Online reports have sometimes mixed up Cameron Britton’s personal life, with a few outlets incorrectly naming Caitlin Ferrante as his spouse. To set the record straight, Cameron himself addressed the mistake.
He shared a screenshot of the erroneous article with the caption, ‘Apparently, I have a lot of explaining to do.‘ Fans joined the joke — one replied, ‘I always knew you were living a double life.‘
So, to be clear: Cameron is married to Danielle Britton, not Caitlin. Their relationship traces back to a chance connection at a preschool where Cameron worked as a teacher and Danielle was his aide — their meeting is detailed in an interview about how the romance began.
Their first spark in 2009 was brief, and they spent about a year apart while Cameron dated someone else. Reflecting on that time, he said:
I honestly found another girl who was an actress – my wife is not an actress – I found someone who was very loud and exciting: and that’s the type I was used to dating. That girl didn’t work out probably after a year-and-a-half.
Eventually they reconnected on Facebook and kept things casual at first. As their conversations continued, the friendship evolved into a committed relationship.
By 2010 their bond had grown serious, even with Cameron’s temporary move to Nashville. When he returned in 2013 he moved in with Danielle, and the couple later welcomed their son, Ben.
The Couple Welcomed a Son
Exact details about when they tied the knot remain a bit fuzzy, but Cameron’s personal Facebook profile offers a clear window into their relationship.
On November 28, 2016, Cameron shared a photo on Facebook that suggested a major life event: Danielle appears in the background with her hand showing a ring, implying they may have become engaged around then.
Although Cameron’s main Facebook presence highlights his professional work, his personal account under the name Cameron Hastings is full of lighthearted comments and treasured family snapshots, painting a warm portrait of their home life.
Their son, Ben, was born on May 6, 2019. The following day, Cameron posted a playful and affectionate update on Facebook:
This is Ben! The one in the middle! We met him Monday morning, and he’s gonna move in with me and Dani, rent free. He’s that awesome. And we love you all.
Clearly, family and parenthood are central joys in Cameron’s life.
How Danielle Grounds Cameron Between His On-Screen Darkness and Home Life
Having a partner who regularly plays sinister characters makes domestic life unusually interesting. Cameron—best known for portraying the notorious “co‑ed killer” in Netflix’s Mindhunter—sometimes finds the line between his parts and his true self blurring.
In an open conversation with RadioTimes.com, he admitted it can be hard to shake off those darker roles, to the point that he’ll actually tell the character to leave at the dinner table: “Get out of there! Go away, I’m having dinner with my wife, and she doesn’t want you here either!”
Danielle meets those moments with a mix of empathy and good humor, checking in playfully—often asking, “Is Ed here today?” when traces of his character peek through. She’s also actively supported his career offscreen: she used her iPhone to record the audition tapes that helped land his part on Mindhunter, as noted on motionpictures.org.
Danielle’s Education and Life After Work
Danielle’s academic path started at Santa Monica College, where she studied Arts and Early Childhood Education. She later pursued Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica, and went on to earn both a Master’s and a Doctorate in Spiritual Science from the Peace Theological Seminary & College of Philosophy.
Her résumé includes a variety of roles, from serving as a registrar at the Peace Theological Seminary & College of Philosophy to hands-on work as a wilderness guide and chef at Rock Creek Pack Station.
Although her LinkedIn still lists her as a registrar, she and her family relocated to Sebastopol, CA—Cameron’s hometown—in 2021 to be nearer to his relatives.
Today, Danielle appears to have shifted her focus away from a public career, concentrating on family life and caring for her loved ones at home.
