Russell Crowe is not getting married again, despite reports that he and his girlfriend are engaged.
The Hollywood actor, best known for starring in Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, and Robin Hood, is dating Britney Theriot. The celebrity couple went public with their romance in 2020 and have been spotted at numerous star-studded events together ever since.
Theriot, 33, and Crowe, 61, got people talking over the summer at Wimbledon when people spotted a large rock on Theriot's ring finger, sparking some people to believe they pair were engaged.
Crowe has since addressed this and spoke about any future wedding plans.

"All these reports coming out that Britney and I are engaged and I'm going to get married again — no," the actor told Karl Stefanovic on 60 Minutes Australia.
Crowe went on: "We are very, very good friends and we have a wonderful relationship. My life is so joyous and happy at the moment. Why would I ruin that with a wedding?"
The 61-year-old briefly reflected on his first and only marriage to ex-wife Danielle Spencer. They wed in 2003 and separated in 2012, but their divorce wasn't finalized until 2018.
They share sons Charles, 21, and Tennyson, 19, together.
"I've been married once, and I know where that can go and how it can go," said Crowe, adding: "I don't need go to that place."
Stefanovic proceeded to ask Crowe where his sense of romance was, but he insisted that being boyfriend and girlfriend is still just as amorous and explained that he and Theriot 'do everything together'.
"I'm very happy, mate," he told the Aussie broadcaster as he doubled down on him having no plans to marry again.
"Doing it once is cool, but I don't want to get married again," Crowe insisted.
While another wedding isn't in Crowe's future, he did at one point tease that he may step back from Hollywood altogether.
Speaking to the press at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in 2023, he said: "You are standing in front of the mirror, and go: ‘Who the fuck is that?’ I am in that period now.
"I will take Ridley Scott as my role model: he is still discovering new things in his work. Or I will just stop and you will never hear from me again."
Fortunately that wasn't the case. Upcoming projects he's been tied to include The Last Druid and Highlander, and his latest movie, Nuremberg, is coming out on November 7.
