Terri Irwin stuns fans with sweet throwback photo of late husband Steve and their children celebrating Easter

Terri Irwin has embraced the holiday spirit by sharing a sweet throwback photo of her celebrating Easter with her late husband Steve and their two children.

The reality TV star, 61, posted the rarely-seen picture to social media on Easter Sunday, which captured her and Steve posing alongside their very young children, Bindi and Robert, all four of them wearing Easter bunny ears.

Steve was seen beaming from ear to ear in the adorable photo from 2004, in which he proudly held up his daughter Bindi, while Terri tenderly cradled their newborn son Robert.

They all sported their trademark khakis in the sweet photo, which Terri captioned with some touching words: 'Easter memories. So much love.'

Many of Terri's followers quickly took to the comment section to gush over the rarely-seen picture.

'Please, please please re-create this photograph this year!' one person quipped.

'Such a beautiful shot of your family,' a second added. 

'Robert still just as cute and Bindi looks exactly the same,' a third chimed in. 

It comes after Steve's son Robert fought back tears last month in an emotional interview with Anderson Cooper.

The Wildlife Warrior, 22, was chatting to the US broadcasting veteran on his podcast All There Is about how he processes grief in the wake of his father's death.

Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin died aged 44 off the coast of Queensland in 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray while filming a nature documentary.

During the extensive interview, Robert became visibly emotional when Anderson asked if he still communicated with his father.

'Yeah, there are... there are moments where...' Robert began before choking up.

Anderson replied: 'If it's too personal, it's fine.'

Pushing on, Robert revealed that he feels closest to his father when he is by himself in nature.    

'There are moments where... I'll sit... I'm always closest to Dad when I'm in the middle of nowhere, when I'm out in the bush,' he said.

'There are absolutely moments where I'll be hit with this sense of warmth – it's like something kind of wraps around me.'

He then revealed the heartbreaking question that he asks Steve in those private moments.

'I will absolutely sit and just say: "How do I go forward", you know? How do you move forward?'

Continuing, Robert said that while he is constantly reminded of his father, those moments alone provide the biggest catharsis. 

Steve died on September 4, 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a short-tail stingray barb while filming in the Great Barrier Reef with Philippe Cousteau Jr.

A private funeral service was held on September 9, and Steve was buried in a private ceremony at Australia Zoo later that same day.

A public memorial service was held in Australia Zoo's 5,500-seat Crocoseum on September 30, and was broadcast live to an estimated audience of more than 300 million.
