12 Years After Steve Irwin’s Death, Terri Irwin Reveals the Dark Secret He Confessed

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

When Dennis graduated high school in 2000, he was lucky enough to have his infant daughter, Tori, present for the celebrations. At the time, the pair posed for a photo in which Dennis gave his little girl a kiss – the perfect keepsake reminder of his big day.

Fast forward to 2018, and it was Tori Roach’s turn to mark the moment when she finished high school. Needless to say, Dennis was there to share the milestone, and the pair had the brilliant idea of recreating the photo they

In the new version, Tori lay across her father’s arms as he once again kissed her cheek. She uploaded a side-by-side image – with the pictures from 2000 and 2018 – to Twitter, but no one could have guessed just how well it would be received by people online.

“18 years later,” Tori captioned her post. It soon went viral, accumulating almost 150,000 likes and 57,000 reposts.

Tori couldn’t believe the attention her post received, and was later forced to clarify that her dad, aged 37 at the time of her high school graduation, wasn’t single.

Furthermore, she spoke to People of Dennis’s pride.

“I woke up and I had a ton of notifications. People had started sharing and liking and commenting all over again. My dad was really proud. We’re from a small town, so nothing like this really ever happens. And he was like, ‘That’s so cool!’”

She added: “It brought me and my dad closer in a way because we could share that moment, and I feel that not many other people get to experience that.”
