Station 19’s Jaina Lee Ortiz and Jay Hayden celebrate Christmas together
Jaina Lee Ortiz And Jay HaydenNo fire was put out at Christmas, but they did add fuel to the romance rumors about them with their flirty festivities.
The Station 19 costars — who play Andy Herrera and Travis Montgomery, respectively — gave fans a glimpse into their off-screen dynamic via Ortiz’s Instagram Story on Monday, December 25.
“Merry Christmas, filthy animals!” The 37-year-old actress captioned a boomerang video of her clinking cocktails with one of her friends, referencing the iconic line from Home alone.
Halfway through the clip, Hayden, 36, appeared on screen with a silly face. Ortiz tagged both Hayden and the actor Eddie Rivera. Ortiz later shared a video of her process of making empanadas. “Keeping traditions alive,” she captioned the post, adding a Puerto Rican flag emoji.
Hayden and Ortiz have been working together on the ABC firefighter drama since 2018. Earlier this month, the network announced that the Grey’s anatomy The spin-off will come to an end after the shortened 10-episode season 7 in 2024.
Despite being friends for years, Hayden and Ortiz sparked romance speculation in July after they shared photos from a getaway to Pantelleria, Italy.
Hayden posted two snapshots with Ortiz from the Italian island on July 2, one of which showed the duo covered in mud. In the second photo, Hayden wore blue swim trunks and a Boston Red Sox baseball hat, while Ortiz pulled a tank top over her bikini and had her hair pulled back into a bun.
A few days later, Hayden shared a video of the European excursion, which showed the costars swimming in the sea together and taking multiple scenic routes through the city. They also eat local dishes and cocktails.
“Pantelleria, I love you!” Ortiz captioned two photos of herself sipping a drink and watching the sunset while on vacation. She credited Hayden as the photographer for the July 8 photo.

A month later, Ortiz shared it a sexy photo by the pool with her back to the camera, showing off her derriere in a racy bikini. The actress tagged Hayden in the post, noting that it was captured in June, which was apparently when the pair headed to Italy together.
Prior to his rumored romance with Ortiz, Hayden was married Nicole Hayden for almost 15 years. We weekly confirmed in April 2021 that the former couple quietly split a year earlier. Nicole filed for divorce in February 2020, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for dissolving their union.
