Terri Irwin opens up in rare interview about her love life after Steve
It’s been 12 years since Aussie icon Steve Irwin was killed in a freak accident, but the Crocodile Hunter’s wife is still in no rush to get back out onto the dating scene.
In a new interview with People magazine, the 53-year-old admitted she hasn’t been on one date since Steve’s death, explaining, “I’ve already had my happily ever after.”
The mum-of-two added, “I think it’s wonderful when people who have lost someone find love again, but I’m not personally looking.
“In fact, it’s been so long, I’ve had a couple of lovely women ask me out because they figured that’s the case. But I’m content. I have two beautiful kids, a really full plate.”
But it hasn’t been easy for Terri, and her children Bindi and Robert.
“No matter the circumstances are that you lose someone, nobody’s truly prepared,” Terri explained. “Steve’s accident was so unexpected, it was extremely challenging.”
And although she misses him every day, Terri says the family is now focused on carrying on his legacy.
“Steve was someone who was larger than life and really did live life to the fullest,” she says.
“Even though he died at 44, years of age he lived such a full life and that’s what I want to do and share.”
