Alex Scott and Jess Glynne are in a 'relationship' after 'keeping romance secret for the past few months'

Alex Scott and Jess Glynne have been secretly dating for the past few months, according to reports.

The football pundit, 38, and the singer, 33, were pictured sharing a warm hug after visiting a cafe in London.  

The duo both attended the premiere of David Beckham’s Netflix documentary on Tuesday night but didn’t pose together. 

Alex and Jess are said to be ‘really happy’ to ‘officially be an item’ after keeping their romance private during the early dating stages.  

A friend 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 of their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.

‘It’s still early days for them, but they’ve met one another’s mates and everyone is super-happy for them.’

MailOnline has contacted Jess and Alex’s representatives for comment. 

Alex and Jess sat next to each other during day two of Wimbledon back in July and in August they were pictured enjoying a drink at the pub. 

Alex hasn’t publicly confirmed if she is currently in a relationship with anyone at the moment.

Back in March, the footballer said she was ‘struggling’ to look for a partner and even took advice from Jamie Redknapp in the hope of finding her perfect match.

She explained she was ‘open’ to getting to know both men and women and ‘never closes herself off’ when it comes to dating.

After ‘struggling’ with some dating apps, Alex said her pal and former footballer Jamie told her about the app Raya, which is commonly used by celebrities.

Speaking about her dating life, she told Grazia magazine: ‘Its really hard [to find someone] cause people have a load of preconceptions. I struggle with apps.

‘For me, it’s all about connection that instant connection with someone and conversation and I’m like ‘Oh wow.’

‘I remember Jamie Redknapp telling me ‘There’s a dating app Raya…’ So I was on it but I was to scared to connect with anyone.’

Alex also admitted she would ‘love’ to have children as she spoke about turning 40 in two years time.

The TV presenter admitted she wasn’t ready to have kids in the past but would have children by herself if she felt it was the right time.

The former Lioness previously opened up about her romance with teammate Kelly Smith in her memoir.

Alex said her fellow athlete was her ‘first love’ as she spoke of the ‘heartbreak’ that followed when they split.

Meanwhile, Jess previously spoke about ‘not putting a label’ on her sexuality in an 2015 interview with The Daily Star.

Saying: ‘I’ve only ever been with one girl in my life and that’s the girl from my album [2015’s I Cry When I Laugh]’.

Adding: ‘I’m never going to put a label on my sexuality and people should never feel uncomfortable about who they love’.
