Alex Scott makes rare comment about relationship with girlfriend Jess Glynne

Alex Scott has given a rare insight into her relationship with singer Jess Glynne.

The former Arsenal player-turned-sports pundit, 39, and Hold My Hand hit-maker, 34, originally tried to keep their relationship under wraps after they were first linked together in summer 2023.

By Christmas they had gone Instagram official and in February they posed as a couple for the first time in public when they attended the 2024 BRIT Awards.

Appearing on the cover of the May issue of Women’s Health UK, Scott - who is preparing to present Euro 2024 in Germany – gushed to the publication how Glynne had helped her to be “more vulnerable”.

She said: “I’m in this bubble at the moment...I am more open to accepting and being more vulnerable and I’m absolutely enjoying this stage.

“I’m enjoying being like, okay, I’m just gonna roll with this. I think, before, I was very walls up. All those walls have, like, come down.”

Glynne was equally full of praise for her partner while speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast last month.

Glynne said: “The work that I’ve done on myself has actually settled me inside and it’s allowed me to enter a relationship where I feel very comfortable and I’m just me. I’m unapologetically me.

“It has allowed me to be really happy in a new relationship. I think love is a really scary subject and it's normally something I keep quite distant.

“But it’s a nice thing to be able to embrace someone and a relationship that feels really genuinely good”.

The London-born singer did however admit that she found having a relationship in the public eye difficult and that she likes to try and keep her “personal life to herself”.

She continued: “It’s something that I’m getting used to. I do love to somehow keep my personal life to myself. It’s so important.

“Even though we’re both in this public space, what we have, that’s ours. I feel like that’s something I will always do.

“People want so much from you and what is so beautiful is that we both feel like that way and it's something we will stick to and keep to ourselves.”
