Could the Crocodile Hunter's widow find lasting love with Crocodile Dundee?
Since Steve Irwin's death in 2006 wife Terri has focussed on keeping his legacy alive while raising their two children Bindi, 17, and Robert, 11.
Nine years later New Idea magazine said the 51-year-old might be ready to start dating again, suggesting Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan, 76, as a possible love interest.
Hogan split with his wife Linda Kozlowski in late 2013, and may be just the right person to fill her late husband's fearless shoes.
"Since splitting from Linda, everyone's been pushing Paul to take Terri out on a date - even his business team, who think they'll get some great publicity out of the fictional crocodile hero dating the real deal's widow," a source told the publication.
"But up until now, both Paul and Terri have always resisted out of respect for Steve".
While the two have never met before, those close to Terri insist the mother of two would be a great fit for the actor.
"There's no doubt Terri's Paul's type, Terri's always saying how she'll never find anyone like Steve, but Paul is someone who could totally fill those shoes," another source added.
Irwin aka the Crocodile Hunter died following a stingray attack in 2006, leaving behind a grieving wife and kids. Terri has since taken sole charge of his position at Australia Zoo.
Hogan is known for playing the role of outback adventurer in the 1986 film Crocodile Dundee.
He was previously married to Noelene Edwards, before finding romance with co-star, Kozlowski.
Sharing five children with Edwards and one with Kozlowski the father-of-six is currently single.

Despite revalations in the New Idea feature, Terri recently told Entertainment Tonight she was not looking to move on at all.
"It's really nothing that I'm considering," she said when asked if she would ever date again.
"I think I've had my happily ever after," she said. "I still feel immense love and loyalty to Steve.
"I've got great kids, I've got a very full life; she added. And while I'm lonely for Steve, I'm not a lonely person.
"I think if I hadn't met Steve I probably would have never married, that's how unique our relationship was. And I think for other people who have lost someone and have loved again, it's a beautiful thing, but it's just not really on my horizon."
Neither party have released any comment in relation to the rumours.
