Beloved TV presenter Alex Scott has found a new partner, and she's no stranger to the spotlight.
In a recent twist, a budding romance between a renowned football pundit and a chart-topping pop star has come to light. While their love story began discreetly, it has now sparked curiosity and excitement among fans and media alike.
A new power couple
The football pundit in question is none other than Alex Scott, a well-known name in the sports world. In addition to her impressive career on the field, she released her autobiography, How (Not) To Be Strong, where she candidly shared her experiences, including her eight-year-long, previously undisclosed relationship with fellow Lioness team-mate Kelly Smith.
On the other side of this surprise romance is a chart-topping pop sensation, who has experienced her own share of ups and downs in the music industry. The pop star, who has graced the charts with hits like Rather Be and Hold My Hand, is Jess Glynne.
As per The Evening Standard, the couple have been dating for approximately two months, and their relationship has remained low-key until now. The duo has been spotted together on multiple occasions, sparking rumors of a romance.
Jess Glynne, known for hits like Hold My Hand, is 33 years old, while former Strictly Come Dancing star Alex Scott is 38. They were first seen together at Wimbledon in July, and their connection has grown stronger since then. Most recently, they attended David Beckham's exclusive Netflix documentary premiere after-party in West London. At the afterparty at London’s The Twenty Two venue though they danced the night away, partying with all of the Beckham family.
A source shared insights into their relationship, saying that Alex and Jess are 'officially an item now and are really happy'. They told The Sun:
'Alex and Jess have been a slow burn and they didn't want to rush things or go public too soon. But they're officially an item now and seem really happy. They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect for their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.'
Neither Jess Glynne nor Alex Scott's representatives have commented on the relationship.
Jess Glynne's tumultuous career
Jess's journey to stardom was marked by dedication and hard work. She began her career working odd jobs and eventually secured a position at a music management company in her late teens.
She then spent years honing her skills as a singer, attending a music course to further develop her craft. In 2013, she was signed to Black Butter Records and Atlantic Records, where she caught the attention of producers and fellow artists. Her breakthrough came with the hit track Rather Be, a collaboration with Clean Bandit that soared to number one and earned her a Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2014.
Despite her early success, Jess Glynne faced challenges along the way. In 2019, she suffered a setback when she was permanently barred from performing at the Isle of Wight Festival due to a last-minute cancellation. The cancellation, attributed to anxiety and exhaustion, caused disappointment among festival organizers and fans. However, despite initial reports of a lifetime ban, it was later announced that Jess's ban had been lifted in 2020.
More recently, Jess Glynne made headlines when she signed with Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation, in 2022, aiming to break into the U.S. market. This move aligns her with other high-profile Roc Nation clients like Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, and Megan Thee Stallion.
