Dove Cameron Gushes About Boyfriend, Damiano David: "He’s The Best Person I’ve Met In My Life"

Former Disney Channel star Dove Cameron is madly in love with Måneskin's singer Damiano David.

Cameron and David became the center of romance rumors in September 2023 before debuting their relationship on the red carpet earlier this year. When asked how she met the Italian singer, she revealed that she met his band once at the 2022 VMAs.

A couple of months after their first meeting, Måneskin's team reached out to Cameron on their album release. "'Oh, that’s so sweet that they thought about me. We only met once,'" she remembered thinking. Cameron continued, "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. They’d asked me to open for them on their tour, and I couldn’t make it happen. There were just these passing-ships-in-the-night things happening. So when we met again at the 2023 VMAs, we had a reason to talk to each other."

When Damiano came up to her that night, she said it had felt like 10 years since they first met, even though it had only been a year. The band invited Cameron back to their greenroom, and they went to the after-party, where Damiano asked her out. To her surprise, Damiano was upfront with her, even telling her his intentions – we love a straightforward man! "It was super honorable. He’s like a 1950s gentleman, angel, teddy bear. He’s the best person I’ve met in my life," Cameron recalled.

Elsewhere in her interview with Cosmo, Cameron said Damiano captivated her, saying, "I remember I was fascinated because he presents in a way that seems very easily digestible and then you spend two minutes around him and you realize he is the kindest, most generous, most innocent, most giving person. He’s just a beautiful, sensitive soul."

The "Boyfriend" singer also offered some wise words regarding red flags in relationships: "If it feels wrong, it’s wrong. And when it feels safe and you feel calm…and your partner is your friend first…then it’s right, for the most part."

Even Cameron noticed that Damiano and the men around his life exhibited qualities fit for a husband. "I’ve been spending time with him and all of his friends and his brother, and they are incredibly sensitive, incredibly romantic, incredibly emotional, very caretaking, equal parts masculine, feminine, equal parts nurturing and protecting," she explained.

The duo still have to deal with their romance being under the spotlight, but it seems they're refusing to hide anything and live life as normal as possible. "There’s no handbook for how to handle this. We were pretty casual at that point. So it was, do we trust that this is going to go right? We didn’t know. So we went about it in the most sane way we could think of, which is just live our lives, but live them mostly quietly."
