Steele has been married to Elizabeth, fondly known as Libby, for a little over the year now, and they have remained by each others' side through some difficult moments.
Justin Steele proposed to his then girlfriend in 2022, just months before the birth of their son in July that ]year. The couple named their son Beau, who shares the same birthday as his father. Justin and Libby tied the knot in January last year in a lakefront ceremony at Three Lakes Manor and celebrated their first wedding anniversary earlier this year.
