Denise Welch is always standing by her sons’ side, be it any controversy or their career milestones.

The 67-year-old actress, who has been working in showbiz since the 1980s, is immensely proud of Matty Healy, 36, and Louis Healy, 24, and the kids share the sentiment towards their mom, too.

While Denise has been famous for a long time, she recently became a global icon, and during an interview with i-D magazine, she shared The 1975 frontman’s reaction to his mom’s success.

The mom of two noted that Matty is “quite chuffed” about his mom’s fame, who recently released her own Christmas song, Slayy Bells.

“Even my cool son is going, ‘I’ve never done a shoot for i-D before!'” Denise told the outlet.

Speaking of her sons, she added, “If I’m watching Matty headline Glastonbury, or Louis do Stranger Things, everyone around me is going, ‘My God, you must be so proud.’ But I’m more proud of who they are. I’m proud of how they treat the people around them.”

This comes after Denise made headlines earlier this month for her comments on the About You hitmaker’s short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift.

The actress stated that being the pop superstar’s mother-in-law is a role she was glad to have skipped.

Alison Hammond has offered insight into her love life with boyfriend David Putman, as she opened up about their Christmas plans and why their age gap has never been an issue for them. 

The TV presenter, 50, met the Russian masseur and model, 28, after booking a massage with him in 2023. She announced their romance in April 2024, sharing a series of photos together on her Instagram page. 

The couple later made their red carpet debut two months later at a Candy Kittens bash, where they were joined by Alison’s son, Aidan, 20.

Addressing the 20 year age difference between herself and David, Alison said it has never been a problem, describing him as incredibly ‘mature and sensible,’ while admitting she ‘is not.’

‘Things are going really, really well,’ she gushed in an interview with The Mirror.

‘He just has the most beautiful energy and everyone feels it when they’re in his presence. It’s very rare. I am so grateful that he chooses to spend his life with me.

‘Admitting it feels ‘lovely’ being in love, she added: ‘It makes you more patient, it makes you kinder, because you’ve always got somebody you want to care for — and they’re caring for you.’

Despite the blossoming romance, the pair have said they do not feel the need to get married.

‘I don’t need a ring to show my love to somebody.’

Yet, she left a glimpse of clue revealing if he asked her to marry him tomorrow, ‘it wouldn’t be a no.’
