Jenna Ortega has revealed the reason why she don't plan on talking about her romantic relationships with the media.
Today (27 September) Ortega celebrates her 22nd birthday which may surprise you, given the fact that she's appeared in multiple high profile films and TV shows at such a young age.
While she may be widely known for her role as Wednesday Addams in the hit Netflix series, Ortega also has a stellar resume as a 'scream queen' due to her appearance in horror films such as X and various instalments of the Scream franchise.

However as her celebrity status rises, there is one thing the actress is determined to keep private - her love life.
Speaking in an interview with Vanity Fair last month, the actress explained why she doesn't feel the need to discuss her romantic relationships publicly.
"I don’t plan on speaking about my love life publicly, because that’s mine," she said.
Aside from a desire to hang on to some privacy in her life, Ortega added that she believed knowing too much about an actor can detract from their work on-screen.
"When you know too much about someone’s personal life, then you watch films and you can only see them [who they are off-screen rather than the character they’re playing]," she added.
"There’s nothing worse."
Ortega later went on to call being famous 'absolutely ridiculous' and revealed that she'd found the increased media attention from the past year 'very dissociative and alien and out-of-body'.
Despite only being in her early twenties, Ortega has already enjoyed a long career in Hollywood, with her first role being in CSI: NY and short-lived CBS sitcom Rob at the age of 10.
Experiencing fame from a young age is likely to have influenced how the actress navigates the relationships in her life, with VF noting that Ortega understands why celebrities chose to date other celebrities due to a shared experience of fame.
Ortega is currently back at Nevermore Academy filming for the second season of Wednesday alongside co-stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
There is no set release date for Wednesday season two, however it is currently expected to land on our screens at some point next year.
Meanwhile Ortega's recent role in the highly anticipated Beetlejuice sequel was a massive hit among fans and critics.
At one point Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was even ranked higher than the 1988 original on film aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, however the sequel has since dipped below and currently sits on a score of 77 percent.
