Bindi Irwin speaks on rumours about Terri and Russell

The previous year has seen many claims and rumours about an alleged relationship between Terri Irwin and long time friend Russell Crowe.

Now Terri's daughter, Bindi has addressed the reports, telling E!’s Daily Pop, that while her entire family 'love' the Gladiator star, her late father Steve is still 'very much' her mother's 'soulmate'.

'There’s lots of crazy rumours,' she said. 'You know we do love Russell, but mum and Russell aren’t actually in love!' 

'My dad is still very much my mum’s soulmate. And I think that no matter what, Mum always says that they’ll always be married,' she added.

'And to her, Mum and Dad, they’re always going to be together. So in this life and the next, they’re a couple and a team. So I think that’s really important.'

The teen had nothing but praise for Russell saying, 'Russell is a wonderful wildlife warrior. He was a dear friend of dad's, now a dear friend of ours. He feels like family to us, but mum and Russell? Just friends. For sure,' she said.
