Both Bindi and Chandler posted a photo that featured them holding an Australia Zoo uniform fit for a baby. 

"Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021," Bindi's caption read. "Chandler and I are proud to announce that we’re expecting! It's an honor to share this special moment in our lives with you.

"We couldn't wait to share the news as this beautiful little being has become the most important part of our lives," she continued. "Your support means the world to us. Please let me know your best advice and send good vibes & prayers to our little sweetheart. Love & light."

In his post, Chandler detailed how excited he was to be a dad. 

"We're going to be parents!! We have a baby Wildlife Warrior on the way coming in 2021. Becoming a dad is the highlight of my life. I cannot wait to embark on this new adventure and life chapter with my gorgeous wife, Bindi Irwin," the 23-year-old wrote. "Bee, you're going to be the most amazing mother."

Terri Irwin commented on her daughter's pregnancy on Twitter and she noted that her late husband would be thrilled. 

"This is the best day ever! I am over the moon to announce that Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell are going to have a baby! Words cannot express the love that is filling my heart," she wrote. "While I wish that Steve was here to share this beautiful moment, I know that he would be so proud."

After getting engaged in July of 2019, Chandler and Bindi planned on having a wedding in Australia in the spring of 2020. When the coronavirus pandemic put their plans for a bigger wedding on hold, the two went ahead and got married anyway. They swapped vows on March 25, 2020 with just a few guests in attendance, including Bindi's mom, Terri Irwin, brother Robert Irwin, and her father's friend, Wes Mannion. 

"We've planned this beautiful day for nearly a year and had to change everything, as we didn't have guests at our wedding. This was a very difficult decision but [it was] important to keep everyone safe..." Bindi wrote on Instagram. "Mum helped me get ready, Robert walked me down the aisle, Chandler became my husband, and together we lit a candle in Dad's memory. We shared tears and smiles and love. Thankfully, since we all live at Australia Zoo as a family, we could be there for each other...."

Less than five months after their wedding, the pair announced their exciting baby news. Congratulations are in order for Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell!
