Celebrity gossip has once again taken the spotlight with rumors swirling around Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and Wednesday star Jenna Ortega. The rumors gained momentum when the celebrity gossip page Deuxmoi suggested that the two had been seen together, sparking widespread speculation about a possible romance.
Now, at 61 years old, Johnny Depp has responded to the dating rumors involving the 21-year-old actress. Known for his illustrious film career and personal controversies, Depp’s love life often becomes a subject of public curiosity. But what is the truth behind these latest rumors?
Johnny Depp’s History with Relationships
Johnny Depp’s romantic life has been the subject of much public scrutiny throughout his career. His most notable long-term relationship was with French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, with whom he shared two children, Lily-Rose and Jack. They were together from 1998 until their separation in 2012, and they have reportedly maintained a friendly relationship since their split.
Depp’s marriage to actress Amber Heard, however, attracted significant media attention and controversy. The two met while filming The Rum Diary in 2009, married in 2015, but divorced after just one year. The public fallout from their marriage, including a restraining order filed by Heard and Depp’s subsequent defamation lawsuit victory in 2022, kept his personal life in the spotlight for years.
Johnny Depp and Yulia Vlasova: Another Romance in the Spotlight?
Recently, another romantic connection involving Depp stirred public interest. Depp was spotted with Yulia Vlasova, a Russian model and beautician based in Prague, whom he reportedly met at the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2021. Though the pair have not officially confirmed their relationship, hints from Vlasova’s social media posts have fueled speculation.
Their age difference, with Depp being significantly older than Vlasova (who is in her late twenties), and her resemblance to Amber Heard, have led fans to make comparisons between the two relationships. This, combined with public concerns about their age gap, has sparked further online commentary.
The Jenna Ortega Dating Rumor
Now, the latest dating rumor involving Depp has made headlines—reports have surfaced suggesting that he was romantically involved with 21-year-old Jenna Ortega, known for her role in Wednesday. The gossip, which initially spread through Deuxmoi’s celebrity rumors, caught the attention of fans and the media alike. The speculation gained momentum, leading to comments online about the age gap and the unexpected pairing.
However, both Depp and Ortega have moved swiftly to address these rumors.
Jenna Ortega Denies the Rumors
Jenna Ortega wasted no time setting the record straight. She took to her Instagram story to firmly dismiss the claims, stating, “This is so ridiculous I can’t even laugh. I have never met or worked with Johnny Depp in my life. Please stop spreading lies and leave us alone.”
Her response made it clear that the rumors were baseless and unfounded, effectively putting an end to the speculation about any romantic involvement with Depp.
Johnny Depp’s Representatives Speak Out
Following Ortega’s statement, Depp’s representatives also stepped in to address the situation. They not only denied the dating rumors but also refuted claims that Depp might appear in Beetlejuice 2, the sequel to the 1988 film directed by Tim Burton, in which Ortega is set to star.
A spokesperson for Depp stated, “Mr. Depp 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.”
Conclusion: Rumors Dispelled
With statements from both Johnny Depp’s team and Jenna Ortega, the rumors surrounding a possible romance between the two have been officially debunked. Depp’s representatives have also made it clear that he has no involvement in Beetlejuice 2, effectively putting an end to speculation regarding his participation in the film.
As of now, Johnny Depp remains focused on his career and personal life, while Jenna Ortega continues to thrive in her own projects. This incident serves as a reminder of how quickly celebrity gossip can spread, and how important it is to rely on official statements to clarify the truth.
