Inneresting! We may have our first hint as to why things didn’t work out between Cameron Mathison and wife Vanessa!
The couple announced their split after 22 years of marriage in a post on Instagram Wednesday, saying they’d “made the difficult decision to part ways.” there was nothing about why, and it kind of came out of nowhere for many fans. But it didn’t come out of nowhere for Vanessa…

Cameron, known to General Hospital fans as hunky Drew Cain, made a podcast appearance just a week and a half before the news that may actually give us more insight into the split than intended…
Speaking to Cheryl Burke on her Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans podcast, the soap star dished on his time as a competitor on Dancing With The Stars — and how it caused some issues at home. Cameron was on Season 5 way back in 2007, about five years into his marriage. He learned early on he’d be paired with Edyta Śliwińska, and that apparently didn’t sit well with someone… He recalled:
“She’s a very beautiful woman, and I don’t even know if Edyta knows this. I actually called Dina Katz, who’s my dear friend now, who at the time was casting director. I called her and I said, ‘Listen, I’m so happy that you’ve offered me the show. I can’t wait. I’m in. Just do me a favor. Put me with anybody but Edyta.'”
What?? Why??
“I knew my wife and I, we were going through a little bit of a challenge at that time, and Edyta didn’t wear a lot of clothes.”
Um… WHAT.
Reading between the lines here, it sounds like he was worried about Vanessa getting jealous. As in, he gave her a reason to be insecure about their marriage. That “little bit of a challenge” sounds to us like a really soft euphemism for “cheating scandal.” We should be clear, Cameron doesn’t come out and say that, but we don’t know how else to read this!
He elaborated:
“We’d recently gone through a bunch of stuff, and it wasn’t great timing and I was off in L.A. spending time with this beautiful woman, dressed up, against her, sweating with her five hours a day rehearsing, and then doing all the press and touring stuff together, and it was really hard.”
Hmm…
To be clear, Edyta was a newlywed, having just married investor Alec Mazo. So The All My Children alum said the popularity of the show made it a real “pressure cooker” of nerves that forged a real bond between the dance pros and contestants:
“You become really close, and it works for the show, and it works for the people that are watching the show, but it doesn’t work for the family at home.”
Damn, he really is implying it was a struggle for his wife — though he says she was “a trooper” about the whole thing.
What do YOU take from this interview? Is he accidentally implying he had given Vanessa reason to worry? Are we reading into it too much?? Let us know, Perezcious marriage experts!
