Dove Cameron & Damiano David: From Rumors To A Rocking Romance

A Star-Studded Love Story Begins

Dove Cameron, the Disney darling known for her role in 'Descendants,' found her real-life Prince Charming in none other than Måneskin's charismatic frontman, Damiano David. Their romance first sparked rumors in September 2023 when Dove was spotted enjoying a Måneskin concert at the iconic Madison Square Garden. The buzz only got louder by November as the pair were seen locking lips on a sun-kissed beach in Sydney, leaving fans swooning.

Public Appearances and Confirmations

By February 2024, the lovebirds made things official on the red carpet, stealing the spotlight at the Pre-Grammy Gala. A swoon-worthy kiss in front of the cameras cemented their status as Hollywood's newest power couple, as they later graced the Grammys afterparty, leaving no doubt about their relationship. Dove's journey to love hasn't been without its bumps, with public breakups well documented in the past. Reflecting on her past, Dove told Entertainment Tonight in October 2021, "It's not that I felt differently about those people or anything like that, it's just a difference in maturity when you're dating somebody and you're 20. You want everyone to know about your love story."

“We had both been in situations where we were very harmed in the past and we are very sensitive people,” Dove explained about her connection with Damiano. "And I think when we met, we were not looking, and it was just sort of investigating... it was very, very slow, cautious, feeling-out."

The Proposal That Rocked Instagram

Fast-forward to January 2026, and the couple's fairytale took another thrilling turn. Dove shared the news that Damiano had popped the question, captioning her Instagram post with, "My favorite part of being alive 💍," as she celebrated the New Year. Yet, in true Dove fashion, the proposal was less about glitter and glam, and more about the grounded, everyday life they cherish. On 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' she revealed that Damiano proposed back in October 2025, right in the comfort of their shared home. "I know maybe you were expecting something big, but our life is so big and it’s full of so many, you know, public highs that there’s no romance in that for us anymore," she said, emphasizing her desire for a love rooted in the ordinary.

From chance meetings at the VMAs to romantic beach getaways and now engagement bliss, Dove Cameron and Damiano David's love story captures the dreamlike quality of an LA romance, set against the backdrop of both glitzy events and intimate moments.
