Alison Hammond Shares Birthday Joy with Boyfriend David Putman in Loving Display
This Morning presenter Alison Hammond celebrated her 51st birthday this week with a heartfelt tribute from her rarely-seen boyfriend, David Putman. The Russian masseur and model, aged 29, took to his Instagram Story to post a loving selfie of the couple, captioning it: 'Happy birthday to my love @alisonhammond.'
A Relationship Blossoming from a Professional Encounter
The couple first connected in 2023 when Alison booked a massage with David, sparking a romance that went public in April 2024. Since then, they have shared numerous snaps on social media, with this birthday post marking another milestone in their relationship.
In the shared image, Alison is seen beaming brightly as she snuggles into David, showcasing the affection that has defined their partnership. This public display follows their red carpet debut just two months after going public, at a Candy Kittens event where they were accompanied by Alison's son, Aidan, aged 20.
Addressing the Age Gap with Confidence and Maturity
Back in December, Alison candidly discussed her relationship with David, admitting to 'being in love' and explaining why their 22-year age difference is not an issue. In an interview with The Mirror, she described David as having 'the most beautiful energy' and emphasized his maturity.
'He is so mature and sensible, and I am so not,' Alison revealed, highlighting how their personalities complement each other. She added that the term 'toyboy' does not reflect their dynamic, as they 'fit like a jigsaw' with traits that balance perfectly.
Future Plans and Simple Celebrations
When asked about marriage, Alison stated that they currently have no wedding plans, feeling content without formalizing their commitment. 'I don't need a ring to show my love to somebody,' she explained, though she hinted that if David proposed tomorrow, 'it wouldn't be a no.'
The couple has been living together, which Alison confirmed makes them 'happy the way it is.' For Christmas, she expressed a desire for simplicity, planning a fancy restaurant meal with David and her son, a departure from her usual extravagant celebrations.
A Relationship Built on Mutual Care and Gratitude
Alison gushed about the positive impact of being in love, noting it makes her 'more patient' and 'kinder' because of the mutual care in their relationship. She expressed gratitude for David choosing to spend his life with her, describing the experience as 'lovely.'
This birthday celebration underscores the couple's ongoing journey, from their professional beginnings to a loving partnership that defies conventional expectations. As they continue to share moments publicly, fans and followers are given glimpses into a relationship marked by joy, maturity, and heartfelt connection.
