Terri Irwin speaks out on dating rumours after being linked to Hollywood actor following husband Steve Irwin’s death

When it comes to her personal life, Terri has often kept things relatively private

Terri Irwin has spoken out about dating rumours after being linked to a famous Hollywood actor, having been bluntly asked about who’s she’s sleeping with in an interview.

Terri, 59, is the widow of late Steve ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin, who tragically died in 2006 after a stingray barb pierced his chest while filming a documentary.

As the owner of Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland, his wife has publicly continued his legacy in animal conservation, alongside their two kids Bindi and Robert.

When it comes to her personal life, however, Terri has chosen to keep things relatively private – not that that’s stopped rumours from circling about whether or not she’s dating anyone.

Back in 2017, she told Access Hollywood that she hadn’t been with anyone for a decade, saying it all boiled down to her connection with Steve.

“I haven’t dated anyone in the ten years since we lost Steve just because I feel a connection still with Steve,” Terri explained.

“You know when you take those vows, and say ‘we’ll be together as long as we both shall live,’ I really don’t think I would’ve married if I hadn’t met Steve.”

She added: “And he’s very special to me and continues to be. And I’ve got beautiful kids and a lot of wonderful conservation work, so, I’m lonely for Steve but I’m not a lonely person.”

More recently, Terri has been linked to a number of people, but none of these supposed relationships have ever been confirmed.

The animal lover and television personality recently addressed such speculation when she appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O Show on KIIS FM alongside son Robert, 20.

“Who are you having sex with?” host Kyle Sandilands asked her abruptly.

Kyle then asked specifically about Aussie A-lister Russell Crowe, to which Terri responded diplomatically: “I have a lot of quiet evenings with a nice, big, juicy pizza.”

Robert then jumped in to save his mum, joking: “Mum has been linked to something like 30 people”.

“I mean, it was King Charles, it was Russell, it was everyone. It’s all absolute nonsense mate!”

Russell has previously spoken out on their friendship himself, having implied their bond was a platonic one.

He told Newscorp: "I was great friends with Steve and his wife and his kids are really important to me. They're beautiful people.

"Terri is one of the greatest women I've ever met in my life, without there being implication of intimacy or whatever.

"You know I do love Terri Irwin, I love her kids and I love how she's kept the memory of Steve alive, and respected the work that the two of them had begun and she's an absolute champion."
