‘General Hospital’ heartthrob, 57, defends age-gap relationship with 33-year-old girlfriend: ‘Tons in common’

Cameron Mathison shared how he and his girlfriend — nearly 25 years his junior — connect despite their wide age difference.

“It’s just incredible,” the “General Hospital” alum, 57, said of girlfriend Taelyr Robinson, 33, during a recent appearance on the “I Do, Part 2” podcast.

He insisted they have “tons, tons in common.”

Mathison, however, admitted that they didn’t quite align on how to share their romance with fans.

“I’m usually more private and, you know, she’s younger than I am,” he said, acknowledging that different generations view social media differently.

He added, “Instagram is a big deal and being Instagram official is a big deal, I think more so to younger generations.”

Mathison noted that he and Robinson regularly compromise and meet somewhere in the middle — and that he’s fine with publicly sharing their romance.

He did so, in fact, just two weeks ago when paying a special birthday tribute to his leading lady on Instagram.

In the upload, the actor shared photos of the happy couple on their dating adventures.

“Beautiful inside and out, and somehow even more so on the inside,” he captioned the post. “Happy birthday beauty 🎂✨ The world’s lucky to have you. And i am too:).”

The “Dancing With the Stars” alum admitted, however, that getting back into dating following his 22-year marriage — especially in the age of dating apps — had felt “messy and odd and surreal” to him.

It worked out, as the “All My Children” alum ultimately met his match on the exclusive Raya dating app, and they began dating earlier this year in April.

Mathison said he’s relieved to have found himself on the other side of the dating world, confessing that he’s “way, way better as a devoted, loyal, caring, loving partner than [he is] out there in the world kind of running around.”

He said Robinson, in turn, is an ideal partner, calling her “incredibly kind and sweet and smart and fun, adventurous and supportive and encouraging.”

Mathison shares two children with estranged wife Vanessa, whom he married in 2002 and separated from in 2024. They filed for legal separation in May, per TMZ.

Mathison is nowhere near the only celeb to speak out about an age-gap relationship this year.

Earlier this month, Savannah Chrisley’s thoughts on navigating her 27-year age gap with husband Jason Galanis amid news they’re welcoming a baby were revealed.

In September, Bunnie XO, who split from Jelly Roll earlier this year, defended her own age-gap romance with Dylan Wolf, who is 22 years her junior.

“Hey guys, I’m having fun & he gave me my smile back 💞,” she wrote via social media. “Ya girl is living her best life — let meeeee k thanks byeeeee.”
