Dove Cameron Just Married Maneskin's Damiano David in a Secret Tuscany Wedding
The Disney Channel alum and the Maneskin frontman tied the knot in Montalcino, Italy, in front of more than 200 guests, three years after they first met at the VMAs.
Dove Cameron is officially married. The actress and singer wed Maneskin frontman Damiano David in Montalcino, a hilltop town in Tuscany, Italy, with wedding festivities kicking off this week at a private estate. The couple arrived to their own celebration in a vintage car, and security was tight enough that most of the specific details stayed under wraps until after the fact.
Inside the Wedding
More than 200 guests, a mix of family and close friends, attended the private celebration, according to people close to the event. Neither Cameron nor David has posted official wedding photos themselves yet, though details have trickled out through outlets that had guests or staff on the ground. Given how carefully the couple has guarded their relationship from the start, the low key rollout tracks with how they've always handled their public image together.
How Dove Cameron and Damiano David Got Here
The two first crossed paths at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, but nothing came of it right away. They reconnected in 2023, went public with the relationship later that year, and made their first red carpet appearance as a couple in 2024. The engagement followed in 2025, with Cameron later revealing she was makeup free and wearing an oversized t-shirt in Australia when David proposed, not exactly the glamorous moment fans might have pictured for two performers this well known.
For Cameron, the wedding closes out a very public few years that included her Disney Channel breakout, a music career, and a high profile relationship history that fans have followed closely. For David, it comes not long after Maneskin's Eurovision-fueled global rise turned the Italian rock band into one of the more recognizable acts to come out of Europe in the last decade.
Why Fans Are Reacting This Way
Part of what makes this wedding land so hard with fans is the contrast between how private the couple has kept their relationship and how big both of their individual fanbases are. Cameron's audience spans from her Disney Channel years through her more recent music and film work, while David's fanbase is largely built on Maneskin's international breakout. A wedding that bridges both worlds, in a setting as picturesque as Tuscany, was always going to generate this kind of reaction online.
It's been a busy stretch for celebrity news generally. Just this month, Taylor Swift made headlines of her own with wedding news and a surprise song release, and fans have been drawing comparisons between two very different approaches to going public with a major life moment, one loud and one intentionally quiet. Meanwhile, entertainment news elsewhere has been just as busy, with Wednesday's producers mapping out a seven season plan for the show around the same time.
What Comes Next
Neither Cameron nor David has commented publicly on the wedding as of this writing, and given how tightly they controlled information about the event itself, it wouldn't be surprising if official photos or a statement come later on their own terms rather than in the immediate aftermath. For now, fans are left piecing together details from secondhand accounts, which for a couple this private, might be exactly how they wanted it to go.
Whatever comes next for the newlyweds, the wedding caps off a relationship that started with a chance meeting at an awards show and ended, three years later, with 200 guests in the Tuscan countryside. That's a longer and quieter arc than most celebrity romances get in the social media era, and it's a big part of why this news is resonating the way it is.
A Wedding Built for Two Different Worlds
Choosing Tuscany over a more conventional Los Angeles or New York venue fits the pattern of a couple who has consistently opted for privacy over spectacle. Italy is also home turf for David, whose career took off there before Maneskin's Eurovision win carried the band to a global audience, so hosting the wedding in the country makes sense beyond just picturesque scenery. For Cameron, it's a striking contrast to the very public, camera-ready image many fans associate with her Disney Channel years.
Wedding planners and industry watchers have already noted how tightly the guest list and location were controlled compared to other recent celebrity weddings, with almost nothing leaking before the ceremony itself. That level of discretion is increasingly rare for two people with this much combined social media reach, and it's part of why the reaction online has leaned toward genuine excitement rather than the usual mix of excitement and scrutiny that follows a more heavily publicized celebrity wedding.
