They recently sparked engagement rumours when they shared a sweet picture of themselves embracing in front of the sunset.

He said: "Even if we are so close, the reality is that we know each other for only six months so it would be nice to see at least a two-year relationship before you commit for life.
"This is what I always will delight with fans to understand, that even if everything is perfect, it seems a dream, you need to be realistic."
Davide added to MailOnline : "And before you get engaged for life, I think it would be wise to wait two years at least, you know, so you can discover more about the other person."
Back in December, the couple had tongues wagging when they shared a romantic clip on social media.
