Reflecting on her experience, Scott stated, “I never seem to have a lot of luck on dates.” Despite the awkward aftermath, she described Robertson as “lovely,” illustrating her appreciation for the actor despite their outing’s end.
A Secret Relationship and Personal Growth
Before her date with Robertson, Scott was in a significant eight-year relationship with fellow Arsenal player Kelly Smith. This relationship, kept away from the public eye, has played a vital role in shaping Scott’s views on love and happiness.
In 2022, during the promotion of her book, “How (Not) To Be Strong,” Scott discussed her reflections on love and heartbreak. She emphasized the importance of sharing her personal story with readers, highlighting the deep emotions associated with her early romantic experiences.
Current Relationship with Jess Glynne
Currently, Scott is happily in a relationship with singer Jess Glynne. Although their romance has faced its own set of challenges, Scott has remained open about her emotional growth. She noted that her upbringing influenced her ability to express affection. Scott explained that growing up in a household where emotions were not often expressed has impacted her adult relationships.
