had admitted she is open to marriage as she gushed over her 'supportive' toyboy boyfriend David Putman.
The presenter, 50, went public with her boyfriend, 27 - 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 TV career.
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...'
Last month Alison and David squashed split rumours after they sparked speculation she secretly parted ways.
The couple looked more loved up than ever in pictures obtained by The Mirror.
Alison and David shared a steamy kiss while out shopping.
Alison also opened up in Good Housekeeping UK's January issue, admitting her and David 'fit like a jigsaw' as she revealed their traits balance each other out.
Speaking about their age gap, Alison said: '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.
'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.
She added: 'And the things he says to me...they're just so lovely. It's like a jigsaw; we fit and it all comes together.'
During the interview, Alison also spoke about her loving relationship with her son Aidan - who she recently gave an emotional apology to for 'not always being there '.
'If you could feel the way my son loves me, it's magical,' she said. 'He's grown into such a gentleman. He helps me so much, doing things around the house.
'He gives really good advice and because he's Gen Z, he has his finger on the pulse and tells me what's cool.
'He's the yin to my yang; he's like me, but a calmer version. I'm all, 'Woo-hoo' and he's more, "Mum, chill." He doesn't try to rein me in, though.'
She joked: 'He wouldn't try to change me because, well, why mess with perfection?'
Alison's comments about her boyfriend David are the first time she has spoken in depth about him, after mentioning him on This Morning in November.
A woman, named Anita, called to tell Alison how happy she had made her feel while they were on a train together earlier in the year.
Anita said: ' Alison Hammond you are a wonderful person who made a lady feel so special. My husband was the guard, I had been invited on because I'd just finished chemotherapy and radiotherapy.'
Alison added: 'I remember you, you came into my cabin area!'
The caller carried on: 'You never rushed me out, you asked me everything I'd gone through, how much weight I'd lost. Alison, I know you're from the Midlands, we're such special people.
'We've always got a smile and a kind word. I'm like yourself, I'm kind, but sometimes you do get hurt being kind. But you, Alison, I can't tell you what you did that day.'
At the end of the call Alison confessed that Anita had not mentioned that when she saw her, she was with her boyfriend.
Alison confessed: 'Anita, whats lovely about you, you've haven't mentioned who I was with. That was my very first date with my boyfriend. You met my boyfriend before anybody else knew about it!'
