Jenna Ortega reveals she was in a relationship for 'couple of years'

Jenna Ortega has talked about her love life and revealed she was in a relationship for a couple of years.

The Wednesday star recently appeared on the Armchair Expert podcast with host Dax Shepard, via Entertainment Tonight. When she was asked about her love life, the 20-year-old actress replied, “I almost don’t even find myself interested. But a part of it is self-esteem. I’m not ready to be that vulnerable or trusting with someone.”

The actress also revealed that she had to press pause because things got “too hectic” when she was in a relationship.

“It had nothing to do with them, it was just strictly – I couldn’t manage. If there’s one thing I’m going to focus on – which is probably something I need to change – it’s going to be my work,” she said.

Jenna was recently in a report to be dating Asher Angel after the pair showed up to Just Jared’s 7th Annual Halloween Party in a couples’ costume.

Meanwhile, she talked about the close bond with her Wednesday co-stars, Percy Hynes White, George Farmer, and Emma Myers, and shared: “We mothered each other, so whenever someone was busier, like going through something, we were there.”

She also opened up about her special bond with Myers and admitted that she has “ever been so protective of somebody.”

“I think about her all the time. I only ever want to make sure she’s okay and good. I’ve never had that desire or urge for anybody else. She’s a sweetheart. She’s a real person. All three of them are. Friends that I made there are kind of my only friends at the moment,” she added.
