According to The Hits, friends told New Idea magazine that Terri stuck with her look for decades because she wanted to be taken seriously as a conservationist.

Terri also recently opened up about her plans to have a third child with her late husband Steve.

While walking the carpet at the annual Steve Irwin Gala Dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend, the 52-year-old revealed she had suggested having a third child prior to Steve’s tragic death in 2006.

“I said to Steve, ‘Let’s have a third’,” Terri told E! News.

“And he said, ‘You have a girl and you have a boy. What are you hoping for?’”

“Steve said to me how excited he was when Bindi was born,” Terri added.

“He said, ‘Do you think we could have a boy?’ And then Robert was born, and they’re perfect. “They’re easy kids; they’re wonderful to me; they’re such a help.”

Terri walked the carpet alongside 18-year-old Bindi and also spoke about their sweet relationship.

“I think the secret is love at first sight,” Terri said.

“Some people don’t believe in it, and then you have a baby and fall in love with this person the way you never knew you could love somebody.”

Earlier this week Terri shot down the persistent rumours that she was dating Aussie actor Russell Crowe.

Speaking to Access Hollywood on the weekend, Irwin said the Oscar winner was nothing more than a “dear friend” and she hadn’t dated anyone in the decade since Steve’s death.

“He is very lucky to be embroiled in all of these great rumours,” Irwin joked on the US entertainment TV show alongside daughter Bindi.

“In all honesty, he and Steve became friends many years ago, and after Steve passed, you find out who your true friends are. And Russell has been very loyal as a great friend.”

Speaking about how Crowe helped protect the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in Queensland, she added: “He talked about the situation publicly and stood up and helped us and is a great guy. But absolutely just a dear friend. Nothing going on.”
