TV personality Alison Hammond has delighted fans by sharing a rare photo of her boyfriend, David Putman, to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
The This Morning presenter, who usually keeps her love life out of the public eye, made an exception for the special occasion, quashing any recent rumors of a breakup.
Alison, 50, and David, 27, looked cozy and happy in the affectionate snap.
Wrapped up warmly in coats and beanies, the couple beamed at the camera, with Alison adding heart emojis around David’s tagged name in the post.
The rare glimpse into their romance comes just weeks after speculation arose that the pair had called it quits after spending Christmas apart.
Alison’s Big Marriage Confession
Earlier this month, Alison opened up about her relationship, making a surprising admission about her future with David. Speaking on the Smart TV podcast ahead of her milestone 50th birthday, she confessed that she would marry him “tomorrow” if she could. “Oh, do you know what? This is going to make headlines, but, yeah, I would marry him tomorrow,” she quipped, hinting at just how serious their relationship has become.
The couple first got together in December 2023 after meeting under unexpected circumstances. Alison initially hired David for a massage, paying £150 for his services, and what started as a professional appointment soon turned into a blossoming romance.
Addressing Their 23-Year Age Gap
Since going public with their relationship, Alison and David have faced scrutiny over their significant age difference. However, Alison has been quick to shut down any negativity, insisting that their bond is strong and genuine.
She addressed the topic during an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine in December, explaining why their age gap doesn’t affect their relationship. “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference,” she admitted. “But honestly, when we see the word ‘toyboy’ written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all. Yes, I’m 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you’d understand.”
She further praised David’s personality, describing him as “mature and sensible” and insisting that they balance each other out perfectly. “We just fit together like a jigsaw,” she added, emphasizing that their connection is built on more than just age.
Christmas Break Sparks Split Rumors
Despite their strong bond, rumors of a breakup swirled when the couple spent the festive season apart. While Alison stayed in the UK to focus on her pantomime commitments, David jetted off to a sunny destination for the holidays, sharing beachside photos on social media. Their time apart led fans to speculate that their relationship had come to an end. However, Alison’s recent public display of affection has put those rumors to rest.
Keeping Their Romance Private
Alison has always been known for keeping her personal life out of the spotlight, but her romance with David was accidentally revealed by her This Morning co-host, Dermot O’Leary. Back in May 2023, Dermot let slip that Alison was “no longer available” during a live broadcast, prompting a playful back-and-forth between the pair.
Alison initially feigned confusion, jokingly asking: “What do you mean I’m not available… you trying to say that I’m not available?” Dermot, realizing his slip-up, quickly backtracked, saying, “I don’t know, now I’m really confused!” However, Alison leaned into the moment, teasing: “Am I not unavailable? Is there someone in my life? Well, you’ve just told the whole world, thanks!”
Though initially reluctant to go public, Alison has since embraced sharing small glimpses of her romance.
Who Is David Putman?
David, who stands at an impressive 6ft 10 inches tall, originally hails from Russia and works as a model. He has largely kept a low profile despite his relationship with the beloved TV star.
With Alison now feeling more comfortable discussing their romance, fans may see more insights into their love story in the future. For now, her Valentine’s Day tribute serves as a rare and heartwarming moment, proving that their relationship is going strong.
