Dove Cameron and Måneskin frontman Damiano David are engaged. The couple, who have been together for two years, sparked headlines after Cameron was photographed in Sydney, Australia, wearing a sizable diamond ring. TMZ reports the ring is indeed an engagement ring, marking a major milestone for the Disney alum and the Italian rock star.
The pair stepped out arm-in-arm during the Sydney outing, with Cameron sporting a sleek black coat over tailored trousers and a crisp white button-down. David kept it minimalist in a black polo and pants. The duo appeared relaxed and affectionate as they walked through the city, capping a month that already saw them celebrate their two-year anniversary on social media.
TMZ Confirms Engagement After Sydney Outing
Photos obtained by TMZ show Cameron smiling while debuting the diamond ring, which the outlet identified as an engagement ring. While neither Cameron nor David has issued an official statement, the sighting aligns with the couple’s recent anniversary posts and steady public comfort as a duo.
Earlier this month, Cameron shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, reflecting on their relationship’s second anniversary. “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,” she wrote alongside a carousel of couple photos. “I love you in a way no words could ever express, but I will never stop trying. Buon anniversario amore mio.”
David replied in the comments with equal sentiment, calling their time together “the best part of being alive,” punctuated with a red heart emoji. The exchange drew thousands of likes and congratulatory notes from fans, who have watched their romance evolve from a behind-the-scenes connection to a public partnership.
From VMAs Meet-Cute To A Slow-Burn First Date
Their origin story traces back to the 2022 MTV VMAs, where both were nominated for Best New Artist. Cameron ultimately won the category that night. In a June 2024 Cosmopolitan cover story, Cameron explained that while she met Måneskin at the event, she and David didn’t actually connect then. “When I met them, I don’t think I even spoke to Damiano. I didn’t think anything of it. I went about my night. I’d just won a VMA,” she recalled.
A few months later, Cameron was invited to Måneskin’s album release event, but scheduling conflicts kept the two from meeting. Their paths finally crossed again at the 2023 VMAs, where a proper introduction led to a first date Cameron described as a careful, conversation-heavy marathon. She called it “very, very slow, cautious, feeling-out, interview-type questions for eight hours.”
What followed was a deeper realization about David beyond his rock-star persona. “I remember I was fascinated because he presents in a way that seems very easily digestible and then you spend two minutes around him and you realize he is the kindest, most generous, most innocent, most giving person. He’s just a beautiful, sensitive soul,” Cameron said in the same interview.
A Relationship Fans Followed In Real Time
Public interest in the couple spiked in September 2023 after Cameron attended Måneskin’s sold-out Madison Square Garden show. She later traveled to Brazil in support of the band, further fueling romance speculation that soon turned into confirmation. Since then, the two have continued to appear at major events — including awards shows and tour stops — while keeping much of their private life low-key.
Cameron, best known to many for Disney’s Descendants franchise and for her music breakthrough with “Boyfriend,” has balanced acting and recording across the last few years. Her 2022 VMAs win for Best New Artist helped cement her as a pop force to watch. David, as the charismatic frontman of Eurovision winners Måneskin, has led the band’s global surge, with high-energy performances and a fashion-forward aesthetic becoming their signature.
Despite their high-profile careers, both have emphasized sincerity and groundedness in interviews and on social media. Cameron’s anniversary note and David’s concise reply point to a relationship built as much on quiet support as public appearances — a combination that has resonated with fans who’ve watched their connection grow.
While wedding details have not been shared, the engagement caps a two-year arc that began with a chance industry overlap and evolved into a steady partnership. For now, the couple appears content celebrating the moment together, as their careers continue to thrive on both sides of the Atlantic.
As always with celebrity engagements, more information — including a possible timeline, venue, and any creative collaborations that might accompany the milestone — will arrive on the couple’s terms. Until then, congratulations are in order for Cameron and David on the next chapter of their story.
