Jess Glynne breaks silence on relationship with Alex Scott

Jess Glynne has spoken for the first time about her relationship with Alex Scott and says she feels “happy” and “comfortable” with the football pundit.

The singer, 34, had initially tried to keep her relationship with the former Arsenal player, 39, under wraps after they were first linked together in the summer of 2023.

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

Speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, Glynne said: “The work I’ve done on myself has actually calmed me down inside and allowed me to enter a relationship where I feel very comfortable and I’m just myself. I’m unapologetically myself.

“It’s 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 far away from.

“But it’s nice to be able to welcome someone and a relationship that seems really good.”

The London-born star has admitted, however, that she finds it difficult to have a relationship in the spotlight and likes to try to keep her “personal life to herself”.

She continued: “It’s something I’m getting used to. I like to keep my private life to myself. It’s so important.”

“Even though we’re both in this public space, what we have is ours. I feel like it’s something I’ll always do.”

“People expect so much from you and what’s so beautiful is that we both feel that way and it’s something that we’ll hold on to and keep to ourselves.”
