US singer who fell for Scottish fan during Tartan Army’s Boston World Cup takeover ends romance over ‘serious crime’ investigation

American singer Jill Roberts has ended her long-distance relationship with Scottish football fan Tommy Morrison after learning he is facing possible serious criminal charges. The pair met and went viral in June when the Tartan Army descended on Boston during the World Cup, quickly striking up a romance that saw Roberts booking flights to visit Scotland at the end of August, before news of the investigation prompted her to call things off.

Scotland's Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service confirmed that Morrison, 38, appeared on Petition on 31 January under Solemn Procedure, a process reserved for serious offences, though the specific charges were not disclosed and the case remains at the investigation stage. Roberts, 42, explained her decision in a TikTok video, saying she still believed Morrison had "great qualities and charisma" but that he had "unresolved connections with the past" to address, adding that she felt she owed her followers some explanation given how public the relationship had become.
