Dove Cameron Opens Up About Damiano David's Surprise Proposal
In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Dove Cameron shared intimate details of her engagement to Italian musician Damiano David, revealing she "cried so much" during the emotional moment. The 30-year-old actor and singer described the proposal as a deeply personal experience that caught her off guard, despite her involvement in designing her engagement ring.
The Unexpected Home Proposal
Cameron explained that while she knew David intended to propose, she was unaware of the timing. The proposal occurred at home in October while she was packing for a trip to Australia, wearing "a big T-shirt" with no makeup. She humorously described herself as "the worst version of myself" and "running around like a creature in our house." David watched her preparations before asking her to come into the living room, where he delivered a heartfelt speech that left her sobbing.
Damiano David's Romantic Philosophy
Quoting David directly, Cameron recounted his words: "I know that some girls want rose petals. I know that you were maybe expecting something big, but our life is so big and it’s full of so many public highs that there’s no romance in that for us anymore." He emphasized wanting the proposal to reflect their shared life, mentioning "dishes," "laundry," and "making food together" as part of their future. Cameron admitted she panicked, saying, "I forgot how to function for a minute, my brain broke in half," but was deeply moved by his sincerity.
Public Announcement and Relationship Timeline
The couple was later photographed wearing rings on their first day in Australia, sparking media speculation. Cameron noted they had not planned to announce the engagement immediately but decided to confirm it after increased coverage. She and David have been in a relationship since 2023, and this proposal highlights their commitment to finding romance in everyday moments rather than grand gestures.
