Are Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker dating?

Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker? It’s a pairing that few expected to be talking about in 2023; however, a new rumor has emerged which has linked the Wednesday actress and Phoenix Suns star… and set the internet on fire!

On Monday, March 14, social media was sent into a frenzy when a paparazzi-style image surfaced on Twitter of Booker and Ortega appearing alongside one another out on the town. “Devin Booker and Jenna Ortega were seen having dinner together last night,” the caption of the tweet alleged.

In the photo, Ortega and Booker appear to be all smiles in the shot which features a TMZ brand watermark, seeming to suggest TMZ was the original source of the story. Given TMZ is known for breaking celebrity dating news and catching stars enjoying time out together, one might assume the dating rumor is legit but there is a lot more to the story.

Are Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker really dating?

If you’re curious to know whether Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker are dating, we can report that the pair are not currently romantically linked and are not dating one another. The report about the pair seeing one another is nothing more than a rumor with the photo that sparked the rumor being a masterfully photoshopped fake.

The original source of the Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker dating rumor is a popular spoof account that has been known to cause chaos on social media in the past with fake reports.

While the photo looks convincing, eagle-eyed fans were quick to help debunk its legitimacy by pointing out the fact that the source had photoshopped an image of Jenna at the Scream 6 premiere into the photo with Booker. The TMZ watermark was likely designed to help sell the validity of the fake image, given TMZ’s history of breaking celebrity relationship news with its insiders.
