Gustin, 46, took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday to announce that she had welcomed a baby girl named Addy Jay on Friday, February 16. She also revealed that her daughter weighed 5 lbs., 5 oz at birth.

Though Gustin did not share the identity of her partner, she appeared to give a glimpse of him in one of the hospital photos. 

Sheree revealed she was expecting baby number five in October, but has not mentioned who the father of her last two children is. 

Soap Opera star Burton, 53, announced that his wife was having a fourth child that was not his in May of 2022, followed by the announcement of their divorce after 20 years of marriage.

Gustin posted three photos to her social media showing off the newest member of her family.

In one black and white snap the proud new mom held the little one close to her chest, as they bonded skin-to-skin.

Another photo showed Gustin in her hospital cap and gown holding hands with a mystery man, who was pictured also holding the baby with his other arm.

Gustin flashed a bright smile as she watched the heart melting moment, which seemed to show a glimpse of her new partner. 

The last snap simply featured her daughter wrapped up in a baby blanket and wearing a pink hat, with Sheree proudly announcing her name, date of birth, and weight in a text overlay.

At the end of December it was announced that Burton and Gustin had finalized their divorce, nearly two years after their messy public split, according to court records obtained by Us Weekly.

The documents indicated that the divorce was settled earlier in December.

The drama from Burton's regular gig seemed to have spilled over into his own life when he announced that his wife was having a child with a different man.

'I wanted to clear something up,' Burton said. 'Sheree and I are separated. She recently announced that she’s expecting her fourth child. The child is not mine. We are still co-parenting our three beautiful kids. We would appreciate privacy at this time. Much luv, Steve.'

'Sheree and I are separated. She recently announced that she¿s expecting her fourth child. The child is not mine,' Burton wrote on his Instagram at the time

'Sheree and I are separated. She recently announced that she’s expecting her fourth child. The child is not mine,' Burton wrote on his Instagram at the time 

The shocking revelation came six months after the television star was fired from General Hospital after refusing to get a Covid-19 vaccination, which he claimed he wouldn't do due to his support for 'personal freedom.' He has since returned to the show. 

In the filings, the former spouses noted that their divorce is uncontested.

Sheree has also asked the judge overseeing the divorce to permanently terminate any spousal support for both her and Burton.

The actor had previously filed for joint custody of the three children they share, and custody and visitation of Makena, 19, Jack, 17, and Brooklyn, eight, will not change now that the divorce is finalized.

In his original divorce filing, Burton claimed that he and his ex had separated in March of 2022, and he cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split.

Unlike her performer husband, Sheree has kept a low profile since the separation, and she doesn't appear to have ever publicly discussed their split or divorce.

She gave birth in February to her fourth child, a daughter named Izabella.

Back in October, she joked that she would have 'laughed and said you were crazy' if someone had told her she would end up having five children, with two of them born when she was well into her 40s.

The same month that Burton revealed their separation, a source told People that he and Gustin had been in the 'coasting stage' of their marriage 'for a while.'

The insider indicated that his choice not to comply with the Covid-19 vaccine mandate on the set of General Hospital contributed to their eventual split.

'Their lives were changed when he went through some upheaval and anger over what he considered his freedoms being in jeopardy,' they shared diplomatically. 'He had to leave a show that he loved, which caused chaos in his life.'

They added that his actions left Sheree 'unhappy,' and she started looking for 'something more.'
