The former Love Island star, 25, who won the reality show in 2019, came out last year after tweeting: “Switching teams was the best decision I’ve made in my entire life.”
She has now spoken to MailOnline about her blossoming relationship with the 31-year-old Arsenal and Scotland player.
On whether she plans to settle down and start a family with Jen, she said: “I have no idea. I still feel super young.
“I’m just enjoying what I’m doing now, I’m having fun, I’m in a good relationship and that’s all I care about.”

Coming out: The former Love Island star, 25, who won the reality show in 2019, came out last year after tweeting: “Switching teams was the best decision I’ve made in my entire life.”
However, when asked if they would live together, she hinted that they might, saying: “No, not yet.”
Discussing her exercise regime, she added: “She has her own training with football and I have my own fitness regime,” but added that being with Jen has made her a football fan.
Elsewhere in the chat, Amber mentioned that she can have a positive influence on people who want to come out at an older age.
She insisted, “All I know is that there was a certain point where I thought I wanted to have serious relationships with women — I’m still figuring that out.”
The reality star has been inundated with thanks from fans thanking her for her inspiration, with Amber even considering making a documentary about her story.
Amber told MailOnline: “People say I put them at ease and make their emotions feel valid, so I love doing what I do and making a positive impact on people.
“Because of the messages I received, I thought about making a documentary.
“It’s important, and I like people who have paved the way and have been known from a young age and stood up for us, but I also think the people who haven’t are still valid and part of the ( LGBTQ+ community.
“I want to show them that at the age of 17, 20 or 25 you can still be part of the community.”
On removing the stigma of coming out at an older age, Amber added: “I bet a lot of people feel like now they can’t come out when they get to a certain age and you can whenever you want.
“You can decide for yourself what you want, when you want.”
Amber said it’s important to her that people realize that being on Love Island doesn’t define them or their sexuality.
She claims people are sometimes surprised to learn she now has a partner after appearing on the ITV2 dating series.
“That’s another important thing for me,” she explained. “I think people didn’t expect that from a show that I came from. It took a while for people to get involved.”
When asked if that’s how she felt about Love Island, she continued: “I don’t know, I’m still debating whether I’ve done it or not.
“All I know is that there was a certain point where I thought I wanted serious relationships with women.
“I’m still figuring it all out, so maybe I’ll do some kind of TV or documentary about it, because I think it’s important that someone also has a story about someone who is late.”

Meanwhile, Amber took the time to write a book about diversity, and the reality star hopes to see more on screen one day.
She said: “I think it’s getting there, but it’s taken a long time to get there. We are all moving in the right direction and that is very important to me.
“I wrote a book – a romance novel, and it was all about representation and diversity, because when I was younger, I didn’t have any protagonists in books that I looked up to or related to.
“I don’t think you realize how important it is when you’re younger, but it’s really important because I think back and when I was younger, I didn’t have a proxy.”
