England and Arsenal legend Alex Scott has quickly become a familiar face in football punditry and is now a regular feature on the BBC.
Born in London, Scott had a distinguished playing career with the Gunners, as well as spells at Birmingham City and in the United States. She earned an impressive 140 caps for England and was part of Team GB's London 2012 Olympic team before retiring and transitioning into media as a Women's Super League Hall of Famer in 2017.
Scott started her media journey by offering insights into international tournaments for the BBC and, after a stint with Sky Sports, was unveiled as the new presenter of Football Focus in 2021. Here, we delve into Scott's life off-screen, including her net worth, relationship with award-winning singer Jess Glynne, and luxurious London home.
What is Alex Scott's net worth?
Scott has reportedly accumulated a wealth of around £2million throughout her extensive playing career and successful tenure as a presenter, reports Wales Online.
Scott is among the top earners at the BBC, with her salary estimated to be between £220,000 and £225,000 from 2023 to 2024.
However, this is overshadowed by some of the BBC's other sports talent, including Gary Lineker, who leads the pack as the broadcaster's highest earner, pocketing an estimated £1.35m each year. Alan Shearer and Mark Chapman also earn more than Scott, who is believed to be the fourth highest-paid star on the roster.
Scott has had a notable rise in net worth thanks to multiple brand endorsements, a well-received memoir, and her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.
Who's the special person in Alex Scott's life?
In 2023, Alex Scott and her partner, the acclaimed pop artist Jess Glynne, made headlines by confirming their romantic relationship. Their bond blossomed after months of growing speculation, punctuated by several public outings.
Yet, Scott's journey hasn't been without its challenges. In a candid talk with The Times, she spoke about the ongoing impact her father Tony's behaviour, which she has said involved physical and mental abuse, had on her personal relationships - a claim he denies.

"We weren't allowed to express emotion," Scott recounted. "Dad didn't allow us to hug each other or say, 'I love you'. It had a huge impact on us all. To this day, if I want to show people love, I'll do it by taking them out to dinner and paying."
Scott also recalled an early encounter with Jess: "I remember one of the first times Jess hugged me. I was like... [rigid]. She was like, 'Are you not going to put your arms around me?' But I didn't know how to do that."

March 2021 marked the month when Scott became the proud owner of a chic £1.5m property in the heart of London. Her home boasts a sleek modern design brimming with greenery.
Scott's abode features a fully equipped gym, often showcased in her fitness videos online, along with a charming garden area complete with decking.
Scott is believed to share the residence with her partner Glynne, and the duo were last spotted looking stunning at the 2025 BRIT Awards, making a close-knit appearance.
