JERMAINE Pennant confided in his romance to Jess Impiazzi to the next level – and moved in together.
The Sun has revealed that the football legend, 39, and the actress, 34, have been secretly dating since November 2021.
Former Liverpool ace Jermaine has settled down with the Strike actress.
Jess told The Sun at the Inspiration Awards for Women where she won the campaigner award for her work for Guide Dogs UK, about their plans for the future.
She said: “Things are going very well. We’ve moved in together now, which is great.
“I can’t stop talking about babies because I’m 34 now and I would like to have a few. When will Jermaine put a ring on it? Oh, I don’t know, but we talked about it. So who knows.

Meanwhile, brave Jermaine has opened up about his mental health and revealed he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and PTSD linked to childhood trauma last year.
His ADHD meant the former CBB star once forgot he owned a home in Cheshire after moving from Liverpool to Spanish side Real Zaragoza – although he was still paying the interest-only mortgage.
The bankrupt star, who lost his career earnings of more than £10million, bought the six-bedroom house in Hale for £1.2million on the advice of a repairman.
When he moved to Spain he left it empty – but then it was occupied by a drug gang which caused a fire in the property.
Pennant – now a football pundit on talkSPORT – admitted: “I’ve bought houses but never spoken to an estate agent and had mortgages I didn’t know anything about.
“I took bad advice from bad people and lived hand to mouth.
“There was a fixer who fixed things for me – but now I realize he cheated me out of money.
“He advised me to buy the house in Hale for way beyond the odds and then do a load of building work there. But I didn’t pay the builders, I paid him.
“This kind of thing happened to me everywhere I went.
“I would also go out and spend money on tables in nightclubs without caring.
“We made two trips to Las Vegas; and on the first I picked up a $30,000 (£25,000) bar bill for my friends – I didn’t even know what was ordered.
“I invested in horses and properties and lost all the money.
“I dread to think what the total would be, but I guess it would be over £10m.”
