Wedding bells could soon be ringing for Alison Hammond as insiders claim the beloved TV star is quietly planning to marry her younger boyfriend, David Putnam.
Just days after declaring she was “absolutely in love,” the This Morning favourite is said to be ready to take the next big step — despite previously insisting she “didn’t need a ring.” In fact, Alison recently admitted that if David proposed tomorrow, “it wouldn’t be a no.”
Now, sources suggest that moment may not be far away.
“Alison and David are planning on getting married,” an insider revealed. “It’s not going to be immediate because she’s never been so busy, but she’s very much in love and it will happen. She’s found her perfect man.”
The couple’s romance began in 2023 in an unexpected way — Alison met the towering 6ft 10in masseur when she booked him for a treatment. Sparks flew instantly, and the pair have been inseparable ever since.
Gushing about her partner, Alison said he has “the most beautiful energy” and added that she feels incredibly lucky he has chosen to share his life with her.
While their 22-year age gap has sparked plenty of public fascination, Alison remains unfazed, saying she simply wants people to be happy for them because “we are absolutely in love.”
Despite her celebrity status, insiders say the wedding won’t be an over-the-top affair. Instead, Alison is expected to opt for a more intimate celebration with a handful of close friends — though familiar faces like Dermot O’Leary and Josie Gibson are likely to be on the guest list.
“Alison is very real,” the source explained. “She won’t want anything too big. It’ll be special, but not extravagant. David doesn’t like the limelight, and she respects that.”
One of the most emotional moments of the day is already being planned — Alison’s son, Aidan Hammond, is set to walk her down the aisle.
“They’re incredibly close,” the insider said. “He’s so happy for her. He can see she’s in the best place she’s ever been.”
Alison herself previously admitted her son’s approval meant everything, joking that she was relieved he liked David because “normally Aidan hates anybody I date!”
As she prepares for this new chapter, Alison is also focusing on her health and wellbeing. After an incredible weight loss journey from her heaviest, she’s embraced a new lifestyle including personal training, Pilates, and boxing — even cutting back on her beloved toffees.
“Alison has never looked better,” the source added. “She’s glowing, confident, and happier than ever.”
Although she hasn’t started dress shopping yet due to her packed schedule, insiders say she’s excited to begin when the time is right — especially as she hopes to lose a little more weight before the big day.
It’s a far cry from her previous fears around marriage. Back in 2023, Alison admitted the idea made her nervous, saying it gave her “cold feet” and made her feel “tied down.”
But now, everything has changed.
With love, family, and a thriving career — including ongoing work on This Morning and other major TV projects — Alison Hammond appears to have finally found her happy ending.
