Terri’s Timeless Reflection on Love and Legacy
Terri Irwin has never shied away from honoring her late husband’s memory, and this latest tribute is no exception. Fans were quick to express their admiration for the conservationist’s enduring dedication to keeping Steve’s legacy alive. One commenter wrote, “Yes, constant change and yes, love is forever. The world misses Steve and we thank you and your children for keeping his memory alive with the work you do.” Another chimed in, saying, “What an awesome person you found and such a beautiful person he found!

A Life Together: From Proposal to Family
Terri and Steve tied the knot in 1996, beginning a life filled with love, adventure, and conservation efforts. Together, they welcomed two children into their family—daughter Bindi, now 21, and son Robert, 16. Tragically, Steve’s life was cut short in 2006 after a devastating accident while filming in Australia. Yet, his spirit lives on through the work of his family and the countless lives they’ve touched.

Children Were Never a Given—Until Fate Intervened
In a candid interview with People, Terri revealed that the idea of having children wasn’t always a certainty for her and Steve. “When we got married, Steve said, ‘I’m just an action man. I don’t know how we would ever have kids,’” she recounted. “And I didn’t feel strongly one way or another.” But after nearly six years of marriage, Steve’s perspective shifted dramatically. One evening, he burst through the door exclaiming, “We’ve got to have children! Who do we leave all this to? Who will carry it on?” Despite her initial skepticism, Terri embraced the idea, recalling Steve’s conviction: “Oh, they will. They definitely will.” As it turns out, Steve’s instincts were spot-on—Bindi and Robert have followed in their parents’ footsteps, continuing the family’s commitment to wildlife conservation.
