The 'Good Morning Britain' weather presenter and influencer Natalia Natkaniec secretly split last year but decided to continue living in the same house together for the sake of their son Cruz, 10, until they figured out their future.
Natalia and Cruz moved out two weeks before the Covid-19 lockdown came into effect in the UK and Alex admitted he can't believe he is single again at 39.
Speaking on the 'Britain Get Talking' podcast, he said: "As we kind of moved into the summer, myself and Natalia decided we were going to part ways, which, you know me. I'm not a quitter, and I hate quitting things.
"We tried to work through things, but at some point you realise the best thing to do for everybody is walk away, but walking away is never easy.'
"We were in the same house up until the beginning of this year, knowing that we were parting ways, it takes a while to figure things out. One thing I didn't want to do is rush things.
"By being in that house, knowing we weren't together, we started to get on better - it removed a lot of the stress and expectation that a relationship can bring.
"It's been a massive learning curve, I didn't think at the age of 20 that when I was approaching 40, I would be in this situation.
"The age of 40, you'll be married, you'll be a grown up, you'll have a kid or two, your life is going to be set. I'm not old, I don't feel old, it's a bit daunting.
"But we've been in lockdown, so even if I wanted to go on a date, I couldn't go on a date.
"I don't want to grow old on my own, life is for sharing and it'd be great to meet someone in the future but they have to be right for me, right for Cruz."
Alex also revealed that Natalia developed Covid-19 symptoms during the pandemic and she and Cruz had to self-isolate for two weeks, leaving Alex two weeks without seeing his son.
He explained: "When Natalia and Cruz moved out, it was two weeks before lockdown. Natalia developed symptoms, she had a cough.
"It turned out not to be COVID-19, they had to self isolate for 14 days - so I went from living in a house full of people to living on my own in lockdown.
"I watched Boris Johnson's lockdown message sitting on my sofa feeling really lonely. And I couldn't see Cruz for two weeks.
"I've realised how strong I am, but I am only strong because of the people I have behind me."
