Russell Crowe has ruled out getting married again following rumours he and girlfriend Britney Theriot are engaged.
The Gladiator star was previously married to Australian singer and actress Danielle Spencer, with whom he tied the knot in 2003 and divorced in 2018.
The 61-year-old actor and his 33-year-old partner are often rumoured to be engaged, but Crowe insists he doesn't want to "ruin" his "joyous and happy" life with his girlfriend with a wedding.
Appearing on Sunday's 60 Minutes, he said: "All these reports coming out that Britney and I are engaged and I'm going to get married again? No.
"My life is joyous and happy, why ruin that with a wedding?"
He gushed over his five-year relationship: "We respect each other and wake up with a smile, and we are very happy."
Doubling down on not wanting to walk down the aisle again, he added: "I've been married once, and I know where that can go.
"I'm not gonna get married again. Doing it once is cool, but I don't want to get married again."
Crowe - who has Charles, 21, and Tennyson, 19, with her - has been dating Britney since 2020, and it's not the first time he has had to shoot down engagement reports.
In 2022, Broken City actress Britney was said to have been spotted leaving a hotel in Italy wearing a ring on her finger, and while she was said to look "very happy", would not explain why she was wearing the piece of jewellery.
At the time, a source said: "Britney made no effort to hide [the ring]. But she also wouldn’t elaborate on it. It was clear that she is very happy though – she has a real glow about her."
Just days earlier, Britney had made her debut on the red carpet alongside the Les Miserables star at the premiere of his movie Poker Face in Rome and he was said to be "thrilled" to have her next to him at the glitzy event.
A witness said: "Russell looked thrilled to go public with Britney by his side."
What's more, in July, Crowe had been spotted shopping for a ring and a source alleged that a wedding had been on the cards "for a while” and that Britney was "everything" he had been looking for in a partner.
A source said: "He’s been telling friends since he met Britney that she’s different. She is loyal, fun and beautiful – everything he wanted in a companion.
