On General Hospital, Drew Cain has had his ups and downs in romantic relationships. Currently, he is locked in, literally, to his marriage with Willow Tait. His portrayer, Cameron Mathison, hasn’t had smooth sailing in romance either since his divorce from his wife, Vanessa Mathison, in 2024. While he hasn’t been shot in the back or injected with paralytic drugs like his character, Mathison has found that wading into the dating pool now comes with its own share of drama.General Hospital star is single in real lifeCameron Mathison as Drew Cain | Image: ABCMathison said that he has tried out dating apps since the divorce, but he has not been satisfied with the experience. Like others in his age group, he grew up without social media and had to meet potential paramours in person first."I got to be honest, I got a little caught up in it, got a little busy, because I wasn’t used to having to meet people," he told Us Weekly "I was also trying to distract [myself] from a broken heart. … I met a lot of amazing people, one in particular that became, like, a more committed sort of situation, but at the same time, I hadn’t been ready for anything more serious.”The GH star said he continues to date, but he said that dealing with the apps was too overwhelming, and he is focusing on doing it the more traditional way and not through the Internet.A new worldCameron Mathison as Drew Cain | Image: ABCCameron and Vanessa announced their divorce in July 2024.
