“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, We are still coparenting our three beautiful kids. We would appreciate privacy at this time. Much luv, Steve.”
Following the divorce, Gustin welcomed her fourth child, a daughter named Izabella, in February 2023, and later gave birth to a fifth daughter, Addy, in February 2024.
