Last updated 5th Mar 2024
Jess Glynne has publicly addressed her relationship with former England footballer Alex Scott for the first time, after the happy couple attended The BRIT Awards together. The pair were first romantically linked back in May 2023, and have since been pictured at a number of events together.
The pair have kept their relationship private so far, but Jess has now opened up about her girlfriend, sweetly explaining that she's 'really happy'. Speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, the 34-year-old 'Hold My Hand' hitmaker 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."
Opening up about the challenges of having a relationship in the public eye, Jess added: "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."
Back in October 2023, Jess celebrated her 34th birthday, when she also appeared to confirm her relationship with Alex.
On 20th October, Jess took to her Instagram Stories to promote her single 'Friend Of Mine', as well as sharing many of the birthday messages she received. One of the messages was Alex Scott's Instagram Story, which included a photo of Jess with the words: 'Happy Birthday Happy new song day and you day'.
This was the first time the pair publicly shared anything about their relationship.
'Friend Of Mine' was written with Jess' longtime collaborator Jin Jin. Speaking about the track at the time of its release, Jess said: "This song is about honesty and forgiveness. All friendships and relationships have their ups and downs, life isn’t perfect. Hopefully people can hear their own stories in the lyrics and it brings them hope."
