Jenna Ortega And Natalie Ortega Are Inspiring Mother-Daughter Duo

Jenna Ortega was born to her mother, Natalie Ortega, and her father, Edward A. Ortega. Jenna’s parents have been a great support in her career.

Jenna has always been supported by her family and she has been in the industry since eight. And with her mother and agent’s support, she was able to get an audition for movies and shows and landed a role for Rob in 2012.

She is a well-known celebrity figure with over 9 million followers on Instagram. And some fans are curious to know about the force behind her success, her parents, and her family.

Jenna Ortega Mother Natalie Ortega Is Her Support Back

Jenna Ortega loves her mother, Natalie Ortega, who always has her back. Natalie is a registered nurse at Eisenhower Health, supporting her, but she had to beg her mom to let her pursue a career in acting. She was six years old when she first expressed interest in being an actress.

But her mom and dad disagreed and said she would never be an actor. And one day, her mother got her the monologue book from Barnes and Noble to appease her, she told Wired.com.

And Jenna did a play for her while also hysterically crying, but her mother had no idea what her child was doing. And when Jenna told her that she was doing the play from the monologue she had given her.

Impressed with her performance, Natalie made her do it again and put up the video on Facebook. One of Natalie’s friends was good friends with a casting director and approached her to let Jenna act. And Natalie had agreed to her, saying it would be fine if it were for some time.

However, Jenna is in her 20s already, and she has been doing it for half of her life. She also graduated from school with a 4 GPA. She did well in both her acting career and academics; her mother wrote on Instagram while posting pictures of her graduation day.

Natalie is of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. Her father was born in Puerto Rico to a Mexican mother before they moved to the United States with his family. Natalie may have been born in the United States, but she was babysat by her grandmother often, which made her learn the Spanish language.

However, when Natalie wanted to teach her children the language, it was a barrier because her husband, Edward, was not fluent in Spanish even though he had Mexican ancestry. Jenna shared with Pop Sugar.

Jenna Ortega Father Is A Businessman

Jenna Ortega’s father is Edward A. Ortega. But, many fans thought that she was the daughter of Kenny Ortega because of their same surnames and involvement in the industry.

Jenna addressed this question during the interview with Wired. She said that she and Kenny had talked about it. They met at an event a few years ago, and since he is a successful choreographer and director and is very big in the musical scene, she would love to be related to him.

She may also joke about the possibility of being a cousin and uncle, but she feels uncomfortable calling a stranger an uncle since they have only met once.
Jenna’s father is said to be a businessman, but there is not much information regarding him on the internet, except for the fact that he comes of Mexican descent and his wife,

Natalie is of Mexican and Puerto Rican ancestry. He is also a father to six children.
