Bindi Irwin, the 21 year-old daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, just announced that she is engaged to her longtime Chandler Powell.
Chandler, 22, reportedly proposed to Bindi on her 21st birthday on Wednesday, and she took to Instagram to reveal the good news to her fans.
“July 24th 2019 ❤️ On my birthday I said ‘yes’ and ‘forever’ to the love of my life,” she wrote. “Chandler, close to 6 years ago I fell in love with you and every day since has been a whirlwind of adventure and true happiness. I’m so looking forwarding to spending our forever together as your wife. Here’s to a lifetime of friendship, purpose and unconditional love. — Now let’s get married already!”
Chandler also took to Instagram to gush about the engagement.
“She said YES! ❤️? Almost 6 years ago we met at Australia Zoo,” he wrote. “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.”
Bindi’s mother Terri took to Twitter to express her excitement by posting a photo of the happy couple along with her younger son Robert.
“Best day ever! Chandler asked and beautiful @BindiIrwin said yes,” Terri tweeted. “I am so very happy, and I know Steve would be too. Congratulations!!”

Bindi could not help but also reveal details about her ring to her fans.
“My ring features a lab grown diamond and is made with rose gold recycled metal,” she said. “Chandler was incredibly thoughtful when he chose it, the ring captures the essence of who I am (with its vintage flare) and our life together, with the twisted band and scattered diamonds.”
We wish Bindi and Chandler the best of luck! Find out more about their engagement below.
