Terri Irwin has paid an emotional tribute to Steve Irwin on their 32nd wedding anniversary. The 59-year-old conservationist has remembered her late Crocodile Hunter husband - who tragically died aged 44 in 2006 after being pierced in the chest by the barb of a short-tail stingray - in a sweet post reflecting on their time together after meeting in 1991 and getting married the following year. Alongside an old publicity shot of them together cuddling a baby kangaroo, she wrote on Instagram: “It was 32 years ago today that Steve and I said ‘I do’ and began the adventure of a lifetime!” The couple first met in 1991 when Terri was on a tour of Australia, as she visited wildlife rehabilitation facilities.
A post shared by Terri Irwin (@terriirwincrikey) She happened to meet Steve, whose father founded Australia Zoo, and they got engaged four months later. They tied the knot on June 4, 1992 in Terri’s home state of Oregon in the US before moving back to Australia. They were married for 14 years before Steve’s death, and together they had daughter Bindi, 25, and son Robert, 20.
Meanwhile, Steve’s family recently opened up on how much Bindi’s 3-year-old daughter Grace reminds them of him. Speaking at the annual Steve Irwin Gala, Terri said: “Watching Grace is like watching Steve, because Steve never stopped being 3 years old. “He had that wonder of nature and discovery and curiosity every single day.
“And to see that in Grace, I want to nurture that and make sure.
