In a romantic start to the new year, Hollywood star Dove Cameron and Italian rock sensation Damiano David have officially confirmed their engagement. The couple, who have been dating for two years, made the joyous announcement on social media, putting an end to months of speculation.
Social Media Announcement Seals the Deal
On Saturday night, January 3, Dove Cameron took to her official Instagram handle to share the big news with her fans. She posted a series of intimate photographs with her fiancé, Damiano David. The images captured the couple in a passionate embrace, lovingly holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes. In one tender moment, David is seen kissing Cameron's forehead as she proudly displays her stunning new diamond engagement ring.
Cameron captioned the heartfelt post, "My favourite part of being alive… Happy new year." David, the lead singer of the globally acclaimed band Måneskin, echoed similar sentiments in a past social media exchange, having previously described Cameron as the "best part of being alive."
From Rumours to Reality: The Engagement Timeline
Rumours about the couple's impending engagement first began circulating in December, when eagle-eyed fans spotted a large diamond ring on Cameron's left hand. The sighting occurred while the pair were walking together in Sydney, Australia. The official confirmation comes just after the couple celebrated their two-year anniversary in October 2024.
Marking that milestone on Instagram, Cameron had written an emotional note: “The 2 best years of my life. I am brought to tears at least once a week because life has become so beautiful with you in it. I love you in a way no words could ever express, but i will never stop trying. buon anniversario amore mio.”
A Love Story That Began at the VMAs
The romance between the American actress-singer and the Italian rock star has a star-studded origin. They first crossed paths at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, where both were nominated for Best New Artist—Cameron as a solo artist and David with Måneskin. Interestingly, Cameron won the award that night.
While there was an initial professional connection, with Cameron being invited to open for Måneskin on tour (an offer she declined due to scheduling conflicts), their love story truly ignited at the 2023 VMAs. They spent significant time together backstage, and David made a lasting impression. After months of dating discreetly, they made their first public appearance as a couple in February 2024 at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala in Beverly Hills. Their red carpet debut was followed by a joint appearance at the prestigious Met Gala just three months later.
In various interviews, Cameron has been effusive in her praise for David's character, describing him as “the kindest, most generous, most innocent, most giving person… a beautiful, sensitive soul.” With the engagement now official, fans worldwide are celebrating this union of two prominent entertainment worlds.
