Cameron Mathison with kids Lucas and Leila
All My Children actorCameron Mathison, 38, who boogied his way to a 5th place finish on the most recent season of Dancing With the Stars, is also dad to Lucas Arthur, 4 ½, and Leila Emmanuelle, 17 months.
His wife of five years, Vanessa, tells Us,
We’re thrilled to have two beautiful, healthy kids — they’ve become everything to us. Cameron is a better father than I ever could have imagined.
He loves to play these funny characters and make-believe with them. They’ll turn the living room into the universe and take a spaceship from planet to planet.
Our son, Lucas, is starting to come out of his shell, and his inner goofball is starting to show, like his dad. Leila is beginning to knowingly refuse to do what we ask — you can see her testing us!
Cameron and I are both pretty busy, so how we split up parenting duties changes all the time. Generally, I’m more involved in planning and organization of classes and playdates, but Cameron is a very involved, hands-on dad!

Loved Cameron on DWtS, especially when he took off his shirt on the finale, so I’m always happy to see another shirtless photo!

Loved Cameron on “Dancing with the Stars” and he’s great on “All My Children”, too. Lucas and Leila are both beautiful children! And how sweet is it that she runs to give her brother a hug every morning? Such a cute story!

How do you pronounce Leila’s name? Is it Leila with a long e like Lee-la, or is it pronounced like the Eric Clapton song “Layla?”

Leila is my daughter’s name. It’s pronounced just like Layla.

Leila is the female version of Cam, and Lucas is the male version of Vanessa. It’s adorable that Leila hugs her brother every morning.
I still remember when Lucas was just a little baby running the house, hehe.

Lucas and Leila are really cute, they both look a lot like cameron, and I like their names. He is good on AMC and I liked him on DWTS too
