‘General Hospital’ Star Cameron Mathison and Wife Split After 22 Years of Marriage
Cameron Mathison is airing out an old memory.
Just weeks before sharing his separation from wife Vanessa Mathison, the General Hospital star revealed that he requested not to be paired up with Edyta Sliwinska over his wife’s possible concerns ahead of their season five run on Dancing with the Stars.
“I don’t know if Edyta knows this, I actually called Deena Katz, who at the time was casting director,” Cameron explained to fellow DWTS alum Cheryl Burke on her Sex, Lies and Spray Tans podcast July 22. “I called her and I said, ‘Listen, I’m so happy you’ve offered me the show, I can’t wait I’m in. Just do me a favor, please put me with anybody but Edyta.”
After his stipulation surprised Cheryl, Cameron was quick to explain it had to do with his now-estranged wife—with whom he announced his separation on July 31.
“Because I knew my wife and I, we were going through a little bit of a challenge at that time,” he continued. “And Edyta didn’t wear a lot of clothes.”
At the time, Cameron, who shares Lucas, 21, and Leila, 17, with Vanessa, suspected his wife wouldn’t be too happy about their pairing.
