Soap star Steve Burton finds 'fairy tale love' with new bride
Steve Burton said "I do" to new wife Michelle Lundstrom on Saturday during an intimate wedding in Laguna Beach, Calif.
The "General Hospital" star and his new bride tied the knot with an immediate family-only, Orthodox church ceremony, followed by a reception at the ritzy Montage Laguna Beach.
Burton, 54, proposed to Lundstrom, 44, in January, more than one year after finalizing his divorce with ex-wife Sheree Gustin following a real-life soap opera split.
"This day isn't just about a ceremony," Burton told People magazine. "It's the beginning of forever with the love of my life."
Burton shares three children with his ex-wife, while Lundstrom has two daughters from her previous relationship. Their "dream-like celebration filled with so much love" was "more meaningful than words can express."
"I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, growing together each day in faith and love," Burton said before Lundstrom added that marriage "means everything" to them.
"Honestly, I've never felt so loved and cared for in my entire life," he admitted. "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."
Lundstrom, a chef and content creator, said, "Gosh, he's proven that fairy tale love truly exists. He's like pure sunshine – always uplifting, endlessly caring. His love makes me a better person every single day."
She added, "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."
Lundstrom noted that she and Burton "built a deep, meaningful friendship before [their] relationship turned romantic."
Burton popped the question in January on a Nashville farm which included a romantic chapel.
"I told Michelle we were going to look at a piece of property to possibly buy," Burton said. "The plan unfolded perfectly and she said yes!"
"It was incredibly sweet," Lundstrom said. "He had a backdrop of the first place we met in person set up on the stage. When he got down on one knee, I was filled with emotion and a bit in shock. But, of course, I said yes."
Burton and his ex-wife Sheree Gustin Burton finalized their divorce in December 2023, more than one year after he filed a petition to end their marriage.
The former couple agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their minor children, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
The "Days of Our Lives" actor initially announced their separation in May 2022 after 23 years of marriage, and revealed that while Sheree was pregnant with a fourth child, Burton was not the father of the baby.
Burton revealed their split last year on Instagram. "I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated," Burton wrote on his Instagram story in May 2022. "She recently announced that she's expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine."
Sheree gave birth to a daughter, Izabella, and welcomed her fifth child in February 2024.

NBA World Reacts to Kevin Durant Trade on Sunday
NBA World Reacts to Kevin Durant Trade on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As NBA fans prepared for a winner-take-all NBA Finals Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the blockbuster Kevin Durant trade took the basketball world by storm. Advertisement According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Phoenix Suns are trading the two-time NBA Finals MVP to the Houston Rockets, who finished No. 2 in the Western Conference behind Oklahoma City this season. In return, Phoenix will get Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft and five second-round picks to form a new core around four-time All-Star guard Devin Booker. Here's what the NBA world had to say about the Durant trade on Sunday. Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35) and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23)© Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Right away, the most notable response came from Durant himself. The 36-year-old was at Fanatics Fest in New York when the news broke, and fans recorded his immediate reaction. He did an interview with Kay Adams from the event shortly after, stating that he "had an idea" about the trade but did not know the news would come out when it did. Advertisement He expressed relief that the constant trade rumors of the past few weeks could be put to rest. Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, another star player subject to trade rumors since the Bucks' postseason run ended, shared his shock in a two-word message on X. San Antonio Spurs guard Jeremy Sochan needed even fewer words, opting for a gif as he held back his opinion of Durant joining one of San Antonio's in-state rivals. The news breaking at Fanatics Fest led to live reactions from other people who were there and found out the news in person rather than social media. Sports stars like Tom Brady and LeBron James graced the event, mixing with big time social media influencers like Olivia Dunne and Kai Cenat. Advertisement NBA legend Allen Iverson had his gobsmacked reaction caught on camera. Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game last season. In his three seasons with the Suns, the team did not make it past the Western Conference semifinals. They missed the NBA playoffs completely in the 2024-2025 season.
