ALISON Hammond has declared she is “absolutely in love” with her boyfriend David Putman, despite their 22 year age gap, in a rare relationship admission.
The This Morning star has been dating Russian model David since 2023, but keeps their relationship fairly private.
Alison’s romance was a surprise to many due to David’s age, with her beau thought to be turning 29 next month.
However, Alison – who is a mum to 20-year-old son Aiden – has said their love transcends any age barriers in a new admission.
Addressing the difference, the TV star explained: “I completely understand why people are interested when there’s a 22-year gap, but what I find interesting is that it’s not as interesting when it’s the man who is older.”
Talking to the Daily Mail, she continued: “Why is that? I just want people to be happy for us.
“We are absolutely in love.’
Alison’s comments comes after she revealed things were going “really, really well” for the couple back in December.
Ahead of spending Christmas together, along with her son Aiden, Alison gushed over her other half.
“Things are going really, really well,” she told the Mirror.
She continued: “He just has the most beautiful energy and everyone feels it when they’re in his presence. It’s very rare.
“I am so grateful that he chooses to spend his life with me.”
Alongside working as a model, David is a massage therapist and first met Alison when she booked in for a massage back in 2023.
Hitting it off, the pair have been going strong ever since.
While they don’t often make public appearances together, Alison has shared a handful of snaps with David to Instagram over their relationship.
Previously addressing their age gap, she assured that David’s maturity makes things work so well.
Alison told Good Housekeeping: “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference.
“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.’”
