Dove Cameron and Damiano David are married. The Disney Channel alum and the former Måneskin frontman exchanged vows on Thursday, 24 September, in a civil ceremony at the Palazzo dei Priori, the historic town hall of Montalcino in Tuscany, according to E! News and Vanity Fair Italia.

The Dove Cameron and Damiano David wedding was a closely guarded affair, but it still drew a crowd. Fans, tourists and photographers filled the piazza outside for a glimpse of the couple, who have spent much of their relationship trying to keep their private life out of the spotlight.

A small civil ceremony in the heart of Montalcino

According to Vanity Fair Italia’s report from Montalcino, the ceremony was officiated by the town’s mayor, Silvio Franceschelli. It lasted about 20 minutes and was conducted in Italian, with English translation during the reading of the formal documents.

The magazine reported that about 50 guests, all family members and close friends, attended. Inside the medieval building, parts of which date to the 13th and 14th centuries, the setting was dressed almost entirely in white, with hydrangeas, calla lilies, lilies and candles.

The couple arrived together shortly before 7 p.m. local time, with David at the wheel, and emerged as newlyweds to a shower of rice and cheers from the crowd behind the barriers, Vanity Fair Italia reported. Montalcino also marked the day in its own way: the local Brunello di Montalcino wine consortium gave the couple a magnum of its 2021 vintage, according to the magazine.

For the couple, the day was only the beginning. Vanity Fair Italia said celebrations would continue that evening and over the following two days at Castiglion del Bosco, a wine resort in the surrounding Val d’Orcia countryside.

The wedding looks

Cameron skipped the traditional gown. As detailed by E! News, she wore a loose-fitting white suit over a cream button-up shirt, finished with a one-shoulder cape, a matching belt and a tie. She carried a bouquet of calla lilies and wore her long black hair down.

David went for a cream double-breasted suit worn without a shirt, with a beige silk scarf draped over his shoulders.

Earlier this year, Cameron spoke openly about what she wanted to wear. In a February interview with Allure, quoted by E! News, she said she wanted to “design a dress that feels inclusive of the fullness of who I am.” Cameron, who shared in 2021 that she identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, described feeling “split down the middle energetically between a masculine-feminine energy.”

From a cold first meeting to marriage

Their love story did not start smoothly. Cameron, 30, and David, 27, first crossed paths at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, but she has said he barely looked at her. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast in February 2026, Cameron recalled thinking he disliked her, before later learning he had been “in a really bad place” at the time.

They got a second chance at the 2023 VMAs. This time, Cameron said, David was friendly and invited her to Måneskin’s show at Madison Square Garden. The pair began dating soon after.

In January 2026, Cameron announced their engagement on Instagram with a photo of her ring and the caption “My favourite part of being alive. Happy new year.”

Building a life between Rome and Los Angeles

On the eve of the wedding, the couple spoke to Vogue Italia about balancing two international careers, as recounted by Vanity Fair Italia. They described splitting time between Rome and Los Angeles, with Cameron studying Italian and speaking it with David. “We don’t want to be in a long-distance relationship,” Cameron said, according to that account.

David, who rose to global fame with Eurovision-winning rock band Måneskin before launching a solo career, said that in his heart and mind, home will always be Rome. For the couple, Vanity Fair Italia observed, the idea of home now has more to do with each other than with any single address.

A private day, shared briefly

Beyond the roughly 50 guests described by Vanity Fair Italia, the full guest list has not been made public, and the couple kept the day as private as possible.
