It’s never easy when your kids leave the roost and Cameron Mathison had a hard time letting his youngest go off to college. In June 2024, he celebrated his daughter Leila Mathison’s high school graduation and wrote on Instagram, “Your dedication, resilience, and passion have brought you to this moment, and I couldn’t be prouder. You amaze me every single day. I love you so much. Here’s to all the adventures that lie ahead. Next stop Paris.” A month prior, Cameron sent his daughter off to prom, but not without some waterworks. “Leila, I want you to know that you are always on my mind and in my heart. I’m so grateful for every moment I get to spend with you, and remember no matter where life takes you always know that you are loved beyond measure,” he gushed while sharing pics of the two hugging, adding that he shed some tears during their touching father-daughter moment.
“It’s tough,” Cameron stated of his kids moving out, per People. “I’m about to be an empty nester. My kids are older, my daughter’s leaving. It’s the best thing in the world. But at the same time, I don’t think I’m ready. I mean, you think you are. You’re like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be awesome,’ but I’m going to miss them,'” he lamented. However, he looked on the bright side and relished having a cleaner house with his real-life wife Vanessa Arevalo Mathison, as well as more time to work on side projects.
