Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace's Birthday Has Extra Significance To Her And Husband Chandler

If you're looking for a foolproof way to ensure your spouse won't forget your wedding anniversary, you may want to take a page out of Bindi Irwin's book. Bindi, daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin, married Chandler Powell on March 25, 2020, then gave birth to the couple's first child on the exact same day just one year later on March 25, 2021. As Bindi shared on Instagram, March 25 is now the most important date on her calendar. "On this day every year we celebrate two wonderful events. Our wedding anniversary, and Grace's birthday. Our beautiful daughter was born on our first wedding anniversary (what are the chances?!)."

Powell shared his own thoughts on the significance of the special day on Instagram, writing, "I look back on this moment and see how even on March 25, 2020 when the world was shutting down we still worked tirelessly together to ensure we could get married. Fast forward to now with our incredible 5 year old, I'm somehow even more in love with you which I didn't even know was possible."

According to People, Powell and Bindi tied the knot at the Australia Zoo during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing them to cut down their guest list to just their closest family members, including Bindi's brother, Robert, her mother, Terri, and her late father's best friend. We've loved watching Bindi Irwin's complete transformation from animal-obsessed toddler to proud mom and wildlife conservationist.

For Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell, wildlife conservation is a family affair. In fact, Bindi, Chandler, and their daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, live at the Australia Zoo, which was established by Bindi's grandparents in 1970. We love that Bindi Irwin is giving her daughter the fun and free childhood she enjoyed. Grace's unique moniker reflects just how special family is to her parents. According to an Instagram post, Bindi said she and Chandler like to think of their first child as their "graceful warrior," naming her after Bindi's great-grandmother and relatives in Chandler's family dating back to the 1700s. "Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad," Bindi wrote. "Her last name is Powell just like her incredible Dada and his family." When asked about having more children in the future, Bindi Irwin had a kind but firm message for fans.

Bindi's father, Steve Irwin, died after being attacked by a stingray in 2006. Before Grace was born, Bindi and Chandler referred to her as "Baby Wildlife Warrior," paying tribute to Steve, the original "Wildlife Warrior." In an interview with The Bump, Bindi explained what that term means: "Being a Wildlife Warrior means to stand up and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves." This family of warriors continues working together to spread their message of wildlife conservation across the globe.
