Steve Burton's wedding bliss bubble appears to have been interrupted.
Less than two weeks after the General Hospital star wed again to now-wife Michelle Lundstrom, he has been thrust into a messy legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin.
The former couple were married for 23 years, and are parents to daughter Makena Grace, 21, son Jack Marshall, 19, and a third daughter, Brooklyn, who is ten.

"In the past few months, [Steve] has started to message me and accuse me of parental alienation if he cannot get ahold of Brooklyn," Sheree claimed, adding that his messages come "almost daily" and further claiming that they "are harassing."
In a statement denying the allegations, Steve's lawyer Sarah C. Clark told Us Weekly: "Steve maintains that Sheree's allegations are categorically false. He has, and will continue to, act in the best interests of the parties' daughter, Brooklyn, which includes ensuring there is frequent and continuing contact with both parents."

Additional documents obtained by Us Weekly also include alleged texts between Sheree and Steve, who claimed: "Early on in my relationship with Michelle, Sheree began to refuse to call Michelle by her name and instead referred to her as 'the girl' in an effort to downplay her role in my life."

"You and I know this is about optics to you. You guys have seen Brooklyn maybe a month total this entire year. I don't [plaster] her face all over social media," she further claimed in the alleged text, adding: "I don't want her on social media like that."

If you’re not going to see Brooklyn then I will be picking her up," another alleged text read, of which Steve said in his filing: "Dictating who can pick Brooklyn up for my custodial time and only allowing me to exercise custody if I personally pick her up is highly unreasonably and demonstrated the control Sheree is attempting to assume during my custodial time."
Sheree's fourth child, daughter Izabella, was born in August 2022, one month after Steve filed for divorce, and her fifth, daughter Addy Jay, was born in February of 2024, just weeks after the divorce between the former couple was finalized. In February 2025, she married the girls' father, Jason Amador.
