General Hospital fans know Jason Morgan doesn’t get many happy endings. But off-screen? Steve Burton just got his. On May 17, Burton tied the knot with chef and content creator Michelle Lundstrom in a heartfelt ceremony followed by a beachside celebration.
A Private Vow Turned into a Public Fairytale
Burton and Lundstrom exchanged vows in an intimate Orthodox church service. Only close family attended the emotional moment. Later, 45 guests joined the couple for a romantic reception at Montage Laguna Beach. Friends from General Hospital also showed up to celebrate the actor’s big day.
The couple’s first dance was unforgettable. They swayed to “I Choose You” by Forest Blakk, perfectly setting the tone. With ocean views, soft candlelight, and blush-toned florals, the entire evening felt magical. Guests were treated to a dreamy dinner and a vanilla sponge cake with fresh berries—Burton’s compromise after his initial “grocery store cake” request!
Blending families was a big part of the celebration. Lundstrom’s daughters, Lilah and Hannah, joined Burton’s children—Makena, Jack, and Brooklyn—in the wedding party. Everyone wore matching attire, symbolizing their new union.
GH co-star Jonathan Jackson and his wife Lisa Vultaggio also stood beside the couple. That alone made the wedding feel like a true soap reunion. Burton’s best friend, Jeremy Ross, served as his best man. Lundstrom’s sister, Janine, was her maid of honor. The couple even curated the music to reflect their shared love of ‘80s nostalgia. During the cocktail hour and reception, everything from retro ballads to Forest Blakk’s modern tune played on.
From Secret Romance to Social Media Love
Their love story began like a modern fairytale. Burton and Lundstrom met on social media, slowly building a friendship before sparks flew. They kept things private until May 2024 when Burton revealed their relationship on his Daily Dramapodcast.
The couple walked the red carpet at the 2024 Daytime Emmys, confirming their love to the world. From Disneyland to NYC getaways, they continued sharing snippets online, giving fans glimpses into their real-life romance.
Their January engagement was just as magical. Burton proposed at a Nashville farm with lights, rose petals, and a private chapel dance. Their kids and closest friends joined them later for a cozy dinner.
A New Chapter After a Stormy Past For General Hospital Star
This love story comes after a rocky personal chapter. In 2022, Burton confirmed his separation from ex-wife Sheree Gustin. The news came with a twist—Gustin was expecting a baby that wasn’t his. Their divorce was finalized in late 2023. Despite the drama, Burton didn’t let heartbreak stop him. With Lundstrom, he says he’s finally found peace and unconditional love. The chef gushes that she’s never felt safer and calls Burton her sunshine.
Burton agrees, saying Michelle makes him a better man. They’re now honeymooning in Hawaii, savoring their first days as husband and wife. For General Hospital fans, this real-life love story is a refreshing dose of joy. It’s proof that even after heartbreak, second chances can be magical.
