While many people recognize the soap vet, Steve Burton, as the General Hospital star, the OG Y & R fans will definitely know him for his role in the show. Burton played the role of Dylan Mcvoy on Young and the Restless, from 2013 to 2017. From the very beginning the actor had managed to steal the hearts of many viewers, and when he made his exit, the fans still had hope of returning. While he has left the character behind, in real life, Burton is currently going through a hard time regarding his personal life.
After getting married in 1999, the 53 year old actor and his former wife, Sheree called it quits on their marriage back in 2022. Burton officially filed for divorce, in the Orange County Superior Court, on July 7, 2022 and according to People magazine, they did not sign a prenuptial agreement. In the documents, Steve mentioned March 1 as the official date of their separation, citing irreconcilable differences. In his filing, he was also seeking joint legal and physical custody of their children, Jack, Mackena, and Brooklyn. Right now, Burton and Sheree share two girls, 9 year old Brooklyn, and 20 year old Mackena, and their 17 year old son, Jack.
The news first broke out, when Burton took to his Instagram stories in May 2022, writing that he and his ex-wife were no longer together, and saying, “I wanted to clear something up. Sheree and I are separated…She recently announced that she’s expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine.” At the time, he also said they were still co-parenting their three beautiful kids, adding, ”We would appreciate privacy at this time. Much luv, Steve.”

Burton, who earned his second Daytime Emmy for portraying Y & R’s Dylan in 2017, is obligated to provide his ex-wife with $12,500 per month in child support, for their minor children until April 2024. After that date, the monthly amount will be reduced to $10,000. Both parties have also waived any entitlement to spousal support. The ex-spouses have mutually agreed to “release the other from any and all past, present and future claims for spousal support and/or maintenance.”

Back in October 2023, she also announced her 5th pregnancy. On her IG, she wrote, “If you would have told me I was going to have 5 kids with 2 of them being born in my 40s I would have laughed and said you were crazy, but God has a plan, and here I am, and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for my life, and the people in it.” She also said that from now on she is going to dial back the personal posts a bit, to protect her children, but will continue to be real and authentic, sharing bits of her” life that might help or encourage someone else.”
Lastly she also made it clear she was not taking the hate anymore, and wrote, “Hate and negativity have no place on my page. It will be blocked and deleted. Please be kind.” What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments below.
