Following his passing in 2006, Steve Irwin, known as “The Crocodile Hunter,” continues to have a significant impact worldwide.

It’s been nearly 12 years since the tragic incident, which shocked many due to his relatively young age at the time.

In a recent interview on the Australian television show “Anh’s Brush With Fame,” Terri Irwin candidly discussed Steve Irwin’s death.

Despite appearing to promote her anti-culling campaign, the conversation swiftly turned to her late husband.

Terri reassured his followers that Steve would not have been surprised, as he never anticipated a long life and had a sense that his time would be cut short.

Unfortunately, Steve’s premonition came true when a stingray fatally pierced his chest while filming “Ocean’s Deadliest” in Queensland, Australia.

Terri received the devastating news and had to gather her thoughts before breaking it to their children, Bindi and Robert, which was incredibly difficult.

Recalling the last time she saw her husband, Terri tearfully remembered his wave goodbye at the airport as she and the kids departed for Tasmania.

Reflecting on her ongoing grief, Terri admitted that it evolves over time but remains a constant presence in her life.

Despite missing Steve every day, she feels fortunate to have lived her “happily ever after” alongside the nature enthusiast.

Steve’s unexpected passing prompted an overwhelming display of love and grief from people worldwide. Despite his fame, Terri admired Steve’s humility and dedication to animal conservation, which remains a source of pride.

While Steve may no longer be with them, his legacy lives on through Terri and their nature-loving children, who continue to carry forward his remarkable work.
