Stepping into 2023 seems almost like stepping into an alternative universe as words of unlikely couples are being caught in the rumour mill. Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne with American rapper Tyga, musicians Shawn Mendes and Sabrina Carpenter, and recently, there are whispers of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny getting together after they were pictured leaving the Oscars party together. Most recently, rumours of Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker dating have been circulating, scroll down to see our verdict.
Hollywood’s newest ‘it girl’, Jenna Ortega, amassed tremendous attention after the successes of the Netflix series Wednesday, Scream Queen, The Babysitter: Killer Queen and more. The 20-year-old also has been making headlines with her brand partnerships and red-carpet fashion.
On the other hand, 26-year-old NBA player Devin Booker is one of the elites in the game, and he is known for previously publicly dating American model Kendall Jenner from 2020 to 2022.
The shocking revelation came out after an alleged photograph of Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker holding hands was shared on Twitter.

The image showed the plausible couple holding hands which went viral on the platform. Fans quickly dug up Jenna’s interview from 2022 where she revealed her favourite player NBA to be Devin and gushed about him. “He just has a certain swagger to him, and he’s so fun to watch, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else winning MVP,” shared Jenna.
While fans of the actor retweeted the image in response to the wild speculation, others realised that it was only a Photoshopped image circulated by a satirical account. Social media users were able to identify the stars’ pictures as the photographs were taken at totally different events and were Photoshopped into one.

Understandably, Jenna Ortega and Devin Booker have not yet responded to the claim. Whilst the news may be fake, we do think they’d make the perfect it couple.
