\u201cI don\u2019t need to be with my partner 24 hours a day to feel safe or secure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Spencer \u2013 who is the daughter of well-known Aussie entertainer Don Spencer \u2013 gushed over her \u201cloyal\u201d ex, whom she says would call her \u201ca hundred times a day\u201d during their marriage while he was away filming.<\/p>\n
\u201cRussell\u2019s most admirable trait is loyalty. He\u2019s also a deep thinker. I am an actor as well, so I totally understood him being away on film sets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spencer explained that when their kids were young, they\u2019d travel with Crowe on work trips, but once their eldest started school, he\u2019d found \u201call the moving a little traumatic\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt our kids needed routine rather than living in hotels or renting houses for a few months, so I settled them in Sydney \u2026 We\u2019d visit Russell, or he\u2019d call me a hundred times a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spencer also spoke about the split in an interview on Stellar\u2019s Something To Talk About podcast last year, admitting she felt she\u2019d been \u201cdriving\u201d the break-up of their family.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really sad breaking up with somebody that you\u2019ve known for so long, that you\u2019ve had children with,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe kind of breaking up the family \u2013 and it felt very much like I was driving that \u2013 so I had to deal with my almost sense of guilt that I was fracturing the family, but obviously I did it for a number of reasons and I wouldn\u2019t have done it if I didn\u2019t think it needed to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both Spencer and Crowe are now in relationships with other people.<\/p>\n
Spencer has been with her current partner, artist and writer Adam Long, since 2016, while Crowe met now-girlfriend Britney Theriot on the set of Broken City in 2013, although they only started dating in 2020.<\/p>\n
During an interview with 60 Minutes last year, Crowe addressed speculation he was planning to tie the knot again.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll these reports keep coming out saying that Britney and I are engaged and I\u2019m going to get married again. No, we are very good friends and we have a wonderful relationship,\u201d he told the programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy life is so joyous and happy at the moment. Why would I ruin that with a wedding? Why would I go through [that]?\u201d he told Karl Stefanovic on the programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been married once, you know, I know how it can go and where it can go. So, I don\u2019t need to go to that place. Where\u2019s the romance? Where\u2019s the romance in you?\u201d<\/p>\n
