Steve announced his departure days after he finalized his divorce from Sheere Burton. The former couple settled their divorce in December, according to Us Weekly. Per previous documents filed, the exes noted that the divorce is uncontested, with Sheree asking the court to terminate forever spousal support to both parties.
Steve and Sheere share three kids together, Makena, Jack and Brooklyn. According to the publication, custody and visitation arrangements of the children have not changed.
Steve confirmed his split from Sheere via Instagram Story in May 2022. "I wanted to clear something up, Sheree and I are separated," he declared. "She recently announced that she's expecting her 4th 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."
