Her maternal grandmother migrated to the United States as an illegal immigrant from Sinaloa, Mexico. Her maternal grandfather was Puerto Rican who moved to New York as a child. Jenna's father is Mexican though his family moved to California before he was born. When Jenna and her siblings were little, he struggled to teach them Spanish since her father did not know the language.
On the other hand, Jenna's mom Natalie Ortega was bilingual and taught Spanish to her kids. Natalie is a popular social media influencer who displays her lifestyle promoting various brands. When Jenna showed interest in acting at the age of five, her mother initially thought that she was not serious about the acting. But her desire and interest were rising day by day, so her parents help her with the agents, and later she got a chance of auditions.
With the help from her parents and agents, Jenna appeared in 2012 on the TV series The Baby Bug as a role of a girl. Afterward, she got some of the success in her career and acted with the recurring role of Zoe Leon in FOX's Rake.
