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, originally tried to keep her relationship with the former Arsenal player, 39, under wraps after they were first linked together in summer 2023.
By Christmas they had gone Instagram official and last weekend saw them pose 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 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 star 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.”
