Dove Cameron revealed the story of her proposal by now-fiancé Damiano David on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, months after the couple secretly got engaged.
Dove began dating the Måneskin singer in 2023, and the couple frequently attends events together. The pair were rumored to be engaged for months, but the couple only confirmed the speculation in January 2026. Now, Dove is talking about the very unexpected popping of the question.
Dove Cameron opened up about her engagement
“It was a day I would never have projected. We were packing,” Dove told Jimmy. “I’m the worst version of myself when I’m packing,” she added. Unlike many proposals, it wasn’t a glamorous affair. “I’m in a big t-shirt, no makeup, hair still kind of wet from the shower, and I’m running around like a creature in our house,”
“I’m in the hallway and he does that thing, that boyfriend face of, ‘Oh, I love this little silly creature that is in my life.’”
It was then that Dove realized what was about to happen. “I was like ‘no, no, no, no, no!'” she continued. “I ran into the other room panicking, like do I do my nails? What do I do? I gotta be ready.”
It was the casualness of the setting that appealed to Damiano, however. he said, ‘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,’” Dove recalled Damiano explaining.
It was time for the big moment. “‘I wanted to do this here in our home because I want dishes, I want laundry, I want making food together.'” It was then that the Italian singer officially popped the question. “‘I want you in your big t-shirt, and this is the life that I choose, and I hope you choose the same. Will you marry me?’”
Speaking on her reaction to her engagement, Dove said, “I cried so much. From the moment I saw him standing, I was sobbing. It was waterworks.”
