Terri "heartbroken" over Rusty

Despite the constant denials that they're in a relationship, fresh claims suggest Terri Irwin has called time on her "romance" with Russell Crowe.

After months of being romantically linked, and months of denying they're anything but good friends, Woman's Day claims the 53-year-old Wildlife Warrior has reached "breaking point" with Rusty, with the mag claiming the actor is "dragging his feet" when it comes to committing to Tez.

According to the publication, Terri has been wanting to go public with the relationship "for months" but the 53-year-old actor has only downplayed his relationship with Terri.

Taking to Twitter last month, Rusty gave a special shout out to his close friend on her birthday, joking about the persistant rumours of a romance between the pair.

"I have loved you in so many different magazines... haha happy birthday to you!!" Russell tweeted to his 2.6 million followers.

Back in May, The Mummy star told KIISFM radio hosts Hughesy and Kate that while Terri was one of the "greatest women in life", there was no truth to the constant speculation they're in love.

"That's an example of the magazines creating their own industry out of their own imagination," Rusty told the radio duo at the time.

"The reality break is though that I was great friends with Steve and his wife and his kids are really important to me, they're beautiful people. Terri is one of the greatest women I have ever met in my life, without there being any implications of intimacy.

"You know I do love Terri Irwin and her kids and I love how she has kept the memory of Steve alive and the work that the two of them had begun, she's an absolute champion, but we're not in a relationship."

Rusty added that while the mag stories amuse him and Terri, they're actually doing them a " great service" by always putting the pair on the cover.

"You know what it does? It gets us on the phone every now and then, which is a great service. We talk and laugh and she catches me up on stuff and I catch her up on stuff so in a funny way magazines with their bull**** are doing us a service because they're reminding us to stay in touch," he joked.
