After months of speculation, subtle hints, and a very sparkly diamond doing most of the talking, Dove Cameron has officially confirmed her engagement to Damiano David — and the internet is collectively swooning.
On New Year’s Day, the 29-year-old singer and actress shared the long-awaited confirmation on Instagram with a simple yet deeply romantic caption:
“My favourite part of being alive 💍 happy new year,” Dove wrote, alongside a series of intimate photos showcasing her engagement ring while posing with the Måneskin frontman.
The post marked the first time Dove publicly acknowledged the engagement, nearly three months after reports first surfaced that she and Damiano, 26, had taken the next step in their relationship. In the photos, Dove’s ring — a striking diamond that fans have been clocking since October — takes center stage, paired with the couple’s effortlessly cool, deeply affectionate energy.
Engagement rumors first ignited in late October 2025, when Dove was spotted wearing the diamond ring during an outing with Damiano in Australia. At the time, neither confirmed nor denied the speculation, opting instead for their signature approach: quietly living their lives while letting the moment speak for itself. Now, with her New Year’s post, Dove has made it official — on her own terms.
The engagement comes just after the couple celebrated their two-year anniversary in early October, a milestone that further solidified their status as one of music and Hollywood’s most compelling cross-industry romances. Since going public with their relationship in 2023, Dove and Damiano have balanced high-profile careers with a refreshingly grounded connection, often sharing glimpses of their bond without oversharing.
While neither has shared details about wedding plans just yet, the confirmation alone feels like a joyful exhale. There’s no press release, no elaborate announcement — just love, intention, and a quiet confidence that this moment belongs to them.
Congrats to the couple.
