A friend told me The sun: “Alex and Jess were slow and didn’t want to rush things or go public too quickly.

‘But they are now officially an item and seem very happy. They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect for their respective careers, supporting each other from the sidelines.

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

MailOnline has contacted Jess and Alex’s representatives for comment.

Alex and Jess sat next to each other during day two of Wimbledon in July and were photographed enjoying a drink in the pub in August.

Alex has not yet publicly confirmed whether she is currently dating anyone.

In March, the footballer said she was ‘struggling’ to find a partner and even took advice from Jamie Redknapp in the hope of finding her perfect match.

She explained that she was “open” to getting to know both men and women and “never closes herself off” when it comes to dating.

After ‘struggling’ with a number of dating apps, Alex said her friend and former footballer Jamie told her about the app Raya, which is widely used by celebrities.

Speaking about her dating life, she told Grazia magazine: ‘It’s really difficult (finding someone) because people have a lot of prejudices. I’m having trouble with apps.

“For me, it’s all about connection, that instant connection with someone and a conversation, and I think, ‘Oh wow.’

“I remember Jamie Redknapp saying to me, ‘There’s a dating app Raya…’ So I was on it but I was too scared to get in touch with anyone.”

Alex also admitted that she would ‘love’ to have children as she spoke about turning 40 in two years.

The TV presenter admitted that she had not been ready to have children in the past, but that she would have children of her own if she felt it was the right time.

The former Lioness previously opened up about her romance with teammate Kelly Smith in her memoir.

Alex said her fellow athlete was her “first love” as she spoke about the “heartbreak” that followed when they split.

Meanwhile, Jess previously spoke about ‘not putting a label’ on her sexuality in a 2015 interview with The Daily Star.

Saying, “I’ve only been with one girl in my life and that’s the girl from my album (2015’s I Cry When I Laugh).”

Adding: ‘I’m never going to put a label on my sexuality and people should never feel uncomfortable about who they love.’
