ALISON Hammond has declared her love for boyfriend David Putman – as she gushed that he has the most “beautiful energy”.
The This Morning star, 50, has been dating 28-year-old Russian masseuse David since 2023 – but she tends to keep her romance very private.
But in a new interview, Alison touched on her relationship with David and was full of compliments.
Speaking about her romance, Alison said: “Things are going really, really well.
“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.”

Alison said she’ll be spending Christmas with her boyfriend and son Aiden, 20, and they are opting for a quieter affair this year.
Instead of cooking all day at home, Alison said the three of them will be having Christmas at a restaurant.
The Great British Bake Off host admitted to the Mirror that it was “a lovely feeling to be in love”.
She shared: “It makes you more patient, it makes you kinder, because you’ve always got somebody you want to care for — and they’re caring for you.”
Alison said there was no wedding plans at the moment as they don’t “feel the need to” take that step just yet.
She explained that they’re happy living together and she doesn’t need a ring to prove their love for each other.
She added: ““What I will say is, if he asked me tomorrow to marry him, it wouldn’t be a ‘no’.”
In August, Alison spoke about David’s job as a masseuse.
Asked whether she got massages off her masseuse partner, Alison jokingly responded: “It was better when I used to pay for them.”
The TV favourite continued to tell the Guardian: “I don’t get jack s*** no more. He does everyone else but me!”
It comes as Alison spoke about her relationship at the start of the year, in another rare insight, and discussed marriage.
When asked if she would like to tie the knot with David, she teased: “I wouldn’t say no. I might marry myself…”
Alison also revealed how supportive her man is when it comes to her busy telly career.
Speaking to heat, she continued: “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!”
Alison previously addressed the age difference between her and David, insisting she doesn’t notice it.
She 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.’”
In the same interview with The Guardian, Alison discussed the trolling she gets over her successful TV career.
Alison said she is “good at saying no” and will turn down offers if she needs rest or it doesn’t appeal to her.
She added: “It looks like I’m on TV a lot, sure, but I stand out partly because it’s still not the norm to see a Black woman doing this.
“I don’t want to bring race into it but no one says that about Davina or Ant and Dec. I’ve worked hard for 22 years to get here.
“That woman on TikTok is allowed her opinion. It keeps me grounded.”
