You have to wear white every day. You have to always have your nails done. ‘Cause there’s no way we, as a group, as a community, can plan this engagement if you’re not gonna be prepared, ‘ ” Cameron recalled.\n<\/p>\n Even though the\u00a0Descendants<\/a>\u00a0star knew a proposal was coming, it happened when she least expected it when the couple were at home packing for a trip.\n<\/p>\n “Clothing is everywhere, I’m in a big T-shirt, no makeup, hair still kind of wet from the shower, and I’m running round like a little creature in our house,” Cameron remembered.\n<\/p>\n Engagement photo of Dove Cameron and Damiano David.<\/p>\n Dove Cameron\/Instagram<\/p>\n David stopped to admire Cameron, despite her noting she’s “the worst version” of herself when packing. It was then that it clicked to her what was about to happen.\n<\/p>\n “I was so prepared until literally right now, and so I ran into the other room panicking thinking, ‘Should I do my nails?’ Like, what do I do? I gotta be ready,” she said before joking, “I forgot how to function for a minute, my brain broke in half.”\n<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.\n<\/p>\n David called out for Cameron, and she eventually came out into the living room where he was waiting for her.

I know maybe you were 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. And so I wanted to do this here, in our home, because I want dishes, I want laundry, I want making food together, I want you in your big T-shirt. This is the life that I choose, and I hope you chose the same. Will you marry me?”\n<\/p>\n The couple announced their engagement<\/a>\u00a0on Jan. 3, but the proposal actually happened some time in October, per\u00a0Vogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEED TO KNOW Dove Cameron and Damiano David got engaged in October 2025 and announced the news in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443822,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":["post-443821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=443821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
