Alison Hammond has found love with a mystery Russian masseuse but who is he?
The This Morning star has been secretive about her relationships since her romance with "hunky" gardener Ben Hawkins came to an end last year. The pair met when Alison hired Ben to see to her garden at her home in Birmingham, West Midlands in 2021. But since their split, she has kept her love life on the down low.
But now it's been reported that she has found love again and is the happiest that she's ever been. Many have been wondering who Alison's mystery man is but the Mirror are here to bring you all you need to know.
Reports suggest that Alison has moved on with a 6ft 10in Russian Masseuse, David Putman. The paid have been growing close in recent months and have also shared a series of cosy snaps with one another. David, who is said to be around 20 years younger than Alison also works as a model and dancer and frequently shares snaps of his career with his social media followers.
In recent days, Alsion has even been leaving comments on David's uploads, with her most recent being a heart-eye emoji as he filmed himself exploring London. David is believed to have studied as a body therapist where he gave "classic, lymphatic drainage, anti-cellulite, wraps, facial massage".
His massage services are still being advertised on a Russian website, according to reports. He is said to live in Brighton and appears proud of his Russian heritage. David is well-traveled as he spent time in Rome earlier this year following a trip to Paris. He is understood to be in his early to mid-20s and has a large tattoo across his torso. Alison's son Aiden is 19 years old, making him not much younger than David.
David's Libya-born dad, who is also called David Putman, married a Russian woman following the tragic death of his first wife. But it appears that David is very vocal about matters close to his heart, having attended a pro-Palestinian march in London. "Alison has never been happier. She has had a turbulent love life, but is finally confident she has found a trusted companion," a source told The Su n.
While their romance may have been under wraps, it appears that David has the seal of approval from Alison's friend and This Morning colleague, Josie Gibson who is one of his 1,323 followers. The model and masseuse is also a keen golfer, having been pictured on a golf course in Brighton. He's also not afraid of showing off his muscled physique, with several shirtless snaps and even snaps posing in his underwear uploaded to his Instagram account.
But last year, Alison hinted that she had found love again as she joked that she is always getting "jiggy jigs", during an appearance on the Loose Women Live tour. "Who's having the most jiggy jigs?" asked host Christine Lampard. Alison instantly quipped back: "How's Birmingham doing? I reckon we're up there, I really do. Well I am."
