Bindi Irwin and husband Chandler Powell are expecting their first child together
- On Tuesday, wildlife conservationist Bindi Irwin revealed that she and Chandler Powell are expecting their first child together, due in 2021.
- The pair have been together for several years, got engaged in July 2019, and wed during a small ceremony at the Australia Zoo in March 2020.
Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell revealed that they're expecting their first child together following their wedding in March.
"Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021," Irwin captioned a photo posted on Tuesday of her and her husband holding a baby shirt with the Australia Zoo logo on it, the zoo owned and operated by the Irwin family.
The 22-year-old wildlife conservationist and daughter of late legend Steve Irwin continued: "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."
Irwin added: "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."
Powell shared a similar sentiment on his Instagram, saying: "Becoming a dad is the highlight of my life."
The longtime couple has been open with fans about their relationship milestones.
Powell proposed to Irwin on her 21st birthday in July 2019 after dating for almost six years. They got married during a "small ceremony" at the Australia Zoo in March 2020.
Irwin wore a white gown with long lace sleeves and a tulle skirt while Powell was dressed in a light blue shirt and khaki pants.
"There are no words to describe the amount of love and light in my heart right now," Irwin captioned a photo of the couple on their wedding day.
She also revealed that they planned their nuptials for almost a year, but changed their plans due to the spread of the coronavirus. Specifically, they couldn't include guests at their wedding.
The bride was escorted down the aisle by younger brother Robert Irwin and they lit a candle in honor of their late father.
Weeks after exchanging vows, Irwin gushed about her "soulmate" and their "unconditional love."
"A love like this is meant to be felt, in every part of our soul," she wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. "Marriage marks an incredible beginning and yet I feel like we've already experienced so much life together."
Irwin continued: "We say all the time that it feels like we've been married for years. We've been a team through life's wonderful highs and difficult lows. You've held my hand as we've run towards every new adventure."
