When did Darren Randolph start dating Alexandra Burke?
Not much is known about Darren's first encounter with the X Factor winner.
The couple first sparked dating rumours in October, 2020, following Alexandra's split with Rotherham United football player Angus MacDonald, after 15 months.
Neither of them confirmed or denied the rumours when they first emerged.
However, in June, 2021, the Bray native put them to rest with a selfie shared on his Instagram.
Darren appeared all cosied up to Alexandra, in the back of a London cab. "London date night", the caption read.
Speaking to The Sun, prior to the post, a close source said that "things are going really well" between Alexandra and Darren.
"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."
The same source added that Alexandra was initially reluctant to date another football player.
"But Darren is the sweetest, most down-to-earth guy - and incredibly charming."
She was even said to have made his bachelor pad more homely.
