ALEX Scott shot to fame as an England and Arsenal footballer.
After switching her career to presenting, she has now become one of the most recognised faces on British TV.
Is Alex Scott married and does she have children?
As of November 2022 Alex Scott single but has opened up about how she is “ready” to find love following a series of “unhealthy relationships”.
Alex said: “I’ve been single for a while now, and I think that’s because I needed to be.
“There were patterns in my relationships that I knew were not healthy.”
The star admitted that she’s now ready to make herself more vulnerable and open up again.
She explained: “I understand myself more now.
“Before I always had these walls up because I was trying to protect myself and protect people around me.
“Now I’m ready to let them all down. I’m ready to be loved,” she told The Times.
Alex does not have any children.
Who has Alex Scott dated?
Alex normally keeps pretty tight-lipped about her romantic life, but has revealed she had a secret long-term relationship with fellow Lionesses star Kelly Smith when she was a young player.
Kelly, who is six years Alex’s senior, 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.
Alex has also been linked to Corrie actor Sam Robertson a couple of years ago.
The pair were seen enjoying a cosy evening together at a restaurant.
Alex and Sam apparently had a “brilliant time” after being spotted enjoying a “cosy candlelit meal” together in Soho restaurant, Dead Street Townhouse.
However, on The One Show in February 2022, during a conversation about a dating show, Alex admitted: “I know I’m single – don’t!”
Alex also denied a relationship with her Strictly Come Dancing partner Neil Jones in 2019.
Neil, who split from wife Katya, said: “There’s nothing on our minds but the show – we don’t have time to think about anything else.”
Alex has previously never spoken about her sexuality and those close to her said she was open to dating both men and women.
A source said: “Alex dates both men and women and doesn’t label herself as anything.”
