now-deleted Instagram story.
“This is so ridiculous I can’t even laugh,” she wrote. “I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”
Johnny, who is best known for his role in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, was previously married to Amber Heard.
Jenna, meanwhile, has been linked to Jacob Sartorius and Asher Angel over the years. She became famous for her role in the hit Netflix show Wednesday.
