On Friday, Alison and David settled in as they enjoyed a romantic getaway at Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent.
Meanwhile, David looked dapper in a beige trench coat, paired with khaki chinos and brown shoes.
Alison is said to have a new life after finding love with David.
The This Morning presenter is reportedly dating the handsome 6ft 10in model, and now the surprising way the pair met has been revealed – their relationship blossomed from the moment Alison booked David for a £150 massage.
According to The Sun, Alison was a client of the professional masseuse and it was during a session that the pair first hit it off, with the presenter visiting David between her busy filming schedule.
Their friendship reportedly turned romantic late last year, despite the 23-year age difference between the couple.
Originally from Krasnodar, Russia, David left the country for the United Kingdom in December 2022 to escape the frontline following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
A friend of David’s told the publication: ‘When the war started in Ukraine, David’s mother Olga began to worry. She didn’t want her children to be involved in this. She wanted them safe like any mother would.
David therefore moved to the UK, where he now lives with his uncle Nigel Putman, 71, in Slough, but spends a lot of time in London for work.

They explained: ‘David is a very calm, simple and thoughtful person who likes to play the guitar. He’s the strong, silent type, not a pushover, but not talkative like Alison either.
The friend explained that David was able to avoid being drafted into the Russian army because his father, also called David, is originally from Slough, so the young masseuse already had British citizenship.
David’s father is reportedly a retired welder and sheet metal worker who moved to Russia in the late 1990s after marrying Russian architect Olga Kovalenko after divorcing his first wife.
David also has two brothers, twins Apollo and Sviatoslov, who are three years older than him and were born in England.
MailOnline has contacted Alison’s representatives for comment.
Alison recently shared snaps of her and David together on social media, including one in which they snuggled up in each other’s arms during a walk in the countryside.
David is believed to be around 23 years younger than Alison, 49, and she is said to be “happier than ever” with her new partner after a “turbulent love life”.
