Damiano David, former frontman of the acclaimed Italian rock band Måneskin, is no longer on the market. The 26-year-old rocker is currently dating the 29-year-old American actress and singer Dove Cameron, marking the couple's relationship as notable within both their celebrity circles.
On January 25, the spotlight will shine on the grand finale of the Star Academy, where viewers are eager to find out whether Ebony or Marine will take home the trophy. During the event, Marine is set to perform alongside David, who will be showcasing his latest single, 'Born with a Broken Heart.' This performance is one among many public appearances, spotlighting David's rising solo career following his successful tenure with Måneskin.
Prior to his relationship with Cameron, David spent six years with Italian model and influencer Giorgia Soleri until their breakup on June 8, 2023. Following this split, he began dating Cameron, with whom he shares both the bond of celebrity and artistry. The pair met at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards held in New Jersey, where they were initially competing for the same awards.
Reflecting on their initial meeting, Cameron shared, “I don’t even think I spoke to Damiano. I didn’t pay attention. I was going about my business. I had just won a VMA.” She recalled how their paths crossed again later, which allowed them the opportunity to engage more.
By the 2023 VMA ceremony, their chemistry blossomed. Cameron remembered, “It was super innocent. Then they invited me to their dressing room, and we started chatting. He invited me to the after-party.” She affectionately describes David as reminiscent of “a gentleman from the 1950s,” recounting their first date where he took her to dinner.
After their acknowledgment at the awards event, both stars appeared to maintain their flare for the extraordinary. Fans and followers began to take notice of their budding romance, intrigued by their compatibility and mutual admiration. Cameron’s rise to fame as both a singer and actress—most known for her roles on Disney Channel and hits like 'Boyfriend'—parallels David’s success with Måneskin and his recent shift to solo projects.
David's departure from the band, following their Eurovision 2021 triumph, where he and the group achieved global recognition with songs like 'I Wanna Be Your Slave' and 'Zitti e Buoni,' signified a strategic pivot in his career. His decision to go solo is not just about changing genres but also prioritizing his individual expression.
“I think there has always been within me a part wanting to experiment solo,” David expressed to Le Matin. “What I did with the group is a big part of me, but it was just one aspect of my identity. This project allows me to understand myself more.” He has acknowledged the challenges of exposing his vulnerabilities more intensely without the band dynamic, referring to it as akin to being 'naked' before the world.
Damiano's new phase includes plans for international tours, some of which have already sold out. His latest musical endeavors have evoked excitement among fans, many of whom support his artistic independence.
Both David and Cameron seem to thrive amid their successes, with each offering much to their respective fields. This relationship not only brings together two significant figures from distinct musical and acting backgrounds but also showcases the dynamic nature of celebrity culture and personal connections.
With their individual successes and buoyant romance, fans eagerly watch how this relationship will evolve. Will they become the next power couple of pop culture? Only time will tell.
