Burton shared a photo of them embracing on his Instagram Story.
“When you find someone who feels like home. Unpack,” he wrote.
It seems the couple have been dating for a few months but have managed to keep their romance under the radar.
They stepped out together at the Daytime Emmy Awards in June, with the Barbecue Showdown 2 contestant sharing some photos of their “first red carpet together” on Instagram.
“Our first red carpet together,” she gushed in the caption. “It was a dream of a night from beginning to end. Thank you for all the beautiful kind comments + messages. I’m truly grateful [heart and prayer emoji] (sic)”
Later that month, Lundstrom, 43, shared a reel of her favourite times with Burton in honour of the soap star’s 54th birthday.
“Happiest birthday my love @1steveburton,” she wrote. “It’s a better place with you in this world. Anyone that has you in their life in any capacity is truly blessed.
“I think I’ll forever be in awe of what an incredible man and human you are. Thank you for wearing the largest fanny pack in Disney + sharing your beautiful life alongside mine. Wishing you a million more special memories smiles, you deserve it all!”

Burton and Gustin, who have Mackena, 20, Jack, 18, and 10-year-old Brooklyn together, finalized their divorce in December 2023.
They agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their younger children, with Burton agreeing to pay Gustin $12,500 a month in child support, which works out as $10,000 for Brooklyn — until she turns 18 — and $2,500 for Jack.
In April, Burton’s payments were reduced to $10,000 a month after Jack turned 18.
The former couple waived their right to spousal support “now or at any time in the future, regardless of the unforeseen circumstances that may exist in the future.”
But Burton is paying Gustin $50,000, in $2,500 per month instalments, as retroactive support.
The marriage cratered after Burton found out that his now ex-wife got pregnant by another man.
In May 2022, Burton shared an update about the couple to his followers on Instagram Stories.
“I wanted to clear something up,” he wrote, according to Page Six. “Sheree and I are separated. She recently announced that she’s expecting her 4th child. The child is not mine.”
They married in January 1999.
