Getting engaged to the star of your favorite Disney Channel original movie may sound like the plot of a Disney Channel original movie, but it's real life for Damiano David.

The Måneskin frontman's fiancée, Dove Cameron, told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Tuesday that he has "a deep, deep love and reverence for the Descendants franchise."

Cameron, of course, starred in the Descendants movies as Mal, the daughter of the Disney villain Maleficent. The first film premiered in 2015, nearly 10 years before David and Cameron reportedly started dating in 2023.

"[David] loves Descendants in, like, a way that's almost divorced from his relationship with me," Cameron said, adding that the first one is his favorite.

David and Cameron announced their engagement in January.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
