Jess Glynne thinks love is a scary subject

The 34-year-old singer - who is dating former soccer star Alex Scott - has always made a concerted effort to keep her love life out of the spotlight.

During an appearance on the 'Happy Place' podcast, Jess explained: "The work that I’ve done on myself has actually settled me inside and it’s allowed me to enter a relationship where I feel very comfortable and I’m just me. I’m unapologetically me.

"It has allowed me to be really happy in a new relationship. I think love is a really scary subject and it's normally something I keep quite distant.

"But it’s a nice thing to be able to embrace someone and a relationship that feels really genuinely good."

Despite this, Jess has still struggled dating another celebrity.

The 'I'll Be There' hitmaker - who made her romance Instagram official over Christmas - shared: "It’s something that I’m getting used to. I do love to somehow keep my personal life to myself. It’s so important.

"Even though we’re both in this public space, what we have, that’s ours. I feel like that’s something I will always do.

"People want so much from you and what is so beautiful is that we both feel like that way and it's something we will stick to and keep to ourselves."

Last year, a source close to the celebrity duo described their romance as a "slow burn".

The insider told The Sun newspaper: "Alex and Jess have been a slow burn and they didn't want to rush things or go public too soon.

"But they're officially an item now and seem really happy. They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect of their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.

"It's still early days for them, but they've met one another's mates and everyone is super happy for them."
