'Yesterday I officially became divorced': Russell Crowe finalises split from Danielle Spencer ... five years after their marriage broke down
Their marriage broke down in 2012.
And more than five years later, on Tuesday Russell Crowe took to Twitter to confirm that he and ex-wife Danielle Spencer had finally divorced.
The finalisation of their split comes after the Gladiator star sold more than $3.7 million worth of jewellery, art and movie memorabilia collected during their marriage at auction on Saturday night.

Russell's Sotheby's auction, titled The Art of Divorce, was held on Saturday - the same day as his 54th birthday and wedding anniversary with Danielle.
A breastplate from blockbuster Gladiator sold for $125,000, a replica Roman chariot for $65,000, and a painting by Charles Blackman for $360,000 during the auction.

Danielle and Russell have had an on and off relationship since they first met while starring in the 1989 Australian movie The Crossing.
The former couple married in 2003 and share two sons together Charles, 14, and Tennyson, 11, before splitting in late 2012.
Since 2016 Danielle has been in a relationship with Adam Long, while Russell has been falsely linked to a string of women, most notably Terri Irwin.

Danielle lives in Te Puke, the couple's former marital home in the Sydney suburb of Rose Bay, which The Sunday Telegraph reported was transferred fully into her name last December.
Meanwhile Russell lives in a Woolloomooloo apartment and his Nana Glen farm, located north of Sydney.
Opening up about their split in 2015, Danielle told The Daily Telegraph she wanted things to remain as friendly as possible, similar to her own parent's divorce.

'It’s been a great example for me, that is exactly what I would aspire to achieving myself,' she said.
'If my mother’s away, my father and step-dad will get together and watch the footie or something – they’re really great friends.'
Meanwhile, Russell had told The Sunday Times that same year that he wouldn't rule out a reconciliation with Danielle.
'Once I commit to something, I stick with it, so you never know… I’ve loved Danielle Spencer since 1989; that’s never going to change,' he said.
