Is Alex Scott married and does she have children?
Alex Scott isn't married, nor does she have kids.
However, in October 2023, The Sun exclusively revealed how Alex is in a relationship with Jess Glynn.
She reportedly started dating the pop star in August 2023.
Jess and Alex were first spotted sitting together at Wimbledon in July 2023.
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.”
Her partner Jess has spoken publically about their relationship and has said it hasn’t been easy having a girlfriend in the public eye.
She told Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast: “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.”
Scott told The Sun about her relationship with Jesse: “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.”

Who has Alex Scott dated?
Alex normally keeps pretty tight-lipped about her romantic life, but she previously revealed she had a secret long-term relationship with fellow Lionesses star Kelly Smith when she was a young player.
Kelly and Alex met when they both played for Arsenal in 2005.
In 2009, they moved to America where they both signed with the Boston Breakers before they moved back to the UK three years later to join the Women’s GB football team at the Olympics in London.
It is unknown how long they were together, but Kelly is now married and has two children with management consultant DeAnna Dobosz.
In 2019, Alex denied a relationship with her Strictly Come Dancing partner Neil Jones.
She was also linked to Corrie actor Sam Robertson in 2020.
The pair were seen enjoying a cosy evening together at a restaurant.
Alex later spilled the beans on their "disastrous date", saying the pair didn't get off to a "great start".

Since 2019, Alex has co-hosted Sky Sports’ Goals on Sunday alongside Chris Kamara.

Alex is set to take part in BBC One's Snow Going Back: Comic Relief Vs The Arctic which lands on the box on March 15, 2024.
Speaking about her appearance on the show, she said: “I’m naturally competitive with myself, I don’t want to let anyone down, but what will really keep me going is the end goal of raising as much money as we can for Comic Relief, which will go a long way in helping change a lot of lives in the UK and around the world.”
Since 2021 she is a regular host for Soccer Aid alongside Dermot O'Leary.
