BBC star Alex Scott and singer Jess Glynne confirmed their relationship in 2023, but some fans were still surprised to learn that they were together after Jess shared a moving post
Jess Glynne has left fans desperate to find love like hers after a touching post dedicated to her girlfriend. The pop star is usually fairly private about her love life, but couldn’t resist honouring Alex Scott in a sweet TikTok update.
In the post, Jess, 35, shared two photos of herself and football legend Alex, 40. The first snap showed them smiling together while sitting outside in casual clothes, both in sunglasses to protect themselves from the sun. The second photo captured them dressed to the nines, laughing as they cuddled each other at a black tie event. Over the photos Jess added the words “when I am with you there’s no place I’d rather be,” from her hit song with Clean Bandit.
Jess also played the song alongside the pics, with fans in awe of the power couple. “I am so happy for you both you look so happy together,” one person said, while another added: “I love you both I hope I can have this!!!!”
Many people were completely unaware that the couple was dating, with one fan writing: “How did I not know this till now. Such a cute couple I love your music helped me through the hardest time in my life.”
Jess openly celebrating her relationship with Alex comes as a change, after she previously avoided speaking about her love life.
She previously told the Daily Mail: “I’ve never ever confirmed that I’m in a relationship with anyone. I’ve always made a conscious effort to keep something for myself. I’ll never change that. My friendships, family, relationships, those are mine.
“Love who you love, be you and be happy. But it’s a very brutal world and outside judgement is never easy. When someone says, ‘Well, what are you? Heterosexual, bisexual, queer?’, I’m like, ‘Why does that matter to you?'”
Things changed in 2023, when BBC star Alex and Jess confirmed their relationship following plenty of speculation from fans.
In May 2024, Alex gushed over her new love. “I’m in this bubble at the moment,” Scott told Women’s Health. “I am more open to accepting and being more vulnerable, and I’m absolutely enjoying this stage.”
Alex has opened up about how her childhood impacted her romantic life, and she had to learn how to be affectionate with Jess.
“We weren’t allowed to express emotion. Dad didn’t allow us to hug each other or say ‘I love you’. It had a huge impact on us all. To this day, if I want to show people love, I’ll do it by taking them out to dinner and paying,” she told The Times.
“I remember one of the first times Jess hugged me. I was like… [rigid]. She was like, ‘Are you not going to put your arms around me?’ But I didn’t know how to do that.”
