How did Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell meet?

Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell’s love story began in 2013 when Powell, a competitive wakeboarder from the United States, visited the Irwin’s Australia Zoo.

Powell’s admiration for Bindi’s work with wildlife sparked a connection, and they soon began dating. Their relationship blossomed over their newfound shared interests and mutual passion for wildlife, with Powell now participating in the Irwin family’s crocodile shows and zoo performances.

How many children does Bindi Irwin have?

Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler share one child, daughter Grace.

Responding to fan questions regarding their growing family, the eldest Irwin child shared that the couple intends to raise their daughter as an only child.

“A lot of you may already know, [Bindi] went through a big journey with endometriosis and basically, it was a miracle that we had Grace… We love Grace so much and are revelling in every little moment we have with her, without miracle baby, so we are so happy with our little family of three,” Powell shared in a Q&A on Australia Zoo’s YouTube channel.

Continuing their reflection, Irwin also asked followers to refrain from asking further questions about the couple’s family plans, adding, “I do just want to send it out there that remember to be careful when you ask this question because you never know what’s happening in someone’s life. In a family’s world, everything may seem fine on the outside, and on the inside, their own personal journey might have been filled with turmoil and challenges that you can’t even fathom.”

“We feel very lucky for Grace. She is our beautiful girl, but she will probably be our one child.”
