General Hospital’s Steve Burton Is Engaged to Michelle Lundstrom

General Hospital star Steve Burton and girlfriend Michelle Lundstrom are engaged.

“Engaged 1/3/25. ❤️💍♾️,” Burton, 54, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 4, alongside a slideshow of sweet photos of the couple from their engagement. One snap captured the moment where Burton got down one one knee and popped the question.

Burton’s caption continued, “Jeremiah 29:11. ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

Well-wishers flooded the comments section to congratulate the happy couple, including Burton’s General Hospital costars.

“Steve and Michelle, I wish you both a long, loving, and fruitful life together! Congratulations!” wrote costar Rick Hearst, while fellow cast member Finola Hughes gushed, “Congratulations! I wish you both all the happiness in the future, you are a wonderful couple! Congratulations, Michelle!”

Burton was previously married to Sheree Gustin from 1999 to 2022, with whom he shares three children: daughters Makena and Brooklyn and son Jack.

Burton’s last marriage made headlines in May 2022 when it was revealed that he and Gustin, 46, had split after 23 years of marriage, and she was expecting a baby with another man. (The pair had legally separated in March that year.)

“I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated. She recently announced that she’s expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine,” the General Hospital star wrote online at the time. “We are still coparenting our three beautiful kids. We would appreciate privacy at this time. Much luv, Steve.”

Gustin went on to welcome her fourth child, daughter Izabella, in February 2023 and the father’s identity has been kept private. (She gave birth to baby No. 5, daughter Addy, in February 2024.)

As for Burton, the soap opera star confirmed his and Lundstrom’s relationship to the Daily Drama in May 2024, but it wasn’t until the following months that the pair made their red carpet debut at the Daytime Emmy Awards last June.

“Our first red carpet together. It was a dream of a night from beginning to end,” Lundstrom wrote via Instagram in June, as she gushed over the night out with her partner. “Thank you for all the beautiful, kind comments & messages. I’m truly grateful ❤️🙏🏼.”

At the time, Burton’s General Hospital costar Kirsten Storms wrote in the comments, “You are so cute together, this photo is almost hard to look at. 🥰 ❤️.”
