Alex, 41, built a successful career as an England international footballer, playing for clubs such as Arsenal, Birmingham City, and teams in the United States. She earned 140 caps and was part of Team GB during the 2012 London Olympics. After retiring from playing, she transitioned to sports presenting, notably on the BBC's Match of the Day.
Aside from her public achievements, Alex’s personal life includes a notable date with Coronation Street actor Sam Robertson in 2020. The pair enjoyed a candlelit dinner in a Soho restaurant in London, but the evening did not go as smoothly as hoped.

She further revealed to The Sun's Fabulous magazine that the morning after their date, photos of them appeared across the press, taken by someone at the restaurant.
