Her romance with Darren began after Alexandra split from footballer Angus McDonald in October 2020, after a 15-month relationship.
An insider confirmed to MailOnline at the time that Alexandra and Angus had “parted amicably” and “remain good friends” despite going their separate ways.
The X Factor winner began dating the athlete following the breakdown of her engagement to Josh Ginnelli, with whom she split just weeks earlier.
Alexandra was previously in a relationship with ex-fiancé Josh for three years before splitting in June 2019.
The former Strictly star confirmed she and Josh were engaged in 2018 when she shared a photo of her diamond ring on Instagram along with the words: “I said yes!”
Darren previously dated The Saturdays star Rochelle Humes before marrying singer Marvin Humes in 2012.

A source previously told The Sun that Alexandra was initially reluctant to date another footballer after Angus and was deliberately taking things “incredibly slow” with Darren.
The source continued: “Darren is the sweetest, most down-to-earth guy – and incredibly charming.”
“Things are going very well. They are very happy to see each other whenever they can, and she is now helping him renovate his mansion.
Sweet couple! Alexandra became ‘Instagram Official’ with West Ham goalkeeper Darren in June 2021.
“It makes his bachelor pad feel more homey and adds a much-needed feminine touch.”
Alexandra rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2008 and went on to score three UK number one singles.
Having also found success in musical theatre, she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and came second.
