TERRI Irwin still only has eyes for her late husband, Steve Irwin.

The Crocodile Hunter star died nearly 10 years ago, but his wife tells The Australian Woman’s Weekly that she doesn’t want another romantic relationship.

“I haven’t been on a single date since Steve died,” she admits. “If I hadn’t met Steve, I probably would never have married because I wasn’t looking for love when I met him. What we had was incredible.”

Terri met Steve in 1991 and they tied the knot in June 1992 after eight months of dating. The couple had two children together, 18-year-old Bindi and 12-year-old Robert, and were married for 14 years when Steve died after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb in September 2006.

The 52-year-old conservationist told Entertainment Tonight that she has no interest in dating because she’s already had her “happily ever after.”

“I still feel immense love and loyalty to Steve,” Terri shared. “And I’ve got great kids, I’ve got a very full life, and while I’m lonely for Steve, I’m not a lonely person.”

She added, “I think for other people who have lost someone and have loved again, it’s a beautiful thing but it’s just not really on my horizon.”
