Danielle and Russell married in April 2003 at his farm in Nana Glen. They separated in 2012 and finalised their divorce six years later.

The actress was recently quizzed about her relationship with Russell, 59 and how she had put her career on hold to raise their sons.

‘I think because Russell was travelling a lot with work, and we wanted to try and keep the family together and the parents in the same place, I just couldn’t [continue my singing and acting career],’ she told KISS FM.

‘I just thought we can’t both be on location and the kids bought up with a nanny.’

Danielle said that for years after their split, she and Russell would go on holiday every year with their children so that they could have time with both parents.

She even posted a touching tribute to her ex-husband on his 59th birthday and what would’ve been their 20th wedding anniversary.

‘Twenty years ago today, I married the father of my boys,’ she captioned the post, which included a rare, intimate image of the actor with his sons as children.

‘While it is no longer our anniversary, it is still that guy’s birthday. Happy Birthday @russellcrowe,’ she added.

Russell is now dating American actress Britney Theriot while Danielle is in a long-term relationship with author Adam Long.
