Bindi Irwin Fans Are Gushing Over A New Photo Of Baby Grace
The Irwin family is one of the world's favorite celebrity families. The family has always been committed to wildlife conservation but after the tragic passing of patriarch Steve Irwin in 2006, his surviving family members set out to protect animals and keep his legacy alive (via Biography).
According to Now This News, Irwin's wife Terri Irwin, and their daughter, Bindi Irwin, have continued to work with wildlife at the Australian Zoo. After the devastating fires that swept through Australia in early 2020, the family worked tirelessly to help the animals impacted by the flames. They took in over 90,000 animals that were injured during the brushfire.
In a sad Instagram post, Bindi shared, "Blossom the possum was admitted to the #AustraliaZoo Wildlife Hospital after being caught in one of the bushfires burning in other parts of Queensland," the caption read. "Devastatingly this beautiful girl didn't make it even after working so hard to save her life." It's the kind of work that would make her father proud.
Things weren't strictly tragic for the Irwin family during 2020. It was in August that Bindi announced she was expecting her first child with her husband, Chandler Powell, and fans were ecstatic (per Us Weekly).
Bindi welcomed her daughter in March 2021
In March of 2021, the 22-year-old wildlife conservationist and Powell welcomed their daughter. They named her Grace, which has a lot of meaning to both the Irwin and Powell families. Irwin shared the news in an exciting Instagram post (via NBC Los Angeles).
"Celebrating the two loves of my life. Happy first wedding anniversary to my sweetheart husband and day of birth to our beautiful daughter," Irwin shared with a photo of her daughter. "Grace Warrior Irwin Powell. Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light."
She shared the meaning of the name, adding, "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."
Fans were thrilled to see the Irwin family grow and Bindi has continued to share adorable photos of their new addition (via Country Living). Recently, she shared a photo that had fans gushing over how cute little Grace is!
Little Grace was seen posing with the family's pup
Irwin's latest Instagram post had fans captivated by how cute her daughter is. According to Delish, the tiniest Irwin is now seven months old. In the photo, she's posing with Irwin's adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, who is named Piggy.
The caption on the post reads, "Having a chat," with both the baby and puppy locking eyes. It couldn't be cuter! Fans were instantly commenting on how cute the photo was. One fan wrote, "Oh my goodness this made my Sunday!! Absolutely beautiful and adorable," while another commented on how it looked like a "fairytale setting."
Bindi wasn't the only Irwin sharing photos of adorable Grace recently. Her brother, Robert Irwin, took to Instagram to post a never-before-seen photo of Bindi and Grace together (via People). Robert shared beautiful film photos of his sister and niece on Instagram with the caption, "Home with the fam." Bindi left a comment that read, "These photos are the best."
Could Bindi be pregnant again?
Recently, rumors began swirling that Irwin and Powell were expecting their second child, just seven months after their daughter was born. The rumors started from a tabloid, according to the Australian site Now To Love. After Irwin chose to step away from social media back in June, fans started to speculate that she was doing so to hide her pregnancy.
Allegedly, a "source" close to the family said, "Bindi and Chandler knew from the get-go that they wanted a bunch of kids and they feel there's no reason to wait," they continued, "She's so happy."
However, per Daily Mail, it seems there isn't much to believe when it comes to these rumors. Irwin's social media break was likely due to backlash she received from a post about her strained relationship with her Grandfather, Bob Irwin.
In that post, she shared, "I really wish that my entire family could spend time with Grace. Unfortunately, my grandfather Bob has shown no interest in spending time with me or my family," Irwin continues, "From the time I was a little girl he has ignored me, preferring to spend time doing anything else rather than being with me. He has never said a single kind word to me personally. It breaks my heart."
She went on to share that her family still financially supports her estranged grandfather. While fans would love to see Bindi expand her family, it likely isn't happening just yet and these pregnancy rumors are just that.
