Dove Cameron and Måneskin’s Damiano David have turned romance rumors into a celebrated relationship, culminating in engagement — a journey marked by slow-burn chemistry, public milestones, and emotional honesty.
Dove Cameron has found a “Boyfriend” (now fiancé) in Måneskin’s Damiano David.
The Disney alum and the rock singer first stirred up romance rumors in September 2023 before confirming their relationship with a makeout session at the Pre-Grammy Gala red carpet in February 2024.
Prior to Damiano, Cameron has been in two long-term public relationships, including one with her Descendants costar Thomas Doherty. She dated the Gossip Girl actor for four years until they called it quits in 2020.
Four years earlier, Cameron broke up with former Liv and Maddie costar Ryan McCartan. The former flames were together for three years and announced their engagement in April 2016 before calling it quits in October of that same year.
“Dove has decided this relationship isn’t what she wants,” McCartan tweeted in October 2016. “We still love each other very much. Please be sensitive, as this is painful.”

Following her two public breakups, Cameron admitted that she’s reevaluated what to share with the public regarding her love life.
“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,” she told Entertainment Tonight in October 2021. “Now I look back and I’m like, ‘Why would I have done that?’ But it just feels natural when you’re that age.”
David, for his part, split from Giorgia Soleri in June 2023.
Scroll through for a complete timeline of David and Cameron’s relationship:
September 2023
Rumors of the singers’ romance began after Cameron was seen at a Måneskin concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
November 2023
Cameron was seen at a Måneskin concert in Brazil in early November. Fast-forward a few weeks, and the pair were spotted kissing at a beach in Sydney, Australia.
February 2024
Cameron and David sealed their relationship with a kiss at a pre-Grammys gala on February 3, making their red carpet debut as a couple. They were spotted posing together at a Grammys afterparty one day later.
June 2024
Cameron and David attended The Cameron Boyce Foundation’s annual Cam For a Cause Gala at The Beehive in Los Angeles on June 2. Boyce was Cameron’s Descendants costar and close friend until his death (caused by an epileptic seizure) in 2019 at age 20.
That same month, Cameron offered more details into how she and David first met — and the reality of what appeared to be a “hot and heavy” start to their romance.
“The first time was at the 2022 VMAs and his band and I were both up for the same award,” she recalled during an interview with Cosmopolitan. “And then a couple months later, their team had reached out to me about coming to their album release and I couldn’t make it work with the dates, but I was like, ‘Oh, that’s so sweet that they thought about me. We only met once.’ At one point, the band and I had been thinking about doing a collaboration. They had recorded something, so I went in, and I recorded over that track.”
At the 2023 VMAs, she and David were in “a very different space” and the relationship started to blossom.
“We had both been in situations where we were very harmed in the past and we are very sensitive people,” she explained. “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.”
January 2025
Cameron confirmed that David popped the question.
“My favorite part of being alive 💍,” she gushed via Instagram. “Happy New Year.”
For fans who’ve followed Cameron’s journey, this engagement isn’t just a milestone — it’s a testament to her growth, emotional maturity, and the power of slow, authentic connection. After years of public relationships that felt performative, Cameron has chosen to share her love story with intention, not obligation. David, for his part, brings a grounded, emotionally intelligent energy that complements her. Their story is less about fame and more about finding safety, healing, and joy in each other — a narrative that resonates deeply in a world where celebrity relationships often feel rushed or manufactured.
