A New Chapter: The Engagement Announcement
On Jan. 3, 2026, Cameron confirmed that she and Italian rock star David are engaged after more than two years together. In an Instagram post, Cameron shared a carousel of affectionate photos with David and prominently displayed her engagement ring, captioning the images: “My favourite part of being alive 💍 happy new year.” David, the frontman of the Grammy-nominated band Måneskin, reposted the same gallery on his own account, adding, “It’s gonna be a beautiful year.” Their matching posts underscore a shared joy and partnership as they step into this next chapter together.
How Their Love Story Began
The couple’s paths first crossed at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, where both were nominated for Best New Artist: Cameron for her work as an actress and musician, and David with his band’s rising international profile. The spark that ignited at the VMAs didn’t take long to grow. Rumors began circulating when Cameron was spotted at one of Måneskin’s performances in 2023, and by Feb. 2024, they were red carpet official when they attended a pre-Grammy gala.
Throughout 2024 and 2025, the couple kept attending various events together, including the Met Gala, showcasing their true creative power-couple energy. According to Entertainment Weekly, “Late last year, David and Cameron sparked engagement rumors when they were photographed together in Australia, with Cameron wearing a sparkler on her ring finger. That same October, the couple celebrated their two-year anniversary.” Fans eagerly awaited official confirmation, which they finally got this January.
Their Relationship in Their Own Words
Cameron has continuously spoken openly about the deep connection she feels with David. In an anniversary post on Instagram, Cameron called their time together “the 2 best years of my life,” adding that she is moved to tears by their shared experiences. David has echoed similar sentiments. When sharing their engagement news, his message hinted at optimism and forward momentum. Their public statements—and honestly, their body language in every photo—suggest a relationship that’s grounded in real affection and love.
Family and Fan Reactions
The engagement news was met with a wave of excitement and joy from both fans and Cameron’s family alike. Her mother, Bonnie Wallace, shared her excitement on social media, welcoming David into the family and praising the couple’s love. Comments from Cameron’s sister also reflected her family’s support. Fans have flooded social media platforms with congratulations and well-wishes, heart emojis galore, and shared theories about the couple’s upcoming wedding plans. Engagement posts have garnered millions of likes and reactions, further highlighting widespread enthusiasm for the news.
What This Means for Dove Cameron and Damiano David
For Cameron, this engagement comes after a personal journey that includes earlier relationships and a period of self-reflection. She was previously engaged in 2016 to her former “Liv and Maddie” co-star, Ryan McCartan, and has discussed her experiences with love and growth in past interviews. David, meanwhile, continues to juggle his role as Måneskin’s frontman with a rising solo career. Their shared creative lives—and the way they show up for each other’s work—have long been seen as a key part of what makes their relationship tick.
As they step into wedding planning and whatever comes next, fans around the world are eager to follow along. Their story so far has been full of artistic highs, emotional honesty, and a connection that seems to keep deepening. The future looks bright for both of them, together and individually.
