Dove Cameron Engaged to Damiano David

Dove Cameron and Damiano David are officially engaged, marking a joyful milestone in their two-year romance. The Disney Channel alum confirmed the news with a heartfelt Jan. 3 Instagram post, sharing a glimpse of her engagement ring and writing, “My favourite part of being alive. Happy new year,” as she and the Måneskin frontman looked lovingly at one another.
Rumors first began swirling back in October, when Dove was spotted wearing a sparkling ring while walking with Damiano in Sydney, Australia. The engagement arrives soon after the couple celebrated their second anniversary. Reflecting on their journey in October, Dove said the past two years have been the best of her life, adding that Damiano has brought beauty and meaning she struggles to put into words.
Their love story began at the 2022 MTV VMAs, where both artists were nominated for Best New Artist. Although they barely spoke at first — and Dove even turned down chances to join the band on tour due to scheduling conflicts — fate brought them together again at the 2023 VMAs. This time, Damiano invited her to visit Måneskin as they prepared for their world tour, and the connection finally clicked.
Dove later shared that the pair spent hours talking backstage before realizing they were officially holding hands. She described Damiano as gentle, kind, and deeply genuine — qualities that drew her in beyond his rock-star persona.
Since then, the couple have made several public appearances, including the Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala and the Met Gala, though both say they prefer quiet nights in. For now, they’re savoring life at home, pajamas on by 6 p.m., watching Lost and staying grounded despite the excitement surrounding their engagement.
With love, patience, and timing working in their favor, Dove and Damiano’s journey proves that sometimes the right connection simply needs time to bloom.
