Russell Crowe Clarifies Age Gap with Girlfriend Britney Theriot

Russell Crowe, the renowned actor known for his role in *Gladiator*, has addressed misconceptions surrounding the age difference between him and his long-term girlfriend, Britney Theriot. The 61-year-old actor took to social media to clarify that Theriot is not 30 years younger than him, as previously reported. In a post on X/Twitter, Crowe stated, “I have clarified this on many occasions, but some people prefer the fiction. It is so ungentlemanly to do this. However, my lovely Britney is 42 years of age. I am 61.”

Crowe’s comments come following a series of misleading articles about their relationship. He expressed his belief that an 18-year age gap is not scandalous, emphasizing that “if two people love each other, age doesn’t matter.”

Engagement Rumors and Relationship Insights

Earlier this year, while attending Wimbledon, the couple sparked engagement rumors when Theriot was seen wearing a diamond ring on her left hand. However, Crowe dismissed these speculations during an interview on *60 Minutes*, stating, “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?”

The actor, who was previously married to Danielle Spencer from 2003 to 2018, further clarified his stance on marriage, saying, “I’m not gonna get married again. Doing it once is cool, but I don’t want to get married again.” He described his relationship with Theriot as respectful and fulfilling, emphasizing that they both “wake up with a smile” and are “very happy.”

Health Journey and Weight Loss

In addition to his personal life, Crowe recently shared insights into his health journey, which includes a significant weight loss of 57 pounds, achieved through the wellness program Ways2Well. The actor explained that he went from approximately 278 pounds to around 222 pounds and highlighted the benefits of the program, stating, “I’ve probably connected with them about five times since that first time.”

Crowe noted that the treatments he has received, particularly injections and IVs, have helped reduce inflammation in his body, which he attributes to old injuries causing him arthritis-related pain. “Ways2Well was a great call for me because it calmed down a bunch of stuff,” he remarked. He expressed relief that the program has allowed him to work out without suffering intense pain afterward.

According to its official website, Ways2Well employs “innovative diagnostic testing, physician-guided treatment plans, and a focus on whole-body wellness” to help individuals identify potential health concerns early and make informed health decisions.

Russell Crowe continues to be an influential figure in the entertainment industry while managing his personal life and health with transparency and determination.
