Alex Scott has revealed that she is loving being ‘more vulnerable’ in her relationship with girlfriend Jess Glynne.
The ex-footballer, 39, spoke in a candid interview with Women’s Health UK on Tuesday where she lifted the lid on her bond with singer Jess, 34.
She stunned in shots wearing a black bodysuit and gushed about how much she was enjoying being with the star.
Alex said: ‘I’m in this bubble at the moment… I am more open to accepting and being more vulnerable and I’m absolutely enjoying this stage.
‘I’m enjoying being like, okay, I’m just gonna roll with this. I think, before, I was very walls up. All those walls have, like, come down.’

Elsewhere in the interview Alex insisted vile racist and misogynistic abuse from cruel trolls spur her on to ‘keep doing her job to a level haters cannot stand’.
She described it as ‘a bit of ammunition to keep going and celebrate because you’re rubbing people up the wrong way’.
The former Lioness, who is preparing to host the Euros 2024 in June, said: ‘I’m gonna keep thriving, I’m gonna keep killing you with my kindness and doing my job to a level that you cannot stand.’
It comes after Jess gushed that their high-profile relationship has only attracted ‘super-positive’ attention.
The hitmaker, who went Instagram official with the football presenter at Christmas last year, said she ‘didn’t know what to expect’ when they got together.
Having always kept previous relationships ‘very private’ – she happily revealed that the couple ‘haven’t received any negativity at all’.
She told The Times: ‘It is a different kind of attention for me, but so far all of that attention has been super-positive.
‘I have never put my personal life in the public eye before, so I had no idea what to expect. Probably due to me not being in relationships with anyone famous, I had always managed to keep that side of me very private.

She added: ‘I’m enjoying being like, okay, I’m just gonna roll with this. I think, before, I was very walls up. All those walls have, like, come down’
‘The interest was inevitable with us, but you know there isn’t a negative, because we haven’t had any negativity at all.
‘We both give so much in what we do that coming home to your friends, to your family, to your partner, that’s the ‘you’ time. I never want to sell that short.’
It came after last month Jess opened up about her relationship with girlfriend Alex, saying sweetly that she is in a ‘happy relationship’.
The Take Me Home artist said their romance is going ‘really good’ and she is ‘feeling very comfortable’ with the ex Arsenal player.

Speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, Jess said: ‘The work that I’ve done on myself has actually settled me inside and it’s allowed me to enter a relationship where I feel very comfortable and I’m just me. I’m unapologetically me.
‘It has allowed me to be really happy in a new relationship. I think love is a really scary subject and it’s normally something I keep quite distant.
‘But it’s a nice thing to be able to embrace someone and a relationship that feels really genuinely good’.
However, Jess said that having a relationship in the public eye is still hard and she likes to try and keep her ‘personal life to herself’.
She continued: ‘It’s something that I’m getting used to. I do love to somehow keep my personal life to myself. It’s so important.
‘Even though we’re both in this public space, what we have, that’s ours. I feel like that’s something I will always do.
‘People want so much from you and what is so beautiful is that we both feel like that way and it’s something we will stick to and keep to ourselves.’
Alex and Jess were first pictured sharing a passionate kiss together in November last year.
But it was first reported Alex and Jess were in a secret relationship in the summer of 2023.

In January, Jess and Alex went social media official for the first time at the BBC SPOTY Awards – despite being linked since October
Of their relationship, a friend told The Sun at the time: ‘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.’
