Danielle Spencer, the Australian singer-songwriter and former wife of Hollywood icon Russell Crowe, has set tongues wagging after being spotted conspicuously without her wedding ring during a casual outing in Sydney.
The 54-year-old musician, who finalised her divorce from the Gladiator star nearly eight years ago, appeared relaxed yet ringless as she ran errands in the city's eastern suburbs, fuelling speculation about her current relationship status.
A Changing Relationship Dynamic
Despite their separation, Spencer and Crowe have maintained what observers describe as an "amicable and functional" relationship, primarily focused on co-parenting their two sons, Charles, 20, and Tennyson, 17. The former couple's ability to put their children first has been widely noted in celebrity circles.
Their divorce settlement, finalised in 2018 after six years of separation, reportedly left Spencer with a substantial property portfolio valued at approximately $13 million, including their luxurious $7 million Woolloomooloo apartment overlooking Sydney Harbour.
New Romantic Horizons
Adding intrigue to the recent sighting, Spencer has been linked to Adam Long, the 53-year-old frontman of Australian band The Dacios. The pair have reportedly grown close since meeting several years ago, though Spencer has remained characteristically private about the nature of their relationship.
During her Sydney outing, Spencer cut a casual figure in a black jumper, jeans, and trainers, carrying a reusable shopping bag—a far cry from the glamorous lifestyle often associated with Hollywood exes.
A Life Beyond the Spotlight
Since her split from Crowe, Spencer has largely stepped away from the public eye, focusing on her music career and raising her children. Her last album, "Calling All Magicians," was released in 2016 to critical acclaim, showcasing her talents beyond being known as Russell Crowe's ex-wife.
The former couple married in 2003 after meeting on the set of Crowe's film "The Crossing" in 1989, when Spencer was just 19 years old. Their 25-year relationship, including nearly 10 years of marriage, remains one of Australia's most documented celebrity partnerships.
As Spencer moves forward with her life in Sydney, fans and observers alike continue to watch with interest as this chapter of her story unfolds away from the glare of her ex-husband's global fame.
