10 Sweet Pics Of Bindi Irwin And Her Wild-Child Daughter, Grace

As the daughter of legendary Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Bindi Irwin has lived her life in the spotlight. Now her daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, is following in her footsteps. Like Bindi, Grace is growing up at the Australia Zoo in Beerwah, Queensland, the zoological compound that Steve's parents founded back in the 1970s. Their life at the zoo might seem surreal to the outside world, but it's paved the way for some sweet mother-daughter moments in between all the action. 

Since Grace's birth on March 25, 2021, Bindi has opened up about how grateful she is to experience motherhood, especially amidst an ongoing battle with endometriosis. She has also spoken about the ways her own upbringing has influenced her parenting. "She has the best childhood," Bindi told SheKnows in May 2026. "Grace is a free-range kid; she just runs around and has so much fun with all of our animals." It's no wonder that the cutest photos of Bindi and Grace show the pair with their furry friends. But beyond providing content for social media, Bindi is purposefully surrounding Grace with wildlife to help shape the person she will become.

"Empathy is a learned behavior, and the more time Grace spends with animals, the more she develops this beautiful empathy for living beings, and I love that so much," Bindi revealed to the outlet. "If you have kids, take them outside, take them somewhere with animals so that they can build and expand on that kindness and empathy because it does make a difference for the rest of your life," she added. There's no doubt that Grace will make her late grandfather Steve proud in the future, but for now, she's hitting us in the feels with the adorable photos she takes with mom Bindi.

Being the daughter and granddaughter of Steve Irwin means endless cuddling opportunities with animals. In November 2024, Bindi Irwin and Grace posed with a red panda at the Australia Zoo, both looking right at home with the forest mammal. Bindi looked to be in the middle of a laughing fit while Grace, still a 3-year-old, was super comfortable as she stroked the creature's bushy tail. "Watching you and your daughter is like watching you and your father," one fan commented on the photo carousel, which summoned memories of the way Steve introduced Bindi to animals when she was a little girl. Who's cutting onions?

Growing up at Australia Zoo as Bindi Irwin did, Grace has been immersed in the legacy of Steve Irwin, who passed away in 2006. One cute snap of the mother-daughter duo, posted to Instagram in May 2026, showed the pair sharing a hug in front of Steve's famous khaki shirt and boots. These items were put on display as part of the "Croc! Lost Giants to Living Legends" exhibition at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane, Australia. "You guys are the cutest," one Instagram user wrote under the post, next to a fitting crocodile emoji.

Bindi Irwin is giving "free-range" Grace the fun and free childhood she enjoyed, making her an incredibly happy kid. In May 2026, Bindi shared a family selfie taken by her husband, Chandler Powell, at the Wheel of Brisbane. As Queensland's answer to the London Eye, the wheel gives stunning views of the eastern Australian city, but our eyes are drawn to Bindi and Grace sharing a cuddle in the glass pod. Mom, Dad, and Grace are all beaming in the super-cute pic. 

Bindi Irwin never stops herself from gushing about Grace on Instagram, letting the world know how much she loves her baby. In May 2026, she shared a throwback baby photo of her and Grace in the early days, writing in the caption, "Grace, Being your mama is the greatest gift of my entire existence. I love you with all my heart." While Bindi looks overwhelmed with love and bliss in the photo, Grace clearly feels on top of the world in her mama's arms.

In April 2026, Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell took Grace to Chandler's native Florida, where they visited the iconic Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort. In true Florida fashion, the trio got caught in the rain. But don't worry, that didn't stop Bindi and Grace from posing for a photo in front of the iconic Spaceship Earth. Rather than trying to find cover, they clearly embraced the afternoon rainstorm, with Grace even appearing to be having a little dance while the two got soaked. If that isn't Steve Irwin's zest for life coming through, we don't know what is!

Bindi Irwin has no shortage of kangaroo photos on her Instagram, but one of the cutest (and there are a lot of contenders) is this February 2025 pic showing Grace sharing a cuddle with one of the friendly marsupials. While Bindi looks on proudly, Grace appears to be in her safe space on the kangaroo's back. "Grace is truly where she is meant to be," a fan observed in the comment section. "You can see how much she loves the animals and she is so sweet. What an amazing place to raise a child."

In December 2025, Bindi Irwin, Chandler Powell, and Grace posed for the cutest family photo. The three had their heads together on the grass, while Grace took the opportunity to wrap her fingers around her eyes. "When you have a four year old, you never know how a family photo is going to turn out," Bindi admitted in the caption. "This one was taken between endless giggles and it makes my heart so happy." Beyond the wholesome factor, this pic is more proof that Bindi Irwin is absolutely stunning without makeup.

Animals aren't the only part of the Irwin legacy; this is a family of shining stars, and they introduced Grace to the lights of Hollywood in November 2025, when they went to visit Grace's uncle, Robert Irwin, on the set of "Dancing with the Stars." Grace, in a lacy blue dress, looked thrilled to be on the set, as her mom was in 2015, when she competed on the reality show. Bindi Irwin looked ecstatic to be back, laughing with her daughter for this sweet family pic with Robert, Chandler Powell, and Grace's grandma, Terri Irwin.

Halloween pumpkins aren't really an Australian tradition, but Bindi Irwin and Grace embraced the scary season the American way in 2025, during their visit to the USA with Chandler Powell. Bindi shared a carousel of photos from their trip to Underwood Family Farms, in which she and Grace had a ball in the pumpkin patch. In one photo, Grace hugs a pumpkin in front of a friendly scarecrow, while Bindi embraces her, both mama and daughter seemingly having the time of their lives. "So much happiness captured in pictures," one fan noted.

Bindi Irwin shared one of the sweetest photos of herself with Grace back in September 2025. The duo is under a stunning sunflower garland, and while Bindi smiles radiantly into the camera, Grace rests on her back, gazing at her mom lovingly. "So lucky to be this beautiful girl's mama," Bindi captioned the photo. The way she beams in the snap makes it clear that having Grace was the most pivotal moment in Bindi Irwin's complete transformation. Fans took to the comment section to gush over the gorgeous photo, with one writing, "She's a beautiful and lucky little girl to be with a family that has so much love." We couldn't have said it better.
