Russell Crowe Says “No” to Marriage with 33-Year-Old Girlfriend

Russell Crowe, now 61, and Britney Theriot, 33, have been in a relationship since 2020—though they reportedly met back in 2013 on the set of the film Broken City.

They made their red-carpet debut as a couple in October 2022 at the Rome premiere of Crowe’s film Poker Face. Despite the time together and frequent public appearances, Crowe has thrown down on the rumours that they’re engaged.

Why Is Crowe So Firm About Not Getting Married Again?

In a recent interview on 60 Minutes Australia, Crowe stated: “All these reports keep coming out saying that Britney and I are engaged and I’m going to get married again. No.” He added that his life is “so joyous and happy at the moment — why ruin that with a wedding?”

He also referenced his previous marriage to Danielle Spencer (which ended in divorce) as part of why he’s reluctant to go down the aisle again. “I’ve been married once … I know where it can go. So I don’t need to go to that place.”

But the Relationship? Yep, It Seems Pretty Solid

Crowe didn’t shy away from praising his bond with Theriot: “We respect each other and wake up with a smile… and we are very happy,” he said.

He even described a standout romantic moment: while on tour in the Czech Republic, he found Theriot on the dance floor, spun her around like his dad taught him, and that moment made everyone stop and watch. “It was like a scene from a movie.”

So What’s the Takeaway?

• They definitely have a strong relationship, but a formal wedding is out of the question.
• Crowe values the current setup’s friendship, respect, and joy over the traditional “married life” milestone.
• It’s a modern-ish stance: prioritising what works for them rather than following what’s expected.
• For us watching from outside, it’s a reminder that love, commitment, and labels don’t always line up the way society presumes.
