The former footballer, 39, spoke in a candid interview with Women’s Health UK on Tuesday where she revealed her relationship with singer Jess, 34.
Alex Scott has revealed he loves being “more vulnerable” in his relationship with girlfriend Jess Glynne.
Elsewhere in the interview, Alex insisted that the vile racist and misogynistic abuse from cruel trolls prompts her to “continue doing her job at a level that the haters can’t stand.”
He described it as “a little bit of ammunition to go ahead and celebrate because you’re bothering people.”
The former Lioness, who is preparing to host Euro 2024 in June, said: “I’m going to continue to thrive, I’m going to continue to kill you with my kindness and doing my job at a level you can’t stand.”
It comes after Jess gushed that her high-profile relationship has only attracted “super positive” attention.
The singer, 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 said The times: ‘For me it’s a different type of attention, but so far all that attention has been super positive.
‘I had never exposed my personal life to the public before, so I had no idea what to expect. Probably because I didn’t have relationships with anyone famous, I always managed to keep that side of me very private.
Alex said: “I’m in this bubble at the moment… I’m more open to accepting and being more vulnerable and I’m absolutely enjoying this stage.”
She added: “I’m enjoying saying, okay, I’m going to get on with this.” I think I was very closed-minded before. All those walls have collapsed.
‘Interest was inevitable between us, but you know there’s nothing negative, because we haven’t had any negativity at all.
‘We both give so much to what we do that coming home to your friends, your family, your partner, that’s the ‘you’ moment. I never want to fall that short.’
It came after Jess opened up about her relationship with her girlfriend Alex last month, sweetly saying she is in a “happy relationship”.
The Take Me Home artist stated that their romance is going “very well” and that she “feels very comfortable” with the former Arsenal player.

Talking to Fearne Cotton about her Happy place On the podcast, Jess said: “The work I’ve done on myself has really settled me inside and allowed me to get into a relationship where I feel very comfortable and it’s just me.” It’s me unapologetically.
‘It has allowed me to be really happy in a new relationship. I think love is a really scary topic and it’s usually something I keep pretty distant.
“But it’s nice to be able to hug someone and have a relationship that feels really good.”
However, Jess said that having a relationship in the public eye is still difficult and that she likes to try to keep her “personal life to herself.”
He continued: ‘It’s something I’m getting used to. I love to keep my personal life to myself somewhat. It’s very important.
‘Even though we are both in this public space, what we have is ours. I feel like that’s something I’ll always do.
“People love you so much and what’s so beautiful is that we both feel that way and it’s something we’ll hold on to and keep to ourselves.”
Alex and Jess were first photographed sharing a passionate kiss in November last year.
