Who Is Jenna Ortega Dating?
That said, the Wednesday star *did* share a rare update on her relationship status during an August 2024 interview with Vanity Fair when she said, 'I don't plan on speaking about my love life publicly, because that's mine.' Honestly, truer words!
Given all of this, it's no surprise that Jenna has never been in a relationship that the public knows about. Even so, relationship rumors follow her pretty regularly. Here's a list of Jenna Ortega relationship rumors throughout the years—literally all of which have turned out to be false—and how they were ultimately corrected.
Jenna and Jacob sparked untrue dating rumors after the actor appeared in the musician's music video for his song, 'Chapstick.'
In the vid, the two stars pretended to be on a date while gallivanting around New York City playing carnival games, eating ice cream, roasting marshmallows, and walking across the Brooklyn Bridge together. In other words, a picture-perfect day that would have made middle school me weep.
Let's roll back the tapes, shall we?
Despite the fact that Jenna and Jacob appeared to have *tons* of on-screen chemistry, they never actually became more than just friends IRL. As the musician put it during a convo with J-14 at the time,'We're really good friends.'
He went on to add, 'It was really fun to film the video. She's really nice, so we had good chemistry on camera and off.' But that was it, apparently!
Fans first began speculating about the Disney channel stars after they showed up to the Venom movie premiere together in October 2018.
The pair also made a handful public appearances together afterwards. Case in point? Just Jared's 7th Annual Halloween Party, where they wore the cutest couples costume. Enter: my renewed obsession with Ari and Pete.
They were also spotted at a fashion show, during which Asher wasted no time posting a cute vid with the caption "this one ❤️" on his Insta Stories, per J-14. Despite tons of fan support and speculation, neither Jenna nor Asher ever confirmed (or denied) the relationship rumors.
However! Some fans believe Asher is the person Jenna very briefly alluded to when she referenced an ex on Dax Shepherd's Armchair Expert podcast in March 2023.
'I was in a relationship for a couple of years but I stopped when things got too hectic,' Jenna said at the time.
'Kay, so this one ab-so-lute-ly never happened, but it tricked the internet for a hot sec.
Back in early 2023, a fully fake rumor spread about Jenna and Kendall Jenner's on-and-off-again boyfriend Devin Booker going on a dinner date together, with supposed 'photographic evidence' of them leaving a restaurant. But fans quickly deduced that the image was entirely photoshopped, putting an end to the fakery.
And that's that! As far as fans know, Jenna is happily single right now...though if that changes, the public will probably be the last to know.

What Kyla Pratt And Her Daughter Look Like Now
This is the phenomenal Kyla Pratt, and she's a mommy. No, she's a mom. She has a daughter, a human child, and she's seriously a spitting image of her parents. Kyla and her longtime boyfriend, tattoo artist Danny Kirkpatrick, have been together since 2008, and share two daughters, Liyah, born in 2013, and Lyric, born in 2010. Before her adventures in motherhood, Kyla had the late '90s/early 2000s on lock, reprising her role in sequels to 1998's Dr. Doolittle, starring in One on One, and voicing Penny Proud in The Proud Family. Kyla's currently reprising her role as Penny in the revival series, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder on Disney+. But, even with those most impressive acting credits, Kyla's most groundbreaking role is co-starring in her daughter Lyric's TikTok because why do they look so alike, and why do I feel ancient now? Back in 2023, Kyla and Lyric made their TikTok debut together for the first time, and everyone was stunned by their identical appearance. Now, Lyric has posted new videos with her mom, and people are even more flabbergasted at how much they look like each other. In a TikTok shared on Aug. 1, Lyric and Kyla were joined by internet personality and actor Charles Brockman III to recreate an iconic moment from the very first episode of The Proud Family, "Bring It On." People are rightfully losing it over the similarities. One person even joked that Lyric "literally looks like Penny" from The Proud Family. Another said that she "could play penny proud in a live action" version of the animated series. And like most millennials who grew up with Kyla, this person said, "this just healed something in me," and I get it. Lyric really looks JUST LIKE her mother! And, of course, she looks like her daddy, too! Look at those adorable smiles.

The Wildest Space Scene Of The Year Is In A New Family Movie
The golden age of Disney and Pixar is long gone, and modern animated family movies rarely exert much effort anymore. Enter The Bad Guys 2, a sequel to an okay adaptation of a series of graphic novels for children. The sequel is more than OK, it's a blast. The Bad Guys made plenty of money by being alright. The sequel could have made similar money by being alright again. They didn't have to try all that hard, which is why they deserve tons of praise. Try hard is exactly what the Bad Guys 2 team did. Bad Guys 2 is better than the first Bad Guys in nearly every way. It's a wild animated adventure with its own sense of style and nonstop momentum set to one of the best motion picture soundtracks of the year. The score by Daniel Pemberton is fantastic, but it'll get almost no credit because it's in a kids' movie that isn't trying to be serious. Pemberton is a legitimate talent. He did the score for the first Bad Guys, but he's also the ear behind the noteworthy music in Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse. The score especially shines during the movie's best action sequence. It's one of the most energetic, fun, cartoony rocket launches ever laid out on screen. The movie's almost worth seeing just to watch Wolf, Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Legs scaling that rocket in mid-flight. It leads to the second-best space sequence of the year, beaten out only by the wild space chase in Marvel's new Fantastic Four. By now, I probably should have explained that this franchise is about a group of traditionally evil characters (The Big Bad Wolf, for example) who decide to stop being bad and try to be good. The second movie begins where the first movie left off, with our heroes having completed their transition away from being villains, only to discover that no one trusts them and they can't get a job. They get wrapped up in a heist with other still-bad guys, and things spin out of control. What's important is that every movie frame is packed with something exciting and fun. It never stops moving and creating. In that sense, Bad Guys 2 captures the feeling of the books. If you've read any of them with your kids, you know the strength of Aaron Blabey's books is how free they feel, as if anything and everything is always on the table at all times. The books are a non-stop thrill, and the sequel captures that better than the first movie. I'm not suggesting here that this is the kind of movie adults should seek out, without kids. You'll need someone under the age of 12 along with you to enjoy what The Bad Guys 2 has to offer. But if you go, you'll love this turbo-charged cartoon ride. Solve the daily Crossword
