Love, Laughter and Skincare: A Look Into Their Quietly Public Romance
Dove Cameron just gave fans a romantic front-row seat to her love life and she did it in the way celebrities now announce all things personal: through an intimate Instagram carousel.
The award-winning singer and Descendants star celebrated her two-year anniversary with Damiano David, frontman of Italian rock band Måneskin, with a heartfelt caption and a stack of candid photos and videos that feel more like moments stolen from a private camera roll than something meant for millions of followers.
The first few pictures show the couple in warm, low-lit dinner snaps, hugging, laughing and, in one playful shot, Damiano leaning in to gently bite her ear while Cameron breaks into a smile. It’s less “celebrity soft launch” and more “your artsy friends in love,” and fans are eating it up.
A short clip in the carousel shows them mid-skincare routine, Damiano gently lathering her face while she grins at the camera. It’s the kind of everyday intimacy most celebs shy away from posting, and perhaps that’s why it landed so deeply with fans.
“The best 2 years of my life. I am brought to tears at least once a week because life has become so beautiful with you in it,” she wrote. “I love you in a way no words could ever express, but I will never stop trying. Buon anniversario, amore mio.”
David, always the minimalist in comment sections, replied simply:
“The best part of being alive.”

From Speculation to Skincare Soft Launch
Their relationship didn’t start with fireworks or PR strategy. Fans first connected the dots in 2023 when Cameron was spotted at one of Damiano’s shows. Rumours simmered for months, but it wasn’t until the Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala in February 2024 that they officially stepped into public light, literally arm-in-arm on the carpet, sealed with a kiss for photographers.
Since then, the pair have shown up at events, fashion shows and awards ceremonies without hiding or overselling it, a refreshing contrast to performative celebrity pairings often pushed for headlines.
Cameron later dropped her music video for Whatever You Like, featuring personal moments with David woven between stylised shots — part art, part lover’s scrapbook.
A Slow Burn Love Story
In an interview with Cosmopolitan earlier this year, Cameron revealed that their connection wasn’t an instant rom-com spark.
“When we started hanging out, we weren’t trying to date. It didn’t even feel like a date,” she said. “It was very slow, cautious… eight hours of interview-style talking before we were like, ‘Okay, are we holding hands now?’”
That awkward, gentle beginning clearly paid off.
Fans React: “This Is Real People Love”
Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive — a rarity for celebrity couples online.
Some of the top fan sentiments include:
-
“They give indie movie couple energy and I’m here for it.”
-
“Damiano lathering her face during skincare? That’s intimacy.”
-
“The caption made me cry and I don’t even know them.”
Even Måneskin fans, notoriously protective of Damiano, have mostly rallied behind the post, with many joking that Cameron is “the only person allowed to distract him from rockstar behaviour.”
What Makes This Couple Different?
There’s something quietly disarming about the way they show up together — no branding tie-ins, no over-the-top PDA, no hints at couple merch or joint projects. Just mutual adoration, missed calls due to touring schedules and shared bathroom counters.
Cameron’s anniversary post didn’t read like a press release — it read like a love letter posted in public because hiding it felt sillier than sharing it. And Damiano’s six-word reply? Peak rockstar-poet energy.
Whether you follow them religiously or not, one thing’s clear: celebrity love stories don’t always need exclusivity deals or magazine spreads. Sometimes, a bite on the ear and some skincare foam says enough.
