Burton and Gustin finalized their divorce in December 2023, agreeing to share joint legal and physical custody of their minor children. Per settlement details, Burton agreed to pay Gustin $12,500 per month in child support through April 2024, after which payments dropped to $10,000 monthly.<\/p>\n

Their New Relationships<\/h2>\n

Gustin welcomed daughter Izabella with new partner Jason Amador in February 2023, followed by another daughter, Addy. Sheree and Amador tied the knot in February 2025.<\/p>\n

Burton, meanwhile, married Michelle Lundstrom in May 2025.<\/p>\n

Inside the Custody Battle<\/h2>\n

According to Burton\u2019s filings, Gustin convinced him to move to Tennessee post-divorce, then relocated back to California herself. He followed to be near Brooklyn and claimed Gustin refused to coordinate a coparenting schedule.<\/p>\n

In a May 2025 filing, Burton alleged Gustin was \u201cgatekeeping\u201d Brooklyn because of his relationship with Lundstrom. \u201c<\/p>\n

Early on in my relationship with Michelle, Sheree began to refuse to call Michelle by her name and instead referred to her as \u2018the girl\u2019 in an effort to downplay her role in my life,\u201d he wrote. \u201cSheree has seemingly forgotten how our family ended up in this situation. It was Sheree who had an extramarital affair, became pregnant with another man\u2019s child and immediately moved him into her home after our separation, without informing me she would be doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n
