General Hospital star Steve Burton has found a happy ending with new wife Michelle Lundstrom.
The 54-year-old actor married Lundstrom on Saturday, May 17, surrounded by family in an intimate Orthodox church ceremony. They celebrated the milestone with a reception at Montage Laguna Beach in California.
“This day isn’t just about a ceremony,” Burton gushed to People. “It’s the beginning of forever with the love of my life.”
According to the outlet, some of Burton’s General Hospital pals were on hand to celebrate the happy couple. (Jonathan Jackson and wife Lisa Vultaggio were included in the wedding party.)
Burton’s three children — daughters Makena, 21, and Brooklyn, 10, and son Jack, 19 — had roles in the special occasion, as did Lundstrom’s daughters from a previous relationship — Lilah, 14, and Hannah, 10. Her daughters also helped choose the perfect wedding dress: a strapless gown custom-made by Lee Petra Grebenau.
“When I tried on my dress I knew it was the one,” Lundstrom said. “I came out to show my girls and they both said, ‘That’s the one, Mom!’ We all knew.”
As they begin their next chapter together, Lundstrom gushed that she has “never felt so safe and loved” before — and the feeling is mutual. “I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, growing together each day in faith and love,” Burton added. “Honestly, I’ve never felt so loved and cared for in my entire life. I’m incredibly grateful to have her by my side. She is the most amazing, beautiful, and selfless woman I’ve ever known. I love her so much.”
For Lundstrom, finding love with Burton feels just like a fairy tale. “He’s like pure sunshine — always uplifting, endlessly caring. His love makes me a better person every single day,” the bride said. “To have the most incredible man I’ve ever known by my side forever brings me so much peace and happiness. He is the love of my life, and I feel so blessed to call him mine.”
The soap star was previously married to Sheree Burton from 1999 to 2023. Steve filed for divorce in July 2022, two months after alleging that Sheree was pregnant with another man’s baby. In documents obtained by Us Weekly, he listed their date of separation as March 1 and cited “irreconcilable differences.”
The exes reached a settlement in December 2023, agreeing to share joint legal and physical custody of their younger children. Steve was ordered to pay Sheree $12,500 per month in child support until April 2024, with the amount reduced to $10,000 per month thereafter. He also owed $2,500 per month in additional support until his payments reached a total of $50,000.
Sheree gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Izabella, in February 2023. “I know I’m far from perfect but my kids know they’re loved and ultimately that’s really all that matters. ????,” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
One year later, Sheree announced that she welcomed her fifth baby, daughter Addy Jay. She has not publicly identified the father of her youngest children.
Steve, meanwhile, proposed to Lundstrom in January after confirming their romance in May 2024.
