Fired General Hospital actor Steve Burton finalizes divorce two years after shock split from wife Sheree Gustin… after revealing she was having ANOTHER person’s baby

• Burton and Gustin agreed to permanently forego spousal support
• Their custody of the three children they share will be unchanged
• Friction between them reportedly heated up after his firing over Covid mandates

The soap opera actor Steve Burton has reached the end of the road on his long divorce journey.

The 53-year-old former General Hospital star has finalized his divorce from his estranged wife Sheree Gustin, 45, nearly two years after their messy public split, according to court records obtained by Us Weekly.

The drama from Burton’s regular gig seemed to have spilled over into his own life when he announced that his wife was having a fourth child that was not his in May of 2022.

The shocking revelation came six months after the television star was fired from General Hospital after refusing to get a Covid-19 vaccination, which he claimed he wouldn’t do due to his support for ‘personal freedom.’ 

The documents indicated that the divorce was settled earlier in December.

In the filings, the former spouses noted that their divorce is uncontested.

Sheree has also asked the judge overseeing the divorce to permanently terminate any spousal support for both her and Burton.

The actor had previously filed for joint custody of the three children they share, and custody and visitation of Makena, Jack and Brooklyn will not change now that the divorce is finalized.

In his original divorce filing, Burton claimed that he and his ex had separated in March of 2022, and he cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for their split.

Unlike her performer husband, Sheree has kept a low profile since the separation, and she doesn’t appear to have ever publicly discussed their split or divorce.

She gave birth in February to her fourth child, a daughter named Izabella.

Sheree is now 30 weeks along with her fifth child, but she has not revealed its father, or clarified if it has the same father as her previous child.

Back in October, she joked that she would have ‘laughed and said you were crazy’ if someone had told her she would end up having five children, with two of them born when she was well into her 40s.

The same month that Burton revealed their separation, a source told People that he and Gustin had been in the ‘coasting stage’ of their marriage ‘for a while.’

The insider indicated that his choice not to comply with the Covid-19 vaccine mandate on the set of General Hospital contributed to their eventual split.

‘Their lives were changed when he went through some upheaval and anger over what he considered his freedoms being in jeopardy,’ they shared diplomatically. ‘He had to leave a show that he loved, which caused chaos in his life.’

They added that his actions left Sheree ‘unhappy,’ and she started looking for ‘something more.’

The couple originally tied the knot in 1999.

Steve had played the character Jason Morgan on and off on General Hospital going back to 1991, but the character appeared to be killed in 2021 when a tunnel collapsed on him.
