The couple looked in good spirits as they watched Arsenal defeat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
The pair were all smiles as they cosied up for a selfie on Alex’s phone, with the TV presenter, 40, wrapped up in a grey coat and matching jumper.

Jess, 35, opted for a black leather coat which she wore over a matching turtle neck jumper with a silver necklace.
Alex recently told how she and Jess have ‘become the same person’ since moving in together in a rare comment about their relationship.

Detailing her daily routine in The Times, Alex wrote: ‘I wake up next to my partner, Jess, who has become the same person as me over the past year and a half’.
‘She can see what going to the gym does for me mentally, so she’ll do the same’.
It was recently rumoured that the pair are considering a permanent move across the pond.
Alex’s future at the BBC has reportedly been thrown into doubt, with sources claiming she’s been ‘deeply hurt’ by a ‘lack of support’ surrounding Football Focus.
The presenter is thought to have made a complaint to channel bosses last year after the their response to criticism she faced around the show’s low viewing figures.
According to The Sun, Alex is now thought to be ‘considering other offers,’ and is even contemplate a move to the US with girlfriend Jess, as her BBC contract is up for renewal next year.
Alex has also stepped down from her hosting gig on Children On Need, with Rochelle Humes and Vernon Ka fronting the show this year.
A source said: ‘Alex has never been happier than she is right now, she’s just turned 40 and embracing a new chapter in her life, and the decision to part ways from Children In Need – an event she is hugely proud to have been a part of – was entirely mutual.

‘There are no guarantees she will be with the BBC next summer – her contract is up for renewal and she is in talks for a raft of other exciting projects.
‘Last year she was hugely hurt by unfair criticism about falling viewing figures – and felt she was thrown under a bus. The viewing figures were not as reported and she feels no-one backed her up and issued the correct viewing figures.
Jess and Alex have been romantically linked since October 2023, after reports emerged they had been dating for months prior.
A source at the time said: ‘Alex and Jess have been a slow burn and they didn’t want to rush things or go public too soon.’
Alex recently revealed she kept her relationship with Jess a secret for more than a year because they both ‘knew their love was special’.
The former footballer and her singer girlfriend made their public debut as a couple in March at the BRIT Awards by posing on the carpet together.
Alex explained how they wanted to protect themselves for as long as possible, she said: ‘It took us a while because we knew what we have is so special, so it has been about trying to protect that and keep that for us in such a way that it continues to be beautiful.’
She recalled a sweet early memory when they met for the first time and Alex admitted she didn’t know how to act which caused Jess to jokily say ‘Are you not going to put your arms around me?’.
Alex shared the awkward encounter is still something they laugh about now.
