"Steve Burton Leaves 'Days of Our Lives' Amidst Personal Upheaval Post-Divorce"

Steve Burton has announced his departure from "Days of Our Lives" after a year with the show, marking another professional change following his exit from "General Hospital" over a vaccine mandate. Burton has also been in the news for his personal life, as he separated from his wife Sheree Gustin after she became pregnant with a child that is not his. The couple, who have three children together, finalized their divorce in December 2023, agreeing to joint custody and child support arrangements, with no spousal support but a one-time payment plan for Gustin. Burton retains their three Tennessee properties.
