On August 11, Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell announced that Bindi is pregnant with their first child. The happy news comes just five months after the couple married during an intimate ceremony at Australia Zoo.
“Chandler and I are proud to announce that we’re expecting!” Bindi wrote in a social media post announcing her pregnancy. “It’s an honour to share this special moment in our lives with you.”
Bindi shared a photo of her and Chandler holding up a tiny khaki shirt with the Australia Zoo logo that will one day be worn by their little animal lover. Their baby girl is due to arrive in 2021.
Bindi’s family is thrilled for her and Chandler. Her mother, Terri, rejoiced on Twitter about the upcoming arrival of her first grandchild.
She also spoke about Bindi’s late father, Steve, saying “he would be so proud” of Bindi, Chandler, and their little one.
This is the best day ever! I am over the moon to announce that @BindiIrwin and @chandlerpowell9 are going to have a baby! Words cannot express the love that is filling my heart. While I wish that Steve was here to share this beautiful moment, I know that he would be so proud. pic.twitter.com/K4pTX6kIR6
