The news of Steve Burton’s relationship comes two years after the actor announced his split from Sheree Burton.
Burton’s Divorce & His Return To Port Charles
In May 2022, he took to Instagram Stories to address the news of Sheree’s pregnancy. “I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated,” he wrote. “She recently announced that she’s expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine. We are still co-parenting our three beautiful kids. We would appreciate privacy at this time. Much luv, Steve.”
Two months after that, it was confirmed that the Daytime Emmy Award-winning actor filed for divorce from Sheree Burton, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. In December 2023, the terms of the divorce were finalized and he was ordered to pay $12,500 per month in child support. This amount was reduced to $10,000 per month in April 2024.
After his divorce was settled, Steve Burton announced his departure from Days Of Our Lives. “I just shot my final scenes here at Days of Our Lives,” he stated in a video on social media. “I just want to say thank you so much to the cast [and] to the crew. Everybody. It’s been amazing.”
Then, on March 4, Burton reprised his role of Jason Morgan on General Hospital after being off the daytime soap opera for three years. The last time fans saw Jason, he was trapped in a collapsed tunnel, but it seems he’s made his way back to Port Charles.
“It was incredible going back,” he said about returning to the soap. “Just the welcome back from everybody on the lot, starting with the people at the gate. It was amazing.”
Now, it seems he is making a comeback in his love life too.
