Danielle Spencer penned down a sweet tribute to her ex-husband Russell Crowe while sharing a rare photo of the actor with their two sons on what would have been their 20th wedding anniversary.
It is always great to see former couples remain friendly even after divorce. This is even more crucial when there are children involved — who would need the stability of a happy home.
There’s no better example of such a display of love and maturity than Danielle Spencer and Russell Crowe. Despite splitting in 2012, they have maintained a very healthy relationship through the years.
Danielle Spencer and Russel Crowe met in 1989 while on the set of the film “The Crossing.” They later tied the knot in April 2003 in a private ceremony on Crowe’s farm in Nana Glen, New South Wales.
They went on to welcome two sons, Charles, 19, and Tennyson, 16. The former couple split in 2012, although they didn’t finalize their divorce until 2018. During that period, the Gladiator even hinted at a possible reconciliation with his ex-wife.
In 2015, he told The Sunday Times:
I’ve loved Danielle Spencer since 1989 – that’s never going to change – and that’s one of those things where I stare at her and go, ”How did this fail?’ I still can’t work it out because my feelings for her have never changed”
Danielle Spencer’s Tribute To Ex-husband Russell Crowe
On Friday, veteran actor Russell Crowe turned 59, and he has been inundated with several birthday wishes from fans and celebrities alike. Amongst the sea of messages, one that particularly stood out was the one from his ex-wife.
Danielle Spencer took to her Instagram page to share a sweet tribute to Russell Crowe on his 59th birthday. Interestingly, it was also the same day the former couple tied the knot in 2003. They would have been celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary if they were still together.
While referencing the above in her birthday message, Spencer wrote on Instagram:
“Twenty years ago today, I married the father of my boys. While it is no longer our anniversary, it is still that guy’s birthday. Happy Birthday @russellcrowe”
The 53-year-old actress shared her birthday message alongside a rare photo of Crowe with his sons as children. The post attracted a lot of comments, with many fans showing admiration for the closely-knit family.
Although the “Gladiator” actor is now dating former actress Britney Theriot, he still has a wonderful co-parenting relationship with Spencer. The two also regularly support each other on various projects.
