Just over two months since announcing their engagement, “General Hospital” star Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and former “Barbecue Showdown” contestant Michelle Lundstrom have officially moved in together, with Lundstrom announcing she has moved her things across the country to their home in California’s Orange County.
“I’m walking on sunshine no matter how many boxes are left to unpack,” said Lundstrom on Instagram. “Thank you for all the well wishes on our move to California! My @traegergrills are unloaded and ready to rock. NEW weeknight meal recipe coming real sooooon! Expect lots of #highproteinrecipes too! Sending so much love.”
Lundstrom’s post included several photos from their new digs, including her prized Traeger-branded grill, a hot tub, plenty of greenery, a view of the Pacific Ocean, and clear blue skies.
On January 3, 2025, Burton officially proposed to Lundstrom, announcing the news the next day on Instagram. In the post caption, he paraphrased the bible verse Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “‘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.’”
Burton formally announced he and Lundstrom were dating in May 2024, according to a post by Daily Drama. While it’s unclear when they became official, the couple made their first public outing as a couple on June 7, 2024 during “The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.”
“Our first red carpet together. It was a dream of a night from beginning to end. Thank you for all the beautiful kind comments & messages. I’m truly grateful,” Lundstrom captioned in an Instagram post at the time.
Lundstrom is best known as a contestant during the second season of Netflix’s Barbecue Showdown” (formerly “The American Barbecue Showdown”). The food competition series followed the best backyard smokers and competitive barbecuers competing for the title of American Barbecue Champion. Season 2 concluded in May 2023.
While she didn’t win the competition, having been eliminated during the season’s sixth episode (out of eight), Lundstrom made a memorable impression on the judges and viewers at home.
