Alex and Jack, who is a former Sheffield United player, have been dating since they met at sixth-form college in Merseyside.

Jack retired from football in 2023, but Alex has admitted that even when they're not playing the couple spend their time dissecting footage of games.

'Often, at home, all Jack and I talk about is football,' Greenwood told The Guardian in 2023. 'We watch it and analyse it all the time. People ask what I do to get away from the game but I don’t want to escape it.'

Alex is known as one of the most glamorous members of the squad, with team-mate Jordan Nobbs previously saying she is 'very big into her heels, her dresses and her eyelashes'.

In 2013, she revealed she is a 'girly-girl' and loves shopping as well as getting her hair and makeup done.

She told Liverpool Echo: 'I’ve always been a girly girl and I love getting my hair done but that doesn’t mean I can’t play football.'
