Russell Crowe appeared to be in love with his girlfriend Britney Theriot on Wednesday as the couple enjoyed a holiday in Italy with their sons Tennyson and Charles.
The 59-year-old ‘Gladiator’ star, who recently announced his plans to retire from acting, was smitten with his much younger girlfriend, 31, as they held hands and hugged on the street in Taormina.
Crowe cut a casual figure in a black shirt and sweatpants paired with trainers and mirrored shades of blue while proudly posing with his family.
He shares Charles, 19, and Tennyson, 17, with ex-wife Danielle Spencer, to whom he was married from 2003 to 2018.
Britney looked glamorous in a black one-shoulder top and gray sweatpants paired with sandals as she hugged her partner while shopping for souvenirs.

Review: The star was spotted shopping for souvenirs at a local shop
The actor was spotted browsing for gifts at a local shop before the family enjoyed an al fresco lunch.
This comes after Crowe announced he was considering retiring from acting after four decades in the industry.
According to Variety, the Hollywood star announced that he is considering retirement at the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.
Noting that he was getting older in the industry, Crowe considered the next step in his career.
“You stand in front of the mirror and you’re like, ‘Who the hell is that?’ he told journalists at the festival.
“I’m in that time now.”
The ‘Gladiator’ star then weighed her options, noting that 85-year-old director Ridley Scott continues to work as he ages.
“I’ll take Ridley Scott as my role model: he’s always discovering new things in his work.” Or I’ll just quit and you’ll never hear from me again,” he continued.
