Are Russell Crowe and Terri Irwin getting married for real? Reports started lumping these two together in May of this year and the rumors gained steam again in late November. The New Zealand-born actor and "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin's widow have been good friends, but is there any truth to the stories?
Wedding bells ahead?
According to New Idea, Russell Crowe and Terri Irwin have been serious for a while, but Terri wasn't ready to go public with their secret romance. Ever since her husband died from a stingray injury in 2006 on the Great Barrier Reef, she hasn't found anyone else.
Sources say Crowe was there to help her cope with her grief and has been there for her children as well -- Bindi and Robert. In the process of it all, Russell and Terri "fell in love," according to the magazines' sources.
Russell Crowe breaks his silence
Crowe has had enough of the reports insinuating that he's marrying Irwin. He unleashed a tweet on December 7 targeting the two news sites where the rumors originated -- New Idea magazine and Women's Day magazine. New Idea reported that Crowe and Irwin were about to go public with their relationship and have a small wedding; Woman's Day reported that the wedding was "off."
Russell informed his 2.24 million followers that they can't believe everything they read.

Last week @NewIdeamagazine said I was getting married, now @WomansDay saying the weddings off. I have such a dramatic life in bs magazines

Gossip Cop has debunked every report about these two being together. In May, Terri's rep called the news source and informed them that Daily Mail Australia's report had "absolutely no truth" to it.
A representative from the Australian Zoo laughed off the rumors, saying that Terri Irwin wasn't dating anyone. The zoo reaffirmed this statement once more in the latest reports in November.
Gossip Cop added that the quotes and sources in all of these speculative reports are made up. Unless the two are spotted together or the paparazzi can get photos of them together, there's no visual basis for the claims, either.
Russell Crowe and Terri Irwin might make a nice couple, but they deny claims they're having any kind of a relationship, or getting married.
