Steve Burton, famed for his role on “General Hospital,” has taken a significant step in his personal life by getting engaged to Michelle Lundstrom. This announcement comes just over a year after his divorce from Sheree Gustin, who was expecting a child with another man when their separation was revealed. On January 3, 2025, Burton shared the news on Instagram, posting a joyful message that read “Engaged 1/3/25” alongside a heartfelt emoji-filled caption.
The couple is seen in a video where Burton proposes to Lundstrom, marking a new chapter for the actor, who is now 54. His previous marriage to Gustin, who is 47, lasted since January 1999 but ended in December 2023. They co-parent three children: Mackena, 21, Jack, 18, and Brooklyn, 10. In an Instagram story from May 2022, Burton clarified that while he and Gustin were separating, they would continue to raise their kids together.
Following their divorce, Gustin welcomed a fifth child two months later, but the details about the child’s father have not been disclosed. Burton first publicly acknowledged his relationship with Lundstrom at the Daytime Emmy Awards in June 2024, where they walked the red carpet as a couple. Lundstrom later expressed her excitement about their shared moment on social media.
As both continue to navigate their lives, it appears Burton is ready to embrace his future with Lundstrom after a tumultuous period in his past.
