This Morning host Alison Hammond has appeared in snaps with a mystery man. It’s been reported that she’s “never been happier” amid rumours of a possible new relationship.
The 49 year old For The Love of Dogs presenter has previously attracted attention over her past romances. It’s now been claimed that she’s feeling “confident” with a potential new partner, whose name has yet to be disclosed.
Photos, believed to have been shared by Alison recently on Instagram, show the former Big Brother housemate posing alongside an unidentified individual. The pair are seen smiling beside each other in a selfie.
Another photo shows them posing for the camera in a garden. Alison is seen wearing a black top, patterned trousers and a padded coat, along with a pair of white sandals and a baseball cap.
The other individual is seen in a black top, grey trousers, a brown jacket, a red scarf, a brown hat and a pair of black shoes, reports the Mirror.
They are also seen posing for a photo together whilst both sat on a bench. The pair are pictured on opposite sides of the bench.
Meanwhile one sweet snap showed them sat together in a restaurant. The photos seem to have been shared alongside what appeared to be music from the film Interstellar (2014).
Photos of the duo have been published by The Sun, and a source told the outlet: “Alison has never been happier. She has had a turbulent love-life, but is finally confident she has found a trusted companion. They looked just like honeymooners.”
Alison has occasionally discussed her personal life, including her comfort with solitude. On an episode of Gyles Brandreth’s podcast Rosebud released last year, she revealed: “I absolutely love my own company. I have no problem being on my own, in fact, I really quite like it. I think that’s the reason why I struggle in some relationships because I don’t want somebody around me all the time. I actually love being on my own. I’m okay with it. I’ve never felt lonely,”.
Despite reports to the contrary, The Great British Bake Off host clarified on the podcast that she was never married to her ex-partner Noureddine Boufaied. Alison and Noureddine are parents to their 19 year old son Aidan.
She confessed to Gyles on the podcast last year: “I’ve never been married. I’ve dreamt of it.”
However, she added that she might “not want to get married” if the opportunity presented itself in the future, and admitted to having “cold feet” herself.
Alison shared her reservations about marriage, saying: “I think as soon as I hear the word marriage I get like cold feet. I think I’m just one of those people. […] I just feel like I’m tied down and I don’t like it, when really and truly, I’m getting to that age now where I just think ‘Alison, let go – it’s okay to settle down’.”
She admitted: “I always just get a bit nervous to like be … know that is it.”
