Jenna Marie Ortega (born September 27, 2002) is an American child actress. She is known for her roles in Jane the Virgin on The CW and Stuck in the Middle on Disney Channel. She is also the voice of Princess Isabel in the Disney Channel animated television series Elena of Avalor.
Ortega is of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent. She is the fourth of six children, so she relates to her Stuck in the Middle character Harley Diaz, the middle child of seven. Ortega became interested in acting from the age of six. Her mother thought she was not serious about it, but by age eight, with her mother's help and agents, Ortega began receiving auditions.
