“However, there is a little ulterior motive on the part of the boys: they want to dress her up and take pictures so they can help her join the dating apps.”

Steve, known as The Crocodile Hunter, died on September 4, 2006, at the age of 44, after a ray pierced his chest while filming a wildlife documentary called Ocean’s Deadliest in Queensland.
Terri has never dated or remarried since her husband’s death, despite rumors of affairs with the likes of Russell Crowe over the years.
Meanwhile, the Irwins have kept Steve’s memory alive through their conservation work at Australia Zoo.
‘Bindi and Robert have been trying to get Terri to update her appearance. She’s gorgeous underneath all that khaki and she deserves to show it off,” a source said.
The family’s newest tribute to Steve is the Crocodile Hunter Lodge, consisting of luxury cabins located within the zoo’s premises.
Stylish rooms offer guests modern comforts among the picturesque grounds, and the website lists cabins that sleep four at $949 per night.
The site is also home to a restaurant named ‘Warrior’ as a tribute to Bindi’s father and Terri’s late husband Steve and granddaughter Grace Warrior.
In a recent video posted to Instagram Stories, Robert revealed that some of the wood used in the buildings was repurposed from the alligator bleachers originally built by Steve.
“So a lot of the lodge is hand built by dad,” Robert said in the clip.
The source explained: ‘They know they will never find another like their father, there is no such man. They just want his mother to know that happiness again’
He went on to say that the three trees out front were also ‘originally planted by Dad’ and that the spot was Steve’s dream.
Terri also appeared in the video and explained that Steve always had a dream that visitors could have an immersive experience.
“Steve always had a dream that one day people would not only be able to visit Australia Zoo, but also spend the night there. He lives the immersive experience,” he said.
“It was very important to us to make their dreams come true with a beautiful luxury accommodation surrounded by our conservation work for which we are known.”
