As Sonny Corinthos, Maurice Benard is a father to his fictional on-screen kids on “General Hospital,” but he’s also got his hands full off-screen with his family at home. His eldest daughter, Cailey, is a University of San Diego graduate. In 2020, her father officiated her wedding to her husband Carlos. Maurice posted a video of the ceremony on Instagram, captioning it, “Marrying Cailey and Carlos was an honor and a privilege not to mention very very sweet.” Maurice has also had nothing but incredible things to say about his daughter Cassidy Rose, who is the spitting image of her mother, Paula Benard. Maurice shared a clip of him and his middle daughter in 2022, writing, “Cassidy has a sweet nature. I truly don’t believe she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.” Her boyfriend also helps edit Maurice’s “State of Mind” videos.
Maurice and Paula’s journey to adopt their daughter Heather is also heart-melting. Heather is actually Paula’s half-sister and joined the Benard family in 2008 when she was 15. Maurice also had an emotional reunion with Heather on “The Tamron Hall Show” in 2023. Heather showed up on stage in her Air Force uniform, prompting her father to try and hold back his tears. Maurice even said, “”I am so proud of her, and, uh, I can’t talk, so can I leave?”
And while Maurice loves all his daughters, his son Joshua has also been getting a lot of attention from “General Hospital” fans.
