Millions mourned with her when her husband Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray in September 2006.

And ten years on, Terri Irwin says no-one has taken his place in her heart with the mother-of-two revealing in this month's The Australian Woman's Weekly she hasn't dated since his death.

'I haven't been on a single date since Steve died.'

The American-born wildlife warrior met Steve on an educational trip to Australia in the early '90s and after a whirlwind romance they were married just months later.

'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,' she said.

Terri recalls that after their wedding in the U.S. state of Oregon, the two caught their first crocodile together - on their honeymoon.

Since his passing, she has committed to keeping The Crocodile Hunter's legacy alive through his conservation work, Australia Zoo, and raising their children Bindi, 18, and Robert, 12.
