Bindi Irwin and Husband Chandler Powell's Relationship Timeline

Lovebirds Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell are on a roll. In the last year, they’ve tied the knot, announced their first pregnancy and now, they’re officially parents. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, seven months after sharing the news they were expecting.

Bindi revealed they were starting their family via Instagram in August 2020. “Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021. Chandler and I are proud to announce that we’re expecting! It’s an honor to share this special moment in our lives with you,” Bindi captioned a post of the two. “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.”

In the post, Bindi noted she was still in the “first trimester” of her pregnancy, and Chandler, who also announced the great news on his Instagram account, said he’s happy to become a dad. “I cannot wait to embark on this new adventure and life chapter with my gorgeous wife, @bindisueirwin,” he said. “Bee, you’re going to be the most amazing mother.”

Bindi and Chandler’s pregnancy news came a few months after they tied the knot in a “small” wedding ceremony at the Australia Zoo gardens. But even though it was a momentous occasion, they couldn’t invite everyone on their guest list because their nuptials took place during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We wish all of our friends and family could have been there with us, however, it’s lovely that we will be able to share photos and videos,” the daughter of late star Steve Irwin explained on Instagram at the time. “Right now, we’re encouraging the world to hold onto hope and love, which will carry us forward during this profound time in history.”

Although it wasn’t what they’d hoped, the couple still had an amazing time at their wedding. Bindi said her mom, Terri Irwin, helped her get ready and her brother, Robert Irwin, walked her down the aisle. But the best part of the ceremony was when she and Chandler “lit a candle” in her father’s memory.

“We shared tears and smiles and love,” Bindi gushed. “Thankfully, since we all live at Australia Zoo as a family, we could be there for each other.”

The Free Willy: Escape from Pirate’s Cove star also credits her late dad for helping her find the guy of her dreams. “You know, Dad was so kind where he always said you had to follow your heart and do what you love and I think that that’s really wonderful,” she gushed to Closer Weekly in May 2019.

How They Met

In November 2013, Bindi and Chandler met when he visited Australia as part of a national wakeboarding competition. While touring the land, he decided to stop by Bindi’s zoo and remembers being smitten with her right away.

“It just so happened that Bindi was giving tours that day,” Chandler previously recalled to People. “I’m like, ‘Wow she is amazing.’” After they started talking, Bindi and the Florida native “hit it off right away.”

“We haven’t looked back since,” Chandler gushed.

After dating for two years, Chandler traveled all the way from Orlando, Florida, to Los Angeles, California, to be by Bindi’s side during season 21 of Dancing With the Stars.

“He’s here,” she gushed on Instagram. “Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I’m tired. You’re amazing.”

Chandler Moves to Australia

In 2018, Chandler packed his bags and moved to Australia to live with Bindi’s family. While there, he helped out at the zoo and got to know some of the animals better. “He’s done so well, I think he’s passed the Irwin family khaki test. We’ve had him jumping on crocodiles and feeding alligators,” the brunette beauty previously told People. “I think I have found my one, and I’m so lucky.”

Chandler Pops the Question

On Bindi’s 21st birthday in July 2019, Chandler asked her to marry him. “She said YES!” he gushed on Instagram. “Almost [six] years ago we met at Australia Zoo. I immediately fell head over heels for her kind and thoughtful heart that radiates so much light. Proposing in her very favorite place in the zoo, surrounded by animals, seemed like the perfect way to embark on this incredible new chapter in our lives. Bee, I love you more than anything in this world and I always will. Happy Birthday.” Aww!

They Get Married!

While gushing about her wedding day on Instagram, Bindi said, “I married my best friend. There are no words to describe the amount of love and light in my heart right now.” But before the two lovebirds tied the knot at the Australia zoo in March 2020, the Jungle Girl star shared a glimpse of her wedding dress on Instagram.

“I said yes to the dress,” she said in September 2019 while also showing off her beautiful engagement ring.

Bindi and Chandler Welcome Baby No. 1

Just one day after giving birth, Bindi and her beau announced their daughter, whom they named Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, was born on March 25, 2021. Alongside a photo with their beautiful newborn, the new mom marveled over their baby girl’s arrival.

“Celebrating the two loves of my life. Happy first wedding anniversary to my sweetheart husband and day of birth to our beautiful daughter. Grace Warrior Irwin Powell. Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light,” Bindi penned. “She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed.”

The Crikey! It’s the Irwins star also revealed Grace’s moniker was inspired by her and Chandler’s beloved family members, including her late dad, Steve. “Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s. Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior,” Bindi gushed. “Her last name is Powell, and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad. There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl.”

Bindi and Chandler are going to be the best mom and dad!
