A rockstar and a Disney star – one chance meeting that changed their lives forever.
Some love stories begin quietly. Others arrive like a sudden certainty you cannot ignore. This one started with a glance, a misunderstanding, and a feeling that came far earlier than expected.
Long before they were engaged, Hollywood superstars Damiano David and Dove Cameron were just two artists attending the same award show. Both were nominated in the same category at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. The night ended with Dove taking home the trophy. Backstage, Damiano congratulated her. Polite. Brief. To her, he seemed distant. Almost uninterested. She walked away thinking he probably did not like her very much. As it turns out, the opposite was true.
When Music Worlds Collide
Damiano David is the unmistakable frontman and singer of Måneskin, the Italian rock band that conquered international charts with raw energy and unapologetic style. On stage, he is fearless, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. Dove Cameron, on the other hand, made her name as both a singer and an actress. Many first discovered her through a Disney series called "Liv and Maddie", before she evolved into a respected pop artist with emotional depth and vulnerability.
When they truly got to know each other later on, Dove realized something that caught her completely off guard. She knew very early that this might be it.
“I realized it so quickly, and it honestly scared me,” she admitted with a laugh in an interview. “I thought, ‘Oh God, I’m in trouble if he doesn’t feel the same way.’”
Damiano And Dove’s True Love
That mix of excitement and fear feels deeply human. Your heart rushing ahead. Your mind trying to slow things down. But sometimes, you simply know.
What drew her to Damiano went far beyond his stage presence. She describes him as the most honest, aware, caring, respectful, loyal, and beautiful person she has ever met. Someone she never imagined could exist. The emotion in her voice when she speaks about him says everything. How sweet is that?
Their relationship unfolded without spectacle. No calculated image or pressure. Just two people choosing each other. Even the proposal reflected that simplicity.
There was no big show. No crowd. Just their shared home. Dove was wearing one of his oversized shirts when Damiano knelt in front of her. He told her he wanted her exactly like this. Every day, with real life: With dishes, routines, and comfort. How incredibly genuine. Today, the two are engaged and openly speak about spending their lives together. Both call each other soulmates.
