Alex Scott and girlfriend Jess Glynne give a glimpse at their romantic tropical Christmas getaway just hours after going Instagram official together

Former footballer Alex Scott and her pop star girlfriend Jess Glynne spent Christmas abroad together on Sunday after flying to a tropical destination.

The couple, who were first linked in October this year, both took to their Instagram pages to post separate snaps of them enjoying some time in the sun.

Sports commentator Alex, 39, showed off her toned legs in a black cover-up that hung over her shoulder as she walked along the beach.

The former Arsenal player could be seen standing in the shallow waters splashing through the golden sand of the beach.

Singer Jess, 34, took to her page to post a photo of herself wearing a black bucket hat and sunglasses as she sunbathed.

Alex went Instagram official on Friday with his girlfriend Jess, sharing some snaps from the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards, which took place this week.

The two were dressed in their glamorous outfits and all smiles for a group photo.

This was the first time Alex posted a snap of Jess on her main grid, and it came just days after she uploaded the two together to her story.

The sports star was sitting with her glam squad getting ready for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards together when the singer took a selfie.

Alex and Jess finally confirmed their romance when they were seen passionately kissing together in London last month.

But the couple chose not to pose together on the red carpet at the star-studded sporting event, which took place at MediaCityUK in Salford last Tuesday.

The presenter showed off the bold look by opting for an all-red ensemble while her girlfriend stood 12 feet away on the other side of the carpet.

The couple appeared to deliberately avoid taking pictures together, as one particular snap showed the distance between the couple.

Dating rumors between her and Jess have been swirling in recent months after the pair were spotted attending many of the same events and spending time together amid reports of their secret romance.

During a recent outing in London, Jess was seen walking with her arm around Alex’s shoulders and the pair appeared to be in a cheerful mood as they smiled and laughed together.

They then stopped for a kiss and a sweet hug before going their separate ways near Great Portland Street station.

They had previously sparked romance rumors by attending many of the same events and spending time together weeks before.

In October, they both attended a Halloween party at Friends’ Haunted House hosted by Casamigos Tequila in London.

Although they decided to pose separately at the party, they took a taxi home with friends.

It comes after Alex made her Instagram official with girlfriend Jess on Friday, sharing snaps from this week's BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards.

A source said: “They walked around holding hands in full view of everyone. They were hanging out with a group of friends. They looked very happy to be there.”

They were also spotted sitting next to each other at the 2023 Attitude Awards at The Roundhouse in Camden, London.

Viewers noticed that the rumored couple arrived at the event in the same car, but they made a deliberate attempt to exit the car separately.

They were finally photographed together in a rare public appearance together at the Vogue Forces For Change party last month.

It was previously reported that Jess and Alex have been in a secret relationship with each other for several months.

A friend told about their relationship Sun: “Alex and Jess developed slowly and they didn’t want to rush things or make their relationship public too early.

“But now they are officially an object and seem very happy. They are both strong, independent women who share a passion and respect for their careers, supporting each other from the sidelines.

“It’s still early days for them, but they’ve met each other’s friends and everyone is really happy for them.”
