In a long-awaited development, soap opera actor Steve Burton has officially ended his marriage to his estranged wife, Sheree Gustin, after almost two years since their highly publicized split. The divorce was officially settled earlier this month and court filings indicate that it was uncontested.
In an interesting turn of events, Sheree has requested that any spousal support for both her and Burton be permanently terminated. This decision adds a new dimension to their separation and indicates a desire for a clean break between the two parties.
Despite their divorce, the custody and visitation arrangement for their three children will remain unchanged. This decision reflects the couple’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being of their children amidst the tumultuous period of their separation and divorce.
Burton initially announced the separation back in May 2022 when he shocked fans by revealing that his wife was expecting a fourth child with another man. Since the separation, Sheree has given birth to their fourth child, a daughter named Izabella, and is currently 30 weeks pregnant with her fifth child. The news of the children adds an emotional layer to the already complex situation.
Reports suggest that the couple had been experiencing difficulties in their marriage for quite some time, with Burton’s refusal to comply with the Covid-19 vaccine mandate on the set of General Hospital being a contributing factor to their eventual separation. This disagreement highlights the challenges faced by couples during the pandemic and how it can strain relationships in unexpected ways.
As for Burton, he had been an integral part of the soap opera General Hospital since 1991, playing the beloved character Jason Morgan. However, viewers were taken aback when the character appeared to be killed off in 2021. This transition in his professional life likely added further strain to the couple’s marriage, as Burton faced uncertainty and potential career changes.
The couple originally tied the knot in 1999, and their split has been marked by intense drama and public attention. Fans and followers of their story have been captivated by the ups and downs of their relationship, making it a topic of widespread interest in tabloids and entertainment news.
With their divorce finally settled, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Steve Burton and Sheree Gustin. Their journey has been one of turbulence and public scrutiny, but it is hoped that both parties can now find peace and move forward in their respective lives.
