Alison Hammond has reportedly “never been happier” after sharing a slew of loved-up snaps with a new mystery man.
The telly fave, 49, who shares her 19-year-old son Aiden with ex Noureddine Boufaied, usually keeps her private life low-key. But recently, she took to her Instagram to upload photos of her with a handsome gent.
In one snap, Alison beamed to the camera while posing next to her male acquaintance. In another photo, the pair had each other’s arms around their shoulders. While a third black and white picture showed the rumoured couple in a quiet public garden near a bench.

A source told The Sun: ‘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 been open in the past about being single – revealing that she is comfortable on her own. She told Gyles Brandreth on his podcast Rosebud which was released last year. “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,” she added.
And according to Alison, she’s not really a fan of the idea of marriage. She explained: “I’ve never been married. I’ve dreamt of it.” She added at the time that she might “not want to get married” if it ever happened, and discussed having “cold feet” herself.
While earlier this year Alison confessed she felt like a “failure” after splitting from her husband. During an interview with Paloma Faith on This Morning, in which the singer opened up about regrets over her own relationship split.
Alison told her: “You’re not a failure, listen, I felt that failure when I split up with my son’s dad. His dad now moved on, he’s married, he’s got three other children, they’re part of our family as well. You don’t know how it’s going to work out, it’s part of your story.”
Alison has also expressed a poignant wish about her previous marriage. She confessed to Hello magazine: “My one wish would be that I’d had more children. I wish I’d had another three back then.
“I would totally think about adoption in the future. I’ve got so much more love to give I don’t think I’m done with one child, I’m just not.”
Daily Star has contacted Alison’s representatives for comment.
