David Putman and Alison Hammond pictured together in 2024 Alison Hammond has made a rare comment about her relationship with boyfriend David Putman. The This Morning presenter has been dating the Russian model and massage therapist since 2023, opening up about their romance during an interview with The Mirror. “I’ve got a lovely man in my life,” she enthused. “It’s just easy. I think that’s when you know you’ve got something special. “He just sees me for who I am. We choose each other, every day.” Much has been made in the media of the 22-year age gap between the two of them, but Alison is adamant that this has “nothing to do with anyone else”. She noted: “People are going to talk. People do. But that’s their business, not mine.” While she’s clearly loved up, the Bake Off host played down the suggestion that she and David could tie the knot in the future, insisting: “We don’t need to! We’re both cool.” In 2024, Alison spoke about the age difference between herself and her boyfriend as part of an interview with Good Housekeeping. “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,’ she insisted. Alison added: “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. And the things he says to me… they’re just so lovely. It’s like a jigsaw; we fit, and it all comes together.” Before getting together with her current boyfriend, Alison was in a relationship with gardener Ben Hawkins for around two years. The former Big Brother housemate also has a 21-year-old son, whose father is her ex-fiancé, Noureddine Boufaied.
