Dove Cameron and Damiano David have officially announced their engagement. On January 3, Cameron, 29, shared the joyful news on Instagram, showcasing her stunning diamond ring and expressing her happiness with the words, “My favorite part of being alive 💍. Happy New Year.”
Damiano David, 26, proposed to Cameron with a beautiful square diamond ring adorned with a halo of smaller stones. The couple’s romantic journey began in September 2023 when they were first linked together, culminating in their red carpet debut at a pre-Grammys gala held in February 2024. At that event, Cameron dazzled in a strapless red gown while sharing affectionate moments with David.
Their relationship developed gradually, with Cameron reflecting on their initial encounters during an interview with Cosmopolitan published in June 2024. She recalled meeting at the 2022 VMAs, where both were nominated for the same award. Although they didn’t connect at the album release due to scheduling conflicts, Cameron reminisced about their cautious and tender approach to romance when they met again at the 2023 VMAs. This thoughtful exploration of their feelings led them to form a strong bond.
Cameron revealed the authenticity of their relationship when David described it as the “healthiest” he has ever experienced. In a March SiriusXM interview, he shared, “I’m in one of the happiest moments of my personal life,” highlighting the importance of balancing personal joy alongside career aspirations.
Before her relationship with David, Cameron was engaged to Ryan McCartan, but their engagement ended in 2016. She also had a significant four-year relationship with her Descendants co-star Thomas Doherty, which ended in 2020. Throughout her journey, Cameron openly discussed her sexuality, coming out as bisexual in 2020, and emphasized the importance of authenticity in the industry.
Damiano David also has a past relationship of six years with model Giorgia Soleri, which ended in 2023. Now, both Cameron and David look forward to a new chapter in their lives, and their engagement signals a hopeful and bright future together. This exciting development in their love story resonates with fans who have followed their romance closely since its inception.
