AceShowbiz - Wedding bells are set to ring for "General Hospital" star Steve Burton as he recently announced his engagement to girlfriend Michelle Lundstrom. On January 4, Burton took to Instagram to share the joyous news, accompanied by a series of heartfelt photos capturing the moment he got down on one knee.

"Engaged 1/3/25. ❤️💍♾️," the 54-year-old actor wrote alongside the slideshow, soundtracked by Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love." Burton also shared a quote from Jeremiah 29:11, emphasizing his hopeful outlook on the future.

Lundstrom, 43, is a cook and content creator who gained recognition by competing on Season 2 of Netflix's "Barbecue Showdown".

The couple chose to keep their relationship fairly private until Burton confirmed they were dating in May 2024. Their romance quickly became a fan favorite as they made their red carpet debut at the Daytime Emmy Awards a month later.
