Russell Crowe’s Girlfriend Britney Theriot ‘Reeling’ From His Admission He Won’t Get Married Again

Russell Crowe is denying any wedding plans with long-term galpal Britney Theriot, say insiders, leaving the blond beauty utterly crushed by his brutal attitude — as hurtful rumors swirl he’s still carrying a torch for his ex-wife!

The 61-year-old Gladiator swordsman has been with the 42-year-old actress for the past five years and was widely expected to soon waltz her down the aisle.

But he shocked fans — and devastated Britney — by publicly confiding to podcast host Joe Rogan that marriage isn’t in his future.

“All these reports coming out that Britney and I are engaged and I’m going to get married again? No,” the star thundered.

The Oscar winner then quipped: “My life is joyous and happy. Why ruin that with a wedding?”

Sources tell Globe the news walloped Britney, who’s been hoping for a ring since she started dating the burly big-screen he-man following his divorce from Danielle Spencer, 56, mom of their sons, Charles, 21, and Tennyson, 19.

Her beau has upped her anxiety by keeping incredibly close to former flame Danielle — who he separated from in 2012 and divorced in 2018.

In fact, Russell has invited his ex to appear on stage for an upcoming show just before Christmas in their native Australia, per New Idea.

“Britney was shocked,” says the insider. “It doesn’t line up at all with what Russell has been telling her — so it’s pretty upsetting.”

“It’s no secret she wants a ring on her finger and she thought they were on track for that.”

“Now that he’s pulled this, she’s reeling.”

Meanwhile, even since splitting nearly a decade ago, he and Danielle “are still very close and a lot of people say he’s still carrying a torch for her, which Britney always insists isn’t the case,” notes the insider.

“But after this sudden U-turn on getting married, she’s questioning everything.”

“Her friends are all telling her it’s pretty suspect that he’s making Danielle a part of this show.”

“Even Danielle has come out and said performing together is what they did when they were first falling in love — so it’s hard not to let this slide.”
