Former “General Hospital” star Steve Burton and his estranged wife, Sheree Burton, have finally settled their divorce after 23 years of marriage.

According to court records obtained by Us Weekly, the duo settled their divorce this month.

Steve, 53, and Sheree, 45, are splitting legal and physical custody of the kids Makena, 19, Jack, 17, and Brooklyn, 9, as they agreed to in previous court filings. Since the divorce is uncontested, Sheree reportedly asked the court to terminate forever spousal support to both parties.

The Post has contacted a rep for Steve for comment.

Steve revealed that he and the fitness instructor had separated in May 2022, claiming she had gotten pregnant by another man.

“I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated,” he wrote in an Instagram Story at the time. “She recently announced that she’s expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine.”
