“General Hospital” star Steve Burton, known for his smoldering good looks and decades-long run as Jason Morgan, has found love again after his very messy and very public divorce. But unlike the drama-filled storylines of Port Charles, Burton’s new romance has been blossoming under the radar.
Meet Michelle Lundstrom: Chef, Reality Star, and Burton’s New Leading Lady
Burton’s new love interest is Michelle Lundstrom, a talented chef, recipe creator, and former contestant on Netflix’s “Barbeque Showdown.
” The couple has been dating for several months, keeping their relationship relatively private until their red carpet debut at the Daytime Emmy Awards in June.
Lundstrom, clearly smitten with her soap star beau, gushed about the experience on Instagram.
“Our first red carpet together,” she wrote, sharing a photo of the beaming couple. “It was a dream of a night from beginning to end. Thank you for all the beautiful, kind comments & messages. I’m truly grateful.”
Burton’s “General Hospital” co-star Kirsten Storms couldn’t resist chiming in with a playful comment: “You are so cute together, this photo is almost hard to look at.
Disney Dates and Fanny Packs: A Glimpse into Their Relationship
Since their Emmy’s debut, Lundstrom has shared glimpses of their relationship on social media, showcasing their shared love of food, travel, and even a bit of Disney magic. Photos of the couple enjoying romantic dinners, exploring Disneyland (with Burton sporting “the largest fanny pack in Disney,” according to Lundstrom), and sharing sweet kisses by the ocean paint a picture of a couple blissfully happy and very much in love.
Moving On After a Messy Divorce
Burton’s new romance comes after a tumultuous period in his personal life. In May 2022, he announced his separation from his wife of 23 years, Sheree Burton, revealing that she was expecting a child with another man.
“Sheree and I are separated,” he shared in a statement. “She recently announced that she’s expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine. We are still coparenting our three beautiful kids. We would appreciate privacy at this time.”
Sheree has since welcomed two more children, keeping the identity of the father private.
A “General Hospital” Comeback and a New Beginning
Burton, meanwhile, has focused on his career, making a triumphant return to “General Hospital” as Jason Morgan after being fired in 2021 for refusing to comply with the network’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
With his personal life back on track and his career flourishing, it seems Steve Burton has finally found his happily ever after, proving that even in the world of soap operas, love can conquer all.
