Soap opera icon Steve Burton has officially tied the knot with chef and content creator Michelle Lundstrom, and fans couldn’t be happier for the couple. The longtime General Hospital star said “I do” in an intimate ceremony in Laguna Beach, California, on a sunny Saturday filled with love, joy, and fresh beginnings.
From the outside, it looked like the kind of day you’d see in a movie. But for Steve and Michelle, it was real life — a brand-new chapter they’ve both been dreaming about.
Love Found Its Way Back
For those who’ve followed Steve Burton’s journey, you know it’s been an emotional ride over the past few years. After separating from his longtime wife Sheree in 2022, Steve focused on family and co-parenting their three children: Makena, Brooklyn, and Jack. At the time, he kept it real with fans, sharing on social media that Sheree was expecting a child that wasn’t his but promising they’d continue being great parents together.
That honesty and openness have always been part of who Steve is, both on-screen and off. And now, he’s found someone who matches his heart — and his sense of hope for what love can be.
Michelle Lundstrom, a talented chef and content creator known for her appearance on Barbecue Showdown Season 2, stole his heart. The couple confirmed their romance just eight months ago and got engaged in January. This weekend, they made it official.
“The Beginning of Forever”
Speaking to PEOPLE about their big day, Steve said, “This day isn’t just about a ceremony. It’s the beginning of forever with the love of my life.” Michelle echoed that warmth, sharing, “To have the most incredible man I’ve ever known by my side forever brings me so much peace and happiness.”
Their wedding took place at an Orthodox church and included close friends and former General Hospital costars. Jonathan Jackson and Lisa Vultaggio, a couple both on-screen and in real life, were among the attendees. It was clear that this wasn’t just a celebrity event — it was a heartfelt gathering filled with people who truly love the couple.
Even the GH glam squad joined in, with beloved makeup artists Anzhela and Luiza Adzhiyan helping Michelle get ready for her big walk down the aisle. It was the kind of celebration that felt deeply personal.
Catch Up with Steve’s Career
Steve Burton has been a fan favorite since the early 90s, famously playing Jason Morgan on General Hospital. While he briefly took on the role of Drew Cain, Jason’s identical twin, from 2017 to 2019, it’s Jason that fans hold close to their hearts.
His exit from GH in 2021 came with controversy over vaccine mandates, but Steve didn’t stay away from daytime TV for long. He made a return to Days of Our Lives, where his career began back in 1988, before stepping back into GH again in 2024.
While his career had its ups and downs, Steve’s love life now seems more grounded than ever. He’s found a true partner in Michelle — someone who shares his values, lifts him up, and stands beside him in faith and love.
