TV star Alison Hammond has posted a rare photo of her toyboy boyfriend as she gushed over him for Valentine’s Day.
The TV presenter typically keeps her romances away from the public eye, yet decided to shake things up as she celebrated the day of love. She posted a rare photo of her partner David Putman as they cosied up to each other in the loved up snap. Alison, 50, had faced split rumours with David, 27, after they spent time apart over Christmas.
Yet, she has squashed any speculation of a breakup earlier this month as Alison made a big marriage confession. For the loved-up selfie, the couple wrapped up in coats and beanies and beamed at the camera as Alison said: “Valentines Day.” She also tagged her boyfriend in the photo and added love heart emojis around his name.
Earlier this month, Alison revealed she would marry David “tomorrow” if she could. Speaking earlier this month ahead of her 50th birthday, Alison quipped on the Smart TV podcast: “Oh do you know what? This is going to make headlines but, yeah, I would marry him tomorrow.”

The This Morning host embarked on her relationship with masseuse David in December 2023. They have come under some scrutiny over their 23-year age gap, yet Alison and David have been able to shrug it off. She recently insisted David is “mature and sensible” when she was questioned about her romance last year.
Over Christmas the pair sparked split rumours after they chose to spend some time apart. David shared snaps from a sunny beach as he jetted abroad for the festive season while Alison remained in the UK as she carried on her panto work. In December, Alison decided to open up on her romance with David as she said they fit together “like a jigsaw”.
She admitted she pays no attention to their age gap as they balance each other out perfectly. “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference,” she told Good Housekeeping magazine. “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.”
Alison is said to have first encountered David when she hired him for a £150 massage, leading to a blossoming romance from what began as a friendship. Her partner David, who stands at an impressive 6ft 10 inches tall, hails from Russia and is a model by profession. Due to anticipation of inevitable public scrutiny, Alison was initially hesitant about going public with their budding romance.
This Morning co-host Dermot O’Leary was the one who broke the news. In May 2023, Dermot turned to Alison and said that she was “no longer available.” Playing coy, Alison asked: “What do you mean I’m not available… you trying to say that I’m not available?” Dermot then noticed her tone and quickly said: “I don’t know, now I’m really confused!” However, Alison interjected and said: “Am I not unavailable? Is there someone in my life? Well, you’ve just told the whole world, thanks!”
