"The first time [we met] was at the 2022 VMAs and his band and I were both up for the same award," she told Cosmopolitan during an interview published in June 2024. "Then a couple months later, their team had reached out to me about coming to their album release and I couldn't make it work with the dates, but I was like, 'Oh, that's so sweet that they thought about me. We only met once.'" She added, "At one point, the band and I had been thinking about doing a collaboration. They had recorded something, so I went in, and I recorded over that track."

And I think when we met, we were not looking," Cameron told the outlet. "It was just sort of investigating [and] it was very, very slow, cautious, feeling-out, interview-type questions for eight hours before it was finally like, 'OK, are we holding hands now?'"

"I'm in one of the happiest moments of my personal life," he said during a March appearance on SiriusXM's Hits 1 show. "I have the healthiest relationship I've ever had, and I manage to see my family, see my friends [and] take care of myself.

Please be sensitive, as this is painful." Cameron later dated her Descendants costar Thomas Doherty for four years before they split in 2020. That same year, Cameron publicly came out as bisexual. "I was never confused about who I was," she told Gay Times in a May 2021 interview. "I felt like I wouldn't be accepted and I had this strange narrative that people wouldn't believe me. ... It felt like something that I could never talk about. I feel like the industry has changed a lot in terms of having room for people with platforms to be human and not to be picked apart." David, for his part, was previously in a six-year relationship with model Giorgia Soleri before they broke up in 2023.
