Yesterday, we reported that Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” himself Steve Irwin, had given birth to a baby girl. Now, Steve’s widow Terri is speaking out to say that he would be “beyond proud” of their 22 year-old daughter becoming a mother.
“Love is not a big enough word. My heart is so incredibly happy. And I know that Steve would be beyond proud,” Terri tweeted. “Grace is the next generation to continue his mission and message of conservation. She chose her parents wisely. Bindi and Chandler are already the best parents ever!”
Bindi replied to the tweet by saying, “We love you beyond words.”
We love you beyond words.

This comes after Bindi took to Instagram to announced the birth of her daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell.
“March 25, 2021. 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,” Bindi wrote. “Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light. 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.”
“Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad,” she added. “There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed.”

Last month, the Irwin family told Entertainment Tonight that Steve would be “over the moon” about becoming a grandfather.
“He would’ve been a good, good grandpa. Yeah, he really would’ve been,” Bindi expressed. “I don’t think we would’ve ever seen our daughter. He would’ve just whisked her away into the zoo and it would’ve been perfect. But it is so nice that we’ll be able to introduce her to her grandfather through all of the documentaries. It’s really special.”
“He’d be over the moon,” Terri said. “I will say one thing for sure is you would never have to wonder what he would’ve worn during any of the milestones. He would’ve worn khaki to the wedding, khaki to everything.”
