Is Jenna Ortega Brian Ortega’s sister?

Born in Los Angeles, California, Brian Ortega grew up in San Pedro. He was born to Mexican parents who were originally from Hermosillo, Sonora. Rumors suggest that ‘T-City’ holds dual citizenship, making him both American and Mexican. However, this has not been officially proven as of yet. Well, we know that Ortega likes to stay connected to his roots, as he has immense respect for his Hispanic heritage. Just like ‘T-City’, Jenna Ortega is of Mexican descent.

Regardless of everything, are the two celebrities of different worlds related? Well, the short answer to that question is no. Brian Ortega’s father is Martin Ortega, while Jenna Ortega’s father is Edward Ortega, who is a sheriff in California’s district attorney’s office.
