Alison Hammond, 49, and toyboy boyfriend David Putman, 26 (L) made their red carpet debut alongside her son Aidan, 19 (R) Jamie Laing’s sweet brand Candy Kittens in London on Thursday – after giving his famous mum’s new relationship the seal of approval
It emerged last month, the This Morning presenter was dating the Russian masseur despite their 23-year age gap
While Aidan, who Alison shares with ex husband Noureddine Boufaied, opted for a striking floral shirt and chinos.
It comes as Alison spoke out about their relationship for the first time and confirmed it even had Aidan’s seal of approval.
Speaking about the relationship on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe’s podcast Parenting Hell, the comedians grilled the TV star as they asked: ‘Are you single Alison?’
Acting coy, Alison said: ‘No… I’m not single.. I’m dating. I’m dating.’
Alison was also asked about the complexities of dating now her son is almost an adult.
Explaining the struggles, Alison confessed: ‘It’s more difficult, he is more verbal now that he is older. He’ll want to know who this person is and he’ll want to meet them.
‘It’s a lot harder. He’ll wanna know that this guy is treating me well.
‘The person who I am seeing at the moment, he is on his Instagram and is like “yeah I like him, he’s not too in your face”. Aidan is on it.’

Alison is said to be ‘happier than ever’ with her new partner following a ‘turbulent love life’.
Discussing the first time David and her son met, she revealed: ‘When they actually met, he really liked him, he really thought he was lovely, so that’s nice.
‘Thank goodness for that! Because normally Aidan hates anybody I date, literally just not interested.
‘And you just know at that point, if Aidan doesn’t like them, this isn’t gonna work. There are moments where I think, “who’s the parent here?!”
‘It’s nice though because I always feel like there’s someone there looking over me, protecting me.’
Meanwhile David is said refusing to listen to his mother’s desperate pleas for him to end his relationship.
The TV presenter has been dating the Russian masseur since she booked him for a £150 massage and the pair hit it off.
But he’s said to be ignoring mother Olga’s advice to pull the plug on his relationship due to the age gap and the fame she has bought to her son.

DJ and former Strictly star Melvin Odoom was also on the guest list
She is said to have been calling her son every day with pleas to break-up with Alison, but David is firmly turning his back on her advice.
A source told The Sun last month: ‘David is happy with his relationship so anything his mum says isn’t going to affect him.
‘She’s uncomfortable that her son is with someone who has so much more financial power than him. Olga’s traditional values don’t sit well with their relationship.
‘She’s told him in no uncertain terms that he must end it. Olga raised her children in the Orthodox Church. This kind of relationship doesn’t fit her beliefs.
‘She calls her son almost every day and tells him how unhappy she is.’
MailOnline have contacted Alison’s representatives for a comment.

Originally from Krasnodar in Russia, David left the country for the UK in December 2022 to escape the front line following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
David therefore moved to the UK, where he now lives with his uncle Nigel Putman, 71, in Slough, but he spends a lot of time in London for work.
The friend explained David was able to avoid being drafted into the Russian army as his father, also called David, is originally from Slough himself, therefore the young masseur already had British citizenship.
David’s father is reportedly a retired welder and panel beater who moved to Russia in the late 1990s after marrying Russian architect Olga Kovalenko following a divorce from his first wife.
David also two brother, twins Apollo and Sviatoslov, who are three years older than him and were born in England.
