Cameron Mathison, the 57-year-old “General Hospital” actor, is speaking publicly about his relationship with girlfriend Taelyr Robinson, 33, defending the nearly 25-year age gap between them.
“It’s just incredible,” Mathison said of the relationship during a recent appearance on the “I Do, Part 2” podcast, insisting the two have “tons, tons in common.”
Mathison said the couple doesn’t always agree on how publicly to display their relationship, pointing to a generational divide over social media. “I’m usually more private and, you know, she’s younger than I am,” he said. “Instagram is a big deal and being Instagram official is a big deal, I think more so to younger generations.”
He said the two compromise and meet in the middle on that front, and he’s since shared their relationship publicly himself. Two weeks ago, he posted a birthday tribute to Robinson on Instagram with photos from their time together. “Beautiful inside and out, and somehow even more so on the inside,” he wrote. “Happy birthday beauty 🎂✨ The world’s lucky to have you. And i am too:).”
Mathison, best known for his roles on “General Hospital” and “All My Children” and his time on “Dancing With the Stars,” was married to Vanessa for 22 years before separating in 2024; the two filed for legal separation in May. They share two children.
Mathison said reentering the dating world afterward, including through dating apps, felt “messy and odd and surreal.” He met Robinson on the exclusive Raya app, and the two began dating in April.
He described himself as “way, way better as a devoted, loyal, caring, loving partner than [he is] out there in the world kind of running around,” and called Robinson “incredibly kind and sweet and smart and fun, adventurous and supportive and encouraging.”
Mathison joins a list of celebrities who have discussed age-gap relationships this year, including Savannah Chrisley, who is 27 years younger than husband Jason Galanis, and Bunnie XO, who has defended her relationship with Dylan Wolf, 22 years her junior, since splitting from Jelly Roll.
