It’s hard to believe that it has now been 16 years since we lost Steve Irwin.
Steve changed the way the world viewed dangerous animals. He was a true pioneer in his field, and the world lost a wonderful person when he tragically passed away at just 44, doing what he loved.
Now, over a decade later, his wife Terri Irwin has shared a confession Steve once made to her—something that might surprise many people …
Terri recently sat down for an interview with the Australian TV series *Anh’s Brush With Fame*, where the conversation took an unexpected turn.
When the interviewer mentioned Steve’s untimely death, Terri said: “He never thought he’d have a long life. He always kind of had this feeling that his life would be cut short.”
Sadly, Steve was right. The beloved TV host was filming *Ocean’s Deadliest* in Queensland, Australia, when he was tragically killed by a stingray’s barb.
After the accident, Terri was told to call her zoo manager. She vividly remembers the moment she learned her husband had passed away.
“I just remember feeling this huge sense of responsibility, overwhelming grief, but also, ‘What do I do next?’ I had to gather my thoughts and then go out to the car to tell Bindi and Robert … which was really hard.”
When news of Steve’s death spread, Terri was shocked by the incredible amount of support they received.
“No one would’ve been more surprised than Steve at the outpouring of grief and love,” she said

My Husband Accused Me of Embarrassing Him While I Was Birthing Our Child, So I Taught Him a Lesson
My husband Owen and I were thrilled to welcome our baby, Liam. Our families were supportive, and the pregnancy went well. However, childbirth was painful, and Owen made remarks about my yelling, which hurt deeply.
One evening, while Liam slept, I brought up Owen’s comments during labor. He admitted to saying I was embarrassing him, but his response was defensive. His attitude shocked me, revealing a side of him I didn’t like. I locked myself in the bedroom with Liam, reflecting on his character.
A week later, we had dinner at my parents’ house. I encouraged my sisters to share their childbirth experiences, highlighting their supportive spouses. Owen listened quietly, realizing his mistakes. When it was my turn, I focused on Owen’s positive actions during my pregnancy. This led to a heartfelt apology from him, and he promised to be a better partner.
Driving home, I felt at peace. By choosing compassion over confrontation, I gave us a chance to move forward. Have you ever faced a similar situation? Would you have forgiven your husband or confronted him publicly? Let us know on Facebook!
