For any couple whoโve been lucky enough to enjoy a decades-long union, one thing theyโd almost always agree on is that marriage is hard work.
And one of the most enduring couples in showbiz, Cameron Daddo and Alison Brahe, can attest to that, after announcing that after more than 30 years together, theyโve made a major decision.

โSometimes we can get lost in the minutiae of little things feeling like they are huge things,โ Alison, 53, clarifies.
โAnd thatโs why I was saying to you the other day, I said, โWe actually have a really good relationship. Letโs not toss everything out, the baby with the bathwater,โ and just go, โThis part needs attention for sureโ.โ
โWe just need to work on reconnecting, little things,โ she adds, with Cameron confirming they needed some โtweaksโ. โBut Iโm really happy with where weโre at right now.โ

Cameron and Alison have never shied away from airing their private battles with their fans, with the pair admitting they hope that by doing so through their podcast, it will help other people through relationship problems.
โItโs warts and all,โ laughs Cameron. โItโs not a photoshopped Insta-version of our livesโฆ itโs reflections on how weโve made it this far.โ
GOLDEN COUPLE
Thirty-five years ago, boy-next-door Cameron quit as host of Perfect Match Australia and went on to find his ideal woman in top model Alison.
Their romance made for fairytale headlines. He was the countryโs most eligible bachelor, while her sunny beach beauty featured on scores of magazine covers.
Of course, they would live happily ever after, just like the bridegroomโs mother and father, whose December wedding anniversary they share. Except it didnโt quite work out like that!
Chasing Cameronโs acting dream to Hollywood in 1992, stardom proved elusive, despite roles in blockbuster series The Mentalist, CSI and Nikita.
Alison was shattered when, in 1994, Cameron confessed to cheating on her.
โInfidelity shaped our marriage like nothing else,โ she says today.
โI was deeply insecure. I felt so much lesser than Cam, the Perfect Match prince. I had really lost myself.โ

โTherapy โ back then a very LA solution โ proved to be the answer. Iโd say thatโs where our marriage evolved the most,โ smiles Alison.
โWe had to understand why we were so attracted to each other, what our downfalls were, and ways we could work to stay together.โ
The coupleโs troubles were far from over, however. They rescued their marriage but financial ruin came knocking. With three children, Lotus, 27, River, 23, and Bodhi, 17, only $100 in the bank and on the verge of homelessness and bankruptcy, Cameron and Alison have remained strong and thanks to their candour, are enjoying a career resurgence with podcast Separate Bathrooms.

Originally a 10-part series, Separate Bathrooms has been running since 2019 and the insanely popular podcast shows no sign of flagging.
โWhen we posted photos together, people would always say things like, โIt looks so easy for you.โ But it wasnโt as if weโd been touched by a magic wand that gave us a brilliant relationship that doesnโt have the trials and tribulations everybody elseโs does.โ
โAnd thatโs why we started the podcast, to say youโre not alone and it does work, but youโve got to put in the work.โ
The Daddos โ and their enduring marriage โ are the living, breathing proof of that.
