It’s hard to believe that it has now been 16 years since we lost Steve Irwin.
Steve changed the way the world viewed dangerous animals. He was a true pioneer in his field, and the world lost a wonderful person when he tragically passed away at just 44, doing what he loved.
Now, over a decade later, his wife Terri Irwin has shared a confession Steve once made to her—something that might surprise many people …
Terri recently sat down for an interview with the Australian TV series *Anh’s Brush With Fame*, where the conversation took an unexpected turn.
When the interviewer mentioned Steve’s untimely death, Terri said: “He never thought he’d have a long life. He always kind of had this feeling that his life would be cut short.”
Sadly, Steve was right. The beloved TV host was filming *Ocean’s Deadliest* in Queensland, Australia, when he was tragically killed by a stingray’s barb.
After the accident, Terri was told to call her zoo manager. She vividly remembers the moment she learned her husband had passed away.
“I just remember feeling this huge sense of responsibility, overwhelming grief, but also, ‘What do I do next?’ I had to gather my thoughts and then go out to the car to tell Bindi and Robert … which was really hard.”
When news of Steve’s death spread, Terri was shocked by the incredible amount of support they received.
“No one would’ve been more surprised than Steve at the outpouring of grief and love,” she said

Mom Proudly Breastfeeds in Public and Claps Back at Critics
Mothers can nourish their newborns naturally and beautifully by breastfeeding. In addition to giving vital nutrients, it fosters a solid emotional tie between a mother and her kid. Unfortunately, breastfeeding in public has become a contentious issue, upsetting or even unsettling some people.
One mother, Trinati, made the decision to speak out and posted an impactful photo of herself nursing her child inside a Costco. After becoming viral, the public reacted to this photo with love and condemnation.
Instagram user Trinati, who has over 7,000 followers, shared the image in 2017 to highlight the extent moms will go to in order to make sure their kids are taken care of, no matter what. She clarified that she wants to normalize nursing in public and that she never hesitates to do so. She’ll have to put up with odd looks and awkward laughs, but she’s determined to support her child wherever they go.
Even Trinati’s family members have been known to tease her about her protracted breastfeeding journey, despite the criticism she faces from outsiders. She is determined to breastfeed her infant for as long as she needs, though, and she is unconcerned. Trinati rejects the notion that nursing in public is improper or sexual and tries to eradicate the stigma associated with it. She humorously notes that her breasts are more like udders than anything else, so they’re definitely not objects of desire.
Trinati is certain that her child’s needs come before any attempts to make her feel ashamed. She becomes a part of the community of moms who, by sharing their own heroic breastfeeding stories, challenge social standards and offer encouragement to one another.
There are several advantages to breastfeeding for both mother and child. The CDC states that it can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, ovarian and breast cancer, among other diseases. Numerous celebrities have also shown support for nursing mothers, including as Chrissy Teigen, Olivia Munn, Ronda Rousey, and Vanessa Morgan.
For mothers everywhere, the debate about breastfeeding in public is draining. Without condemnation or criticism, they need to be able to feed their kids in the way that suits them the best. It’s time to honor and promote the lovely act of nursing, as well as to stand with mothers like Trinati who take great pride in providing their kids with comfort and nourishment.
