Bindi Irwin and and legendary wakeboarder Chandler Powell have announced that they are expecting a baby.
The pregnancy announcement that has people all over the world (particularly Australians) beaming with joy!
Just a few months after their emotional wedding – you can view their tear-jerker ceremony here – the pair shared a special photo to their social media:
Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021.
Chandler and I are proud to announce that we’re expecting! It’s an honour to share this special moment in our lives with you. Though I’m still in my first trimester, we really want you to be part of our journey from the beginning of this new life chapter. We couldn’t wait to share the news as this beautiful little being has become the most important part of our lives. Your support means the world to us. Please let me know your best advice and send good vibes & prayers to our little sweetheart.
Love & light.
Thousands of supportive comments came flooding in with many reminiscing on the pregnancy announcement by Terry and the unforgettable Steve Irwin, of Bindi and her younger brother Robert.
Terry Irwin wrote that she wished her late husband would have been here but she knows he would have been so proud. You can view the full post with all the love here.

They instantly hit it off and their friendship continued to grow until they publicly announced their relationship two years later.
The couple remained strong in a long distance relationship often sharing photos of each other on their social media pages. In 2018, Chandler finally moved to Queensland and began working at the zoo with the Irwin family.
Chandler proposed to Bindi on her 21st birthday the year after and the rest is history.

We are so excited for the two of them and cannot wait to see this baby grow up to be part of the legacy her amazing father left behind.
The whole of Australia is behind you both!
