General Hospital's Cameron Mathison and Wife Vanessa Mathison Announce Split After 22 Years of Marriage (2024)

In a joint statement on Wednesday on both Cameron Mathison (Drew, GH) and Vanessa Mathison’s Instagram accounts, the couple have revealed that they are parting ways after 22 years of marriage.

The General Hospital star, where he plays Drew Quartermaine, also welcomed Vanessa to Port Charles for a guest stint for three episodes back in 2022. On the ABC soap opera, Vanessa played an executive coach named Mia.

Cameron and Vanessa met back in 1998 while both modeling in New York City. Later, they tied the knot in 2002 and have two children together, Lucas, 21, and Leila, 18.

The heartbreaking statement read, in part:”After 22 years of marriage, we have made the difficult decision to part ways. We enter this new chapter with deep love, kindness, and respect for each other. We hold gratitude in our hearts for the wonderful years we shared together.”

The two also shared that Lucas and Leila’s well-being during the end of their union was of utmost importance to both of them: “Our children have been and will continue to be our highest priority, and we will forever share in our devotion and love for them. We remain friends, and both wish the best for one another. We sincerely appreciate your respect for our family’s privacy during this transition.”

As soap fans know, Cameron is extremely busy appearing in multiple projects including hosting Game Show Network’s Beat the Bridge, his series regular role on GH, and as one of the leads in Great American Media content and movie after securing a multi-year deal.

While it appears there was no trouble from those on the outside looking in on their over two decade marriage, Mathison told ET in 2022, “We’ve been married 20 years coming up this summer, and it hasn’t all been smooth, for sure. We went through rocky times the first five years.”

The split comes as the five-year anniversary of Cameron’s kidney cancer diagnosis nears in September, where as of now he is cancer-free.

It’s going to be crisis-mode tomorrow on Friday’s episode of the General Hospital, following the ending of the Thursday, August 1st episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

The scene that has everyone buzzing featured Maura West and Kate Mansi as Ava and Kristina. After being summoned to testify against her father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) that she witnessed the beatdown of Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) at the hands of the mobster, Kristina is on the warpath.

Next, Kristina shows up in Ava’s room at the Metro Court Hotel, John (Adam J. Harrington) has already conveniently left and put his duffel bag behind the table. Kristina confronts Ava demanding she withdraw the subpoena. Ava says she is a mother trying to protect her daughter, and she should know something about that, given her current state.

Ava points out that if Kristina fails to testify she will be in contempt of court, and it will only bolster her case. Ava taunts Kristina about what she is hiding that has her afraid to testify. Kristina warns her to withdraw the subpoena or else. Ava says she’s looking forward to watching Kristina testify against Sonny in a court-of-law.

As the two continue to argue, photos are being taken through the window. Kristina promises she will make Ava regret making her take the stand, because when she does she’ll tell everyone what Ava did to Morgan and that she murdered Connie Falconeri. As Ava moves towards Kristina, she screams, “Don’t touch me!” Next, thing you know, Kristina takes one step back, trips over Cates’ luggage and crashes through the window landing in the Metro Court pool with several onlookers watching the terrible fall, including Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez).

Kate Mansi spoke to Soap Opera Digest on taping the showdown between Ava and Kristina, that led up to her GH alter ego crashing through the window: “I think that was really smart and it leaves it in this really sort of knotty gray area because it’s like, ‘Wait, did she push her, or did she fall? Whose fault is it?’ The blame isn’t black and white. Kristina came to Ava’s hotel room so hot, you know? Off the charts! Kristina isn’t attacking her, but if you think about it, Kristina comes into her space and is yelling at her and upset with her and making demands and there is all this heat coming from Kristina. Ava did not lure her there; Kristina went there willingly, on her own.”

So, what did you think of a pregnant Kristina crashing through the window? Will the baby survive? Will Kristina see her brother Morgan (Bryan Craig) if she heads towards the light? Will Ava be accused of trying to kill Kristina? Share your theories via the comment section below.
