Of their decision to marry so quickly after the engagement, the couple said they simply “didn’t want to wait”.

Prior to finding his love, Burton was previously married to Sheree Gustin for 23 years.

He made the shock announcement that they had split in May 2022 in a post shared to social media.

Fans initially believed Gustin was expecting her fourth child with Burton, which the actor quickly dismissed.

“We would appreciate privacy at this time. Much luv, Steve.”

The divorce was finalised in December 2023, and five months later in May 2024 Burton debuted his relationship with Lundstrom.
