Alison Hammond delighted fans on This Morning as she shared a rare and intimate moment with her boyfriend, David Putman, during Friday’s episode of the ITV show.
The 50-year-old presenter recently returned from a romantic trip to New York with her 27-year-old partner,
and to mark Valentine’s Day, she gave viewers a sneak peek into their love story.
A Rare Glimpse into Alison’s Love Life
Alison, known for keeping her private life largely out of the spotlight, surprised audiences when This Morning aired a black-and-white photo of her sharing a kiss with David.
The affectionate moment, captured during their trip to the Big Apple, was met with excitement from her co-host,
Dermot O’Leary, who couldn’t help but comment on the cinematic quality of the image.
“You just got back from New York with your Valentine. Let’s take a look…” Dermot teased before unveiling the romantic snapshot.
The image showed Alison and David locked in a loving embrace, with a “Happy Valentine’s” sticker added over the top. Dermot jokingly compared the picture to a movie poster, saying, “Hang on a minute… is that a movie poster?! I swear I had a poster up like that in my bedroom!”
Laughing at his reaction, Alison responded playfully, “It looks good, doesn’t it? It’s all about the editing, babes!”
A Love That Defies Age Gaps
Alison and David, a Russian masseuse, have been dating since December 2023. Despite their 23-year age difference, the couple appears to be going strong, often shutting down speculation about their relationship.
In a candid interview with Good Housekeeping UK, Alison addressed the discussions surrounding their age gap, emphasizing that their connection goes far beyond numbers.
“I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference. But honestly, when we see the word ‘toyboy’ written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all.”
She went on to describe how David’s personality and maturity make their relationship feel natural.
“Yes, I’m 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you’d understand. People have said to me, ‘We get it now.’ He’s so mature and sensible, and I’m so not.”
Alison also shared how David’s kind words and thoughtful nature have cemented their bond.
“The things he says to me… they’re just so lovely. It’s like a jigsaw; we fit and it all comes together.”
Shutting Down Split Rumors
Just last month, Alison and David had to put an end to speculation that they had secretly broken up. After rumors began circulating, the couple was spotted looking happier than ever, sharing a passionate kiss while out shopping.
This public display of affection reassured fans that their romance was still going strong, and their recent New York adventure only reinforced that sentiment.
Alison’s Playful Take on Love
As always, Alison brought her signature humor to This Morning while discussing her relationship. After seeing the on-screen image of her and David kissing, Dermot jokingly pointed out that David’s glasses appeared to be getting in the way.
“Were his glasses a bit painful while you were having that kiss? It looks like he was quite squashed…” he asked.
Without missing a beat, Alison quipped, “Maybe. I don’t care. I just got in there and snogged his face off. Do you know what I mean?”
Her candid response had both Dermot and the audience in stitches, proving once again why she remains one of television’s most beloved personalities.
Back to Business on This Morning
Following her whirlwind trip to New York, Alison returned to This Morning in high spirits, bringing her usual warmth and energy to the show. While she may prefer to keep her love life private, this rare glimpse into her romance with David left fans feeling both charmed and excited for her happiness.
Alison’s relationship with David continues to capture public attention, but for her, the most important thing is how they feel when they’re together. As she put it, “It’s all about how we fit, and we fit perfectly.”
Fans can catch Alison on This Morning, airing weekdays from 10 AM on ITV and available to stream on ITVX.
