Alison Hammond has broken her silence on her relationship with boyfriend David Putman, and the 22-year age gap between them, insisting marriage is not on the cards despite their strong bond.
The 51-year-old This Morning host has been dating the 28-year-old Russian model and massage therapist since 2023. She recently confirmed things are going “really, really well” between them, but shut down any talk of a traditional wedding.
“We do not need to! We are both cool,” she said. “I have got a lovely man in my life. He just sees me for who I am. We choose each other, every day.”
On the age gap that has drawn plenty of public chatter, Hammond made it clear she is uninterested in outside opinions. She credited David’s maturity for making the relationship work and said their bond is simply theirs to define.
“It has nothing to do with anyone else. Yeah, people are going to talk. People do. But that is their business, not mine,” she said.
Hammond and Putman first crossed paths in 2023 when she booked a massage session with him professionally, a meeting that eventually turned romantic. The pair tend to keep their relationship low-key, rarely appearing together publicly, though Hammond does occasionally give fans a glimpse of their life on social media.
Speaking with Good Housekeeping, she addressed the age difference head-on. “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference,” she said. “Yes, I am 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you would understand. People have said to me, ‘We get it now.'”
Hammond’s personal update comes just days after she made headlines for a different reason, interviewing Prince Harry during a live broadcast in Birmingham last Friday. The segment kicked off with the pair taking part in a chaotic laser run challenge, and wrapped up with Hammond celebrating the Duke of Sussex’s win with a hug and an excited jump.
