Alison Hammond's boyfriend David Putman loves the fact that she is famous
The 50-year-old presenter went public with her 27-year-old boyfriend - who is a Russian masseur and model - in April last year when she posted a series of pictures on Instagram.
Despite their age gap, Alison has shared that he is very supportive of her and her career on the small screen.
She told Heat magazine: "He loves it. He just supports me. Anybody who I bring into my life supports me and whatever I do. They're so happy for me.
"I don't like to go into detail about him, because it's my private life, and I want to respect his life as well. But you know I'm loved-up, everyone knows that!"

When asked about whether she would like to get married, the 'This Morning' star didn't rule it out.
She said: "I'd never say no. I might marry myself..."
The star is hosting the new BBC series 'Alison Hammond's Big Weekend', where she accompanies some of the most famous names in the UK for 48 hours, and enjoyed getting to see a "different side" to the likes of comedian Jimmy Carr, actor Luke Evans and former Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards.
When asked what it was like to spend a weekend with all these celebrities, Alison said: "You really get to see a different side to all of them. You get to see stuff that you would never see, like them arguing with their mum or bantering with their kids or partner.
"And you get to see what their passions are and what they love doing. Me and Jimmy Carr went for an ice bath together. And Luke Evans is really into horse riding.
"I learned how to horse ride - I've never ridden a horse in my life. I started off on a mechanical horse and it's the most comical scene you'll ever see. I should have put a sports bra on!"

Country music legends line up to pay tribute to 2 stars who just died
The country music community is feeling the loss of two legendary artists, as many big names in the genre are sharing their condolences. Jeannie Seely, 85, and Flaco Jiménez, 86, have recently died. Seely, dubbed 'Miss Country Soul,' died Friday, Aug. 1, at Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, Tennessee, as a result of complications from an intestinal infection. Seely had been battling health issues in 2025. She revealed in May that she was recovering from 'multiple' back surgeries and two emergency abdominal surgeries. The artist also spent nearly two weeks in the ICU and battled pneumonia on top of it. Jiménez, who was known for his contributions to conjunto and Tex-Mex music, died on Thursday, July 31. Since their deaths, the musicians are being remembered by staple names in the industry. Tanya Tucker shared her thoughts on Seely's death, posting an old photo of them to Instagram. 'My girl Jeannie got her wings yesterday, but not before I called her,' Tucker said. 'They put the phone up to her ear and as I talked, memories were flooding my mind with all the great times we shared. I'm sure at one point she thought I was the guest that never left. I spent a lot of time over at her house. It was a time of great hope and we were young, invincible and nothing was gonna stop us and the songs flowed freely with writers coming in and out of that house. She's part of my DNA, part of me left when she did, but I'll see you again, my friend someday. Make sure that guitar players in tune. I love you.' Dolly Parton also shared her thoughts to Instagram calling Seely one of her 'dearest friends.' 'I think she was one of the greater singers in Nashville and she had a wonderful sense of humor. We had many wonderful laughs together, cried over certain things together and she will be missed,' Parton continued with. Reba McEntire posted a photo of her, Parton and Seely to Instagram, with her thoughts. 'I've always loved this woman! She was a little spitfire, opinionated team player! Rest in peace, Jeannie,' McEntire wrote. Trisha Yearwood took to her social media with a photo with Seely. 'She was a talented, smart trailblazer for all women,' Yearwood said. 'She knew who she was and what she stood for. She was a friend to everyone who stepped onto the Opry stage. I can't explain how much I already miss her.' Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum shared his condolences for Jiménez as well. The CEO remembered Jiménez as a 'paragon' of Tejano conjunto music. 'Whether he was recording with Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, or the Rolling Stones, or working with his own supergroup, the Texas Tornados, Flaco drew millions of listeners into a rich musical world they might not have discovered on their own. 'Streets of Bakersfield' by Dwight and Buck wouldn't have been the same without his sparkling touches. Neither will a music community that cherished his towering talent and open heart,' he said. Singer Dwight Yoakam also remembered Jiménez in a Facebook post. 'In fond and loving memory of the great Flaco Jiménez! he said. 'It was an honor to know you and a profound privilege to have been able to work with you. Rest in sweet and lasting peace my friend.'

Taylor Swift says you should think of your energy like it's an expensive 'luxury item'
Taylor Swift might have worn an $11,400 necklace when announcing her new album, but she spoke more about another luxe commodity: her energy. The pop star explained how she maintains a "healthy relationship" with social media during an appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce 's podcast, saying that she ignores a lot of what's written and posted about her. "I have so many friends or acquaintances or people where like, they'll see one comment they don't like and it will ruin their day, it will ruin their night," Swift said. "I just want to say to them, you should think of your energy as if it's expensive, as if it's like a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it." Kelce's sense of humor about online content has helped Swift get to this point of relative nonchalance, she said. And some of her willful ignorance is by design — she said she's had her Instagram comments disabled for around 10 years and doesn't miss them. Swift is no stranger to online hate — last year, sexually explicit AI-generated images of her went viral on X and Telegram, with one image staying up for 17 hours and getting more than 45 million views. The posts reignited calls for laws to fight deepfakes, and Swift herself turned those and other false images into political fuel. In September, she announced she was endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris for president in part because of AI-generated images of her that President Donald Trump posted. As one of the world's most successful artists, Swift has to be intentional with how she expends the "luxury item" of her energy, which has itself been a topic of controversy. Though she spent a combined 484 hours singing onstage at the Eras tour and was in a state of self-described " perpetual discomfort," fans and critics alike knocked her for taking a break after the concerts ended. As strict RTO mandates are back in full swing and Elon Musk touts 120-hour work weeks, Swift's comments about protecting one's own energy may resonate beyond the social media realm. Gen Z workers are avoiding leadership roles to protect their work-life balance, while employees generally may be experiencing " quiet cracking" and struggling to find meaning in the many hours of "expensive" energy, to quote Swift, they spend at their jobs.
