Cameron Mathison’s Filled With Love and Gratitude
The past couple of years have put the Great American Family star through the wringer.
Mathison and his wife, Vanessa Mathison, filed for divorce after 22 years of marriage. In January, 2025, the Mathison family was one of many who lost their homes in the LA fires. The soap star recently revealed he’s beginning a new chapter because of the devastating loss.
However, no matter what life throws at him, Mathison remains filled with gratitude and love. Mathison is blessed with two kids who mean the world to him, son Lucas and daughter Leila. He loves spending time with them and often shares family fun on social media.
The beloved actor remains booked and busy for work, too. While Mathison has been on the back burner at “General Hospital” because Drew’s incapacitated, that will be changing this summer, and he will be back in the mix.
Mathison’s downtime on the ABC soap allowed him to make movies for Great American Family, including the third installment of the Home Sweet Christmas franchise, “Sweet Christmas Anniversary” with Candace Cameron Bure. The actor also experienced a career first this year, working on Great American Family Christmas movies that fans will see this upcoming holiday season.
