A champion’s gesture of love

Damiano David, best known as the frontman of the Italian rock band Måneskin—winners of the 2021 Sanremo Music Festival and later the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest with “Zitti e buoni”—and his bride-to-be Dove Cameron, an American actress and singer, have officially announced their engagement.
The two first met at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, but their spark seems to have truly ignited in the autumn of 2023.
Their love story began in February 2024, when they made their first red carpet appearance together at the pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles.
Finally, on January 3, 2026, the proposal landed on social media—making them the first celebrity couple to announce an engagement in the new year.
Even so, it appears the proposal may have happened earlier, since the two were spotted in Sydney wearing rings on their fingers.

How did the proposal happen?

On January 29, Dove Cameron was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote the new series “56 Days,” set to be released in February, in which she stars.
On that occasion, she shared how the marriage proposal happened.
To begin with, unlike what many people believe, she already knew a proposal was coming, because Damiano kept her updated on the progress of the rings.
What she never expected, however, was the way it would happen.
On an ordinary day last October, the couple was packing: clothes were scattered everywhere, and Dove was wearing an oversized T-shirt, no makeup, with her hair still slightly damp from the shower, running around the house.
In the hallway, Damiano looked at her with a loving expression.
And there it was—the moment: a proposal at home, right in the middle of their everyday life.
It might sound rushed or random, but Damiano had thought of everything: he wanted to carve out a moment of normality and intimacy from the frenzy of their life in the spotlight.

Their rings

The engagement announcement came through a carousel post on Instagram.
In the post, not only does the happiness of the newly engaged couple shine through, but we can also catch a glimpse of the details of their rings.

Damiano turned to one of the most renowned jewelers among celebrities: Alessandro Bernini.
Behind this choice there isn’t just a name, but a vision: a new symbol of love and partnership.
So what is the real innovation? What is the concept this engagement ring communicates?
In the past, men’s and women’s rings tended to share similar lines or a subtle visual reference.
Today, choosing a diamond shape in a similar—if not identical—size represents the bond within the couple.
The choice of an Asscher cut—an octagonal step cut, very similar to an emerald cut but square in shape—is truly one of a kind.
It reflects brilliance that isn’t overpowering like a round brilliant, but rather the refined elegance typical of an emerald cut.
Could this be the couple’s choice—leaning into elegance?
For Bon Gioielli, the Asscher cut is one of the finest cuts you can choose.

The secret of a cut that captivates celebrities

Inside both highly personalized rings, there are two engravings: in Dove’s ring, “my favourite part of being alive,” and in Damiano’s ring, “the best part of being alive.”
Although Damiano is publicly known for his provocation, his excesses, and breaking the rules, this time he shows the opposite: quiet and measured—just like his proposal.
Is this perhaps a new version of Damiano?
And could it be that Dove has guided him toward a more intimate, softer side?
