Did Russell Crowe date Terri Irwin?
As a longtime supporter of Australia Zoo and a friend of the Irwin family, the Oscar-winning actor, Russell, developed a strong bond with matriarch Terri Irwin, leading to decades of unfounded romance rumors that she vehemently denies. In 2021, Terri, aged 58, publicly expressed her gratitude to Russell for his generous donation to Australia Zoo, which contributed to the rescue of an ailing kookaburra named Archie.
‘Terri is one of the greatest women I've ever met in my life’
In the previous year, Russell Crowe bestowed a fig tree upon Bindi Irwin and her husband, Chandler Powell, as a thoughtful wedding gift. Due to distance, the couple celebrated Russell's 56th birthday in April 2020 by embracing the tree in a heartwarming Instagram photo since they were unable to meet in person.
In 2021, Terri Irwin firmly denied any romantic involvement with Russell, affirming that she was "very, very single." Terri expressed, "In all honesty, he (Russell) and Steve became friends many years ago, and after Steve passed, you find out who your true friends are. And Russell has been very loyal as a great friend," speaking to Access Hollywood in 2017.
Terri, a mother of two, has not publicly dated anyone since the tragic death of her husband, Steve, in a stingray accident in 2006 when he was 44 years old. Despite persistent rumors of a romantic relationship between Russell and Terri, the actor has also expressed admiration for Terri in the past, "Terri is one of the greatest women I've ever met in my life, without there being the implication of intimacy or whatever." Currently, Russell is in a relationship with his former actress girlfriend, Britney Theriot, who is 32 years old.
