British Pop Star Jess Glynne Expresses Her Joy Over Love Life with Alex Scott

Internationally celebrated British pop star, Jess Glynne, recently expressed her romantic bliss in an interview with PinkNews following her performance at the amfAR Gala, sharing the lineup with pop music legend, Cher.

Prior to this revelation, the “Hold My Hand” chart-topper officially confirmed her relationship with former England Lioness, Alex Scott, at the Brit Awards earlier this year. The couple made their relationship public on the red carpet and were later captured in a heartfelt kiss at an afterparty.

Notably, this is not the first public appearance of the now-official couple. They were first seen together at Wimbledon during the summer and were caught cozying up again in November. Since then, fans and media alike have been speculating about their relationship status.

The Grammy Award-winning singer further discussed her new album, ‘Jess’, her first after a six-year hiatus. She defined it as an album ‘full of honesty, emotion and growth’, referring to her journey of overcoming heartbreak and finding love.

The musician explained, “This is Jess now. The process of making this album made me realize why I love music, listening to artists [who] have really inspired me to be the best version of myself in my craft, and to challenge myself to be as raw and honest as I can be.”

Jess Glynne on Love and Relationships

Glynne has never publicly addressed her sexuality. However, she acknowledged having relationships with women in the past. She stated she is an open person and strongly believes that love doesn’t discriminate based on gender.

In an interview with The Telegraph earlier this year, she reinforced her view, stating, “Over the years, I’ve never hidden who I am. I’m a very open person. I believe that love is love. I’ve never hidden the fact that I’ve been in relationships with men and women. That’s a massive side of my life.”

Prior to Jess Glynne, Alex Scott was in a romantic relationship with her former Arsenal and Boston Breakers teammate Kelly Smith.

Following the release of ‘Jess’, Glynne not only bagged a performance at the esteemed amfAR Gala in Antibes, France but also shared stage time with LGBTQ+ ally and megastar Cher. Glynne made her relationship with Scott even more public on stage, openly holding hands with her.

About the amfAR Foundation

The amfAR Foundation is a global charitable organisation dedicated to the cause of ending AIDS worldwide.

On performing onstage with Cher, Glynne did not hold back her excitement. She shared, “I have to be honest, it’s a surreal moment, she’s such a mogul and someone I’ve always looked up to and taken inspiration from.

“She’s on so many of my mood boards, I even dressed up as her when I headlined Bestival a while back. It was a real pinch-me moment to be alongside such an icon and I’m still screaming inside.”

The album ‘Jess’ is now available for purchase and streaming across music platforms.
