The former footballer and her singer girlfriend made their public debut as a couple in March at the BRIT Awards by posing on the carpet together.
Alex explained how they wanted to protect themselves for as long as possible, she said: 'It took us a while because we knew what we have is so special, so it has been about trying to protect that and keep that for us in such a way that it continues to be beautiful.'
She recalled a sweet early memory when they met for the first time and Alex admitted she didn't know how to act which caused Jess to jokily say 'Are you not going to put your arms around me?'.
Alex shared the awkward encounter is still something they laugh about now.
