Steve Irwin, one of the finest environmentalists in history, passed away over 19 years ago.
Steve has a deep affection for all creatures. He always spoke of nature with great enthusiasm and introduced several species to the general audience. Furthermore, he instilled that love in his kids, who are carrying on their father’s tradition.
Steve died in 2006 while filming at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. A stingray stabbed him in the chest.
He was struggling to breathe. Steve’s close friend and underwater cameraman Justin Lyon told Australia’s Network Ten television that even if we had been able to get him into an emergency ward at that time, we probably wouldn’t have been able to rescue him because of the severe damage to his heart.
I’m yelling at one of the other crew members to cover the wound as we’re speeding back, and we’re telling him things like, ‘Think of your kids, Steve, hang on, hang on, hang on.'” “I’m dying,” he remarked, looking up at me with a calm demeanour. And it was his final statement.
Many people still miss the Crocodile Hunter celebrity, particularly his wife Terri Irwin and his kids Robert and Bindi.
After meeting in 1991, Steve and Terri were wed for 14 years. During his show, he once revealed that he knew Terri was the one the instant he lay eyes on her. It was “love at first sight,” according to Steve.
Terri has done everything she can to preserve Steve’s legacy since his untimely death. She has frequently acknowledged that she still misses her husband over the years.
Terri acknowledged that she is still unmarried in an April 2025 interview with Stellar Magazine.
“I think I still have a lot of love in my life, but I did find my happily ever after, even though I’m sure there are many wonderful people in the world.”
“So I’m lonely for Steve, but I’m not lonely,” she said. Being alone and not in a relationship is something I never lament. I believe we should express that.
“Even if you never get married, have four children, two children, or none at all,” Terri said, “I think women are still amazing, fulfilled, incredible people.”
“There aren’t any rules.”
Actor Russell Crowe and Terri Irwin were rumoured to be dating in the past.
She disputed it, though, saying the celebrated actor was a close family friend.
Since Steve died away, you discover who your true friends are. To be honest, he and Steve were friends many years ago. She told Access Hollywood, “And Russell has been a great friend and very loyal.”
