Buckle up, folks—because former footballer and TV sensation Alex Scott just spilled the tea on her whirlwind romance with pop star Jess Glynne, and it’s the kind of love story that’ll have you swooning (and maybe a little jealous). While chatting with her campmates on *I’m A Celebrity*, Alex didn’t hold back, gushing about the singer like she was straight out of a rom-com. “I think before her I never knew happiness,” she confessed to Ruby Wax. Yep, these two have been head-over-heels since 2023, and the details? Absolutely wild!
So, how did this power couple even cross paths? Alex dropped the bombshell during her jungle heart-to-heart: It all went down in one of those ultra-exclusive, boujie private membership clubs in London. Picture this—Alex is chilling with her squad when Jess, the “Hold My Hand” hitmaker, struts right up to her like a boss. “She just walked up to me. Really ballsy,” Alex recalled with a grin. “And I was like, ‘I like your ballsiness’!” Boom—instant sparks flew, and before you know it, they were falling madly in love. Talk about a meet-cute that’s equal parts bold and bizarre—who approaches a celeb crush in a swanky spot like that? Insane confidence levels!
Their electric first encounter sparked in early 2023, but the world got its first glimpse of the duo in May that year. They popped up together on a panel at Advertising Week Europe, looking effortlessly cool and connected. From there, the sightings kept coming—red carpet events, cozy outings—but they played it coy until October 2023, when tabloids finally confirmed what everyone was whispering: These two are officially an item!
Now, the million-dollar question: Are Alex and Jess engaged? Not quite yet, but hold onto your hats because Alex’s confession had us all melting. “I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask Rubes,” she told Ruby Wax. “I know my forever is with her.” Aww! Ruby, ever the supportive campmate, later shared in the Bush Telegraph: “It’s so nice to hear a love story between two women, two big stars. So many years ago that wouldn’t be allowed on television. Or even for her to have the nerve to talk about it out loud.” Preach, Ruby—this is progress we love to see!
Alex didn’t stop there; she got real about her journey to love. Opening up to Ruby, Lisa Riley, and the gang, she shared: “I had relationships with men all my life, there was just always something missing for me.” Her first experience with a woman? At just 17—and it was a rollercoaster. “I was like fighting it. I’d go back to men in between because, like I said for me, it’s always about the connection. I’m attracted to me still, but that connection would wear off for me,” she explained. Fast-forward to Jess, and that missing piece? Found. It’s a raw, honest tale of self-discovery that hits right in the feels.
To toast this epic romance, let’s rewind to some of our fave Jess and Alex red carpet moments—those glamorous snaps where their chemistry steals the show. From stolen glances to arm-in-arm struts, these two are redefining couple goals. Here’s to more love, laughs, and maybe that proposal soon? We can’t wait! 💖
