'Okay to be on my own': Terri Irwin isn't interested in dating as she had her 'happily ever after' with Steve Irwin

Terri Irwin has reflected on her marriage to late husband Steve Irwin – and revealed why she's not interested in dating anyone.

The Irwin matriarch told US Weekly that she's "OK to be on her own now" as she "had the best marriage in the whole world for 14 years".

"I totally got my happily ever after," she told the publication.

"And while there are a lot of wonderful men in the world, can you see another Steve Irwin?

"...I'd be like, 'I love that you're a librarian and the dude decimal system is cool, but I got to go jump a crocodile and do that.' Forget that."

Terri was just in her early 40s when she became widowed when the love of her life, husband Steve Irwin, tragically died in 2006 following an incident on the Batt Reef in Queensland.

Just weeks ago, Terri opened up about becoming a single parent upon Steve's death, and how their children Bindi and Robert have her the "purpose, courage, and happiness" to carry on.

In a sweet Instagram post to acknowledge Mother's Day, Terri said: "Being a mum is the best part of my life."

"When Steve passed, it was not a burden being a single mum, it was actually my children that gave me purpose, courage, and happiness every day.

"Bindi and Robert are the reason I can stand strong, meet every challenge, and embrace every adventure."

She finished: "As a mother, I am truly blessed."

Terri and both Irwin children have grown up continuing their father's legacy through their active animal conservation work with Australia Zoo.
