Father

Jenna was blessed with a great father. As she confessed on Instagram, he helped her to realize her dreams, and she is thankful to him for it now. 

Mr. Ortega is of Mexican origin, but his family has been living in USA for ages as of now. That’s why her dad can’t speak Spanish and keeps to American traditions. Nevertheless, the Mexican roots are respected in Jenna’s family. Sometimes they eat Mexican dishes (like tamales), or break a piñata for the kid’s birthday.

Jenna has lots of bright women (actresses) around her and she uses some of them as role models. But the main person, who serves as the example for her, is Natalie Ortega, her mother.

This great woman gave birth to 6 kids and raised them in love. Now she cares about her two grandchildren, and looks very young at the same time to be called “a granny”.

Mrs. Ortega was born in the family of Mexican and Puerto Rican immigrants. Natalie’s grandmother illegally immigrated from a small village in Mexico to USA. Jenna’s mother is bilingual, she speaks English and Spanish equally well. She married the love of her life, Mr. Ortega, at a very young age. Both dreamed to have a big family – and now they have a handful of children.

In spite of a busy schedule at home, Natalie balanced her motherhood with a regular and important job. She served as a nurse in an emergency.

Now she is a best friend for her daughter Jenna and other kids in her family.

Mia and Jenna are very close. At the same time, the sisters can laugh at each other on social media sometimes. For example, once Jenna congratulated Mia on Twitter and reminded that the latter one “is getting old”, while Mia called the actress “ugly” in respond.

But aside from any jokes, the girls are real friends. Jenna understands that Mia and their other siblings felt quite uncomfortable, when Mrs. Ortega, their mother, was away from home for months, staying near Jenna at the film set. But Ortega kids are not just cute. They are also very unselfish.
