Life after football often brings new chapters, but some stories follow former players long after they retire.
When a familiar face steps into reality TV, the public’s curiosity grows louder, especially around relationships and personal history.
This time, the focus has turned to one of England’s most recognisable former players, whose private life has drawn attention once again.
At first, Alex Scott’s appearance on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ sparked the usual questions.
Viewers wanted to know more about her career, her achievements and the journey that led her to the Australian jungle. However, the conversation quickly shifted toward her past romances.
Fans have always been interested in her personal story, and the latest revelations brought old feelings back into the spotlight.
Meanwhile, her current relationship has already drawn warm interest. She has been with singer Jess Glynne for around two years.
Before entering the show, she admitted that spending time apart would “be a test”.
She described how much she values the quieter moments with her partner, especially when life outside the home moves at high speed.
Still, the story that continues to fascinate supporters goes back much further.
Alex Scott revealed that she spent around eight years in a secret relationship with former Arsenal and England star Kelly Smith.
The pair played alongside each other between 2005 and 2009 during Scott’s second spell at Arsenal.
In the book, she described them as being “madly and deeply in love”, calling it her first major romance.
According to Scott, keeping that love private felt necessary at the time. She later told the Mirror that she wanted her memoir to be honest and complete.
Scott’s story continues to evolve through broadcasting, reality TV and personal growth.
