Great news for General Hospital fans—Steve Burton, the beloved actor known for his portrayal of Jason Morgan, has kicked off the new year with some incredibly exciting personal news.

Burton recently took to Instagram to announce that he is officially engaged! His post was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and

fellow soap opera stars alike, adding to the joy of the occasion. Burton, who has been a fixture in the soap opera world since 1991, is best known for his iconic role as Jason Morgan

on General Hospital. He’s also made appearances on Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless, along with engaging in other ventures such as hosting the Daily Drama podcast alongside his General Hospital co-star, Bradford Anderson. His popularity extends beyond his acting career, and now he’s sharing some thrilling personal news with his followers.

In the heartfelt Instagram post, Burton revealed that he had gotten engaged to Michelle Lundstrom. Lundstrom is no stranger to the spotlight herself—she appeared on Netflix’s BBQ Showdown cooking competition and has built a following as a food influencer, where she shares recipes with her online audience. The post, which was shared by both Burton and Lundstrom, included a slideshow of the happy couple together, with one special caption marking the engagement date as January 3, 2025.

The caption included an inspiring quote from the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” This heartfelt message captured the essence of the couple’s excitement as they shared this special moment with their followers.

Burton’s fellow soap opera stars didn’t waste any time in congratulating him on this wonderful milestone. Lauralee Bell, who plays Christine Blair on The Young and the Restless, shared her well wishes with heart emojis, while General Hospital star Cameron Mathison, who portrays Drew Cain, also celebrated the happy news. The love continued with a more personal touch from Rick Hearst, known for playing Ric Lansing on General Hospital, who wrote, “Steve and Michelle, I wish you both a long, loving, and fruitful life together! Congratulations.” Another heartfelt message came from Finola Hughes, who has portrayed Anna Devane on General Hospital and All My Children. She wrote, “Oh Steve!!!! Congratulations! I wish you both all the happiness in the future, you are a wonderful couple! Congratulations Michelle!”

Burton had already shared the news of his relationship with Lundstrom back in May 2024, when it was revealed that the two were officially together. At the time, Daily Drama confirmed Burton’s relationship, noting that he was “off the market” and in a happy relationship with the BBQ Showdown star. Fans have been eagerly following their journey, and now the couple’s engagement has added even more joy to their story.
