It’s believed Alex and Darren have been dating since at least May 2021, as the singer appeared to confirm their romance by sharing a cute selfie of them together. They were heading for dinner at Japanese restaurant Roka, which Darren dubbed: ‘London date night.’
Confirming their relationship, a source told The Sun at the time: ‘It’s early days and Alexandra has deliberately taken things incredibly slowly.

‘They’ve had a series of dates but not been able to meet up as much as they would have wanted due to her hectic work schedule and the Covid restrictions.
‘Alexandra was extremely reluctant to date another footballer but Darren is the sweetest, most down-to-earth guy — and incredibly charming. He wore her down.’
The couple went public with their romance at the Dune premiere in London last October, walking the red carpet together and looking loved-up.
