Alexandra and Stormzy sparked romance rumours after posting a 'loved up' snap of the pair on Instagram in 2020.
The singer star flew out to Poland to see the Own It rapper, 28, perform in Warsaw and after the show, they looked delighted to be in each other's company.

They revealed that Alexandra "flew out for a mad 24 hours to see his show," and the pair "got on like a house on fire."
The snap sent fans into a frenzy with one commenting: "Wow, hang on, what did I miss here?!"
Another wrote: "Eeek.... they look hella close."
While a third mused: "The power couple we never knew we needed."
Jermain Defoe
Alexandra and former Spurs player Jermain, 39, dated briefly in 2012.
However the singer kicked him into touch after she accused the striker of cheating on her.
Fifteen months after their split, Alexandra revealed how the heartache had been instrumental in her record Day Dreams
Speaking to the Daily Record at the time she said: “Working on this new material has been really emotional. I’ve opened up lyrically more than ever and talked about things I never thought I would. But I always write from the heart.”
Writing about the pain of reading about Jermain’s reported infidelities in the papers, her lyrics included: “Millions of people and me, one.
“And I’m feeling I’m the last to know. Our private network we built became a bestseller show.
“What were you thinking at the time when you decided to sleep with her?
“It didn’t stop there, this I know, cos the papers f****** told me so.”
After the drama had subsided Jermain backed his ex to win Strictly in 2017, saying: “For sure she gets my vote, I really hope she wins.
"From what I’ve seen she’s doing really well and it’s not surprising. I’ve seen her on the dancefloor a few times.
“It would be amazing ‘cos she won The X Factor and if she wins Strictly too that will be a big thing.”
