Terri Irwin says she chooses to remain single because no man will ever measure up to her late husband Steve Irwin: ‘I got my happily ever after’
Terri Irwin has opened up about whether she will date again after tragically losing her husband Steve Irwin in 2006.
Terri, 59, insisted she has no plans to re-enter the dating market as she affectionately described her relationship with her late husband as her ‘happily ever after’.
“I have a happily ever after,” the American-Australian conservationist said We weekly earlier this month before attending the Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas.
She said no man can compare to the late Crocodile Hunter, who died aged 44 in Queensland after a stingray stuck its barb in his chest.
“While there are a lot of great men in the world, can you see another Steve Irwin? I just can’t do it,” Terri said.

“I’d say, ‘I love that you’re a librarian and the Dewey Decimal System is cool, but I have to jump on a gator and do that.’ Forget that,” she added.
Terri was married to zookeeper Steve for 14 years before his tragic death in September 2006 and they share two children, daughter Bindi, 25, and son Robert, 20.
His two children, who work with Terri at the Australia Zoo, stepped out in Las Vegas earlier this month to honor their late father at a charity gala.
On May 11, they headed to the Bellagio Resort & Casino with their mother to attend the Steve Irwin Gala in support of the conservation organization Wildlife Warriors.
The money raised from the fundraiser will help extend Steve’s “conservation work worldwide,” according to the family’s website.

The exclusive event included a ‘khaki deck’ ballroom, a live auction and ‘roaming animals’.
The dress code was ‘black tie’ with a ‘touch of khaki’ and guests were treated to a three-course meal.
The Aussie family has decided to raise awareness for conservation and continue Steve’s legacy.
Steve was killed when he was struck by a stingray at Batt Reef near Port Douglas in far north Queensland on September 4, 2006.
The tragic news sent shockwaves across Australia and the rest of the world as his fans mourned the tragic loss.
