Cameron Daddo gets emotional as he discusses hurting his wife Alison Brahe by cheating on her

Cameron Daddo has spoken about hurting his wife Alison Brahe by cheating on her three years after tying the knot in 1991.

The Australian actor, 59, discussed his marriage on Nova FM’s Separate Bathrooms podcast and admitted it’s important to ‘learn how to apologise’.

‘We were told by Reverend Brian that married us. He said you’re going to hurt your partner the most of anyone in your life. In my case, it’s probably true,’ an emotional Cameron said.

‘So it’s a good idea to learn how to apologise, mean it and then make the necessary actions, so you don’t repeat it. That’s a good lesson,’ he added.

The couple wed in 1991 and have three children together, daughters Lotus, 24, and Bodhi, 14, and a son, River, 20.

Earlier this month, Cameron and Alison celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.

Back in 2019, Cameron revealed his marriage was never the same again after his extra-marital affair in 1994.

Alison added that the couple had to go through a ‘hell of a lot of work’ before they could finally reach a happy place.

‘I was the one who left the marriage,’ Cameron told Woman’s Day, clarifying that he had been unfaithful, not Alison.

His infidelity took place in America, after he had relocated there for his acting career.

Alison admitted that their marriage was hardly ‘couple goals’, but they worked on it and are better off today.

‘You don’t get to 28 years of marriage without a hell of a lot of work and struggles – and a fair chunk of pain and tears,’ she said.

In a blog post for daddy website The Father Hood, Daddo blamed alcohol for his infidelity. 

‘I was the one that left the marriage,’ he said, citing alcohol and his work schedule as the main reasons behind his infidelity.

‘When I acted out in that way, I didn’t really want to be there,’ he continued.

‘There were reasons how I got into that place. And a lot of it was alcohol and being alone, feeling really lonely and being literally oceans away from my partner.’

The star said that he and Alison both received counselling to repair their marriage, and that the experience ultimately became something that they could grow from.
