Alison Hammond, 50, shares rare picture of toyboy lover David, 27, as loved-up couple enjoy summer holidays together
Alison Hammond shared a rare picture of her boyfriend David Putman on Saturday as the couple enjoy the summer holidays together. The This Morning presenter, 50, took to Instagram to share the loved-up snap of her with David, 27. Boasting large smiles, Alison appeared smitten and happy-than-ever with her age gap lover as they set off on their holidays together. The pair could be seen hugging for the camera while the sun shone down on them as they coordinated their outfits. Alison wore a blue blouse while David opted for a blue shirt as they both donned black sunglasses and caps to protect them from the UV rays. She captioned the sweet post with love heart emojis: 'Happy holidays to you all. Remember always choose love.' Alison tends to keep her relationship private, with David sparingly featuring on her social media profiles. She first went public with the Russian masseur and model in April 2024 by posting a series of pictures online with him. Previously speaking about their relationship, Alison explained how David 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 star didn't rule it out, saying: 'I'd never say no. I might marry myself...' Meanwhile, directly addressing their age gap, she told Good Housekeeping in January: '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. Previously gushing over David, Alison said: 'He just supports me. Anybody who I bring into my life supports me and whatever I do. They're so happy for me' '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 just so lovely. It's like a jigsaw; we fit and it all comes together.' Alison's son Aidan, 20, has also given her relationship his seal of approval and has even given her advice. They both appeared on ITV gameshow Romesh Ranganathan's Parents' Evening last year when Alison admitted she 'overshares' with her son. The pair were asked certain questions and had to vote who was better at each topic, with one question being: 'Who's better at giving advice?' Aidan believed he was better at advice which shocked Alison at first before she then partly agreed saying: 'When it comes to relationship advice you're very good!' But she added: 'But when it comes to career advice I'm not sure!' They were then asked who was the biggest oversharer and both voted for Alison - with Alison admitting: 'Yeah maybe I overshare a little bit. I'll probably overshare in the show!'
