Cameron Mathison Reveals "Incredible" New Relationship After Divorce

Cameron Mathison Gives Rare Update on Dating Life After Vanessa Mathison DivorceCameron Mathison has found his leading lady. The All My Children alum revealed that he’s amazed to have found love with girlfriend Taelyr Robinson two years after he and ex-wife Vanessa Mathison announced their divorce in July 2024 after 22 years of marriage. “Taelyr is just such an incredibly kind and sweet and smart and fun, adventurous and supportive and encouraging woman,” Mathison shared on the I Do, Part 2 podcast Nov. 7. “It’s just incredible.” “We have tons in common,” he continued, “and I never really thought that I would have that much in common again with somebody after being with Vanessa for 22, 23 years.” But finding love wasn’t so easy the second time around as the 57-year-old navigated dating apps. And while he did meet “a lot of incredible amazing women,” he also realized that dating around was not for him and mostly served as a “distraction.” That is, until he met Robinson on the app Raya in April, going Instagram official in September. “I met Taylor and obviously I am way, way better as a devoted, loyal, caring, loving partner,” Mathison said. “I was in a relationship for basically 25 years, including the time we were dating, so it was messy and odd and surreal at the time—55 year old was out on a dating app.” For now, the General Hospital star is enjoying his romance with Robinson, explaining to podcast hosts Daisy Fuentes and Richard Marx that their relationship was still relatively new and he was doing his best to navigate some of the expectations.Cameron Mathison/Instagram“The Instagram official aspect, I’m usually more private and she’s younger than I am,” he noted. “But Instagram is a big deal and being Instagram official’s a big deal, I think more so to potentially younger generations. I’m learning and compromise and stuff, but I’m very open and happy to put it out there and share it with people.” And Mathison—who is dad to kids Lucas, 23, and Leila, 20, with his ex—has clearly taken to sharing his love for Robinson on Instagram, sharing a sweet tribute for her birthday. “Beautiful inside and out, and somehow even more so on the inside,” he posted Oct. 29 alongside a photo carousel of the two. “Happy birthday beauty. The world’s lucky to have you. And I am too :).” For a deep dive into the love lives of more of your favorite soap stars, keep reading.
