Terri Irwin, Steve Irwin’s Wife, Revealed a Dark Secret Her Husband Once Disclosed to Her 12 Years After His Death
It’s hard to believe it’s been 16 years since we lost Steve Irwin.
The zookeeper transformed how the world viewed hazardous animals. He was a pioneer in his field, and the world lost a truly decent human being when he died at the age of 44 while doing what he loved.
Now, more than a decade later, his wife Terri Irwin has opened up about something Steve once told her that may surprise some…
Terri recently agreed to an interview with the Australian television show “Anh’s Brush With Fame,” where the conversation took an unexpected turn.
Terri responded to the interviewer’s question about Steve’s sudden death, saying, “He never thought he’d have a long life.” He always felt that his life would be cut short.”
Unfortunately, Steve’s prediction was correct. The popular TV personality was killed by a stingray barb while filming “Ocean’s Deadliest” in Queensland, Australia.
Terri was told to contact her zoo manager after the incident. She recalls the moment she learned her husband had died.
“I just remember this incredible sense of responsibility, this overwhelming sense of grief, but ‘what do I do now?’ I sort of gathered my thoughts and then had to go out to the car and inform Bindi and Robert… which was quite difficult.”
Terri acknowledges that as word of Steve’s death spread, she was taken aback by the outpouring of love.
“No one would’ve been more surprised than Steve at the outpouring of grief and love,” she said.
Steve never knew the term “famous.” I liked that about him because he was never pretentious or self-important, and we put all we made for wildlife and still do back into conservation, which I’m very proud of.”
When news of Steve’s death spread, media outlets quickly distributed it around the world. Millions of people were left to mourn the national treasure, known for his unwavering dedication to promoting animal education and awareness.
We may have moved on, but we will never forget Steve Irwin.
