Remembering Steve Irwin
Now, Steve Irwin, the world-famous "Crocodile Hunter," tragically passed away in 2006 when Bindi was just 8 years old. Since then, his children, Bindi and Robert, along with their mom Terri Irwin, have kept his legacy alive in the most beautiful ways. They’ve continued to honor his memory by dedicating their lives to conservation efforts and spreading his message of love for wildlife.
Special Wedding Plans
While Robert, who is 15, will be walking his big sister down the aisle, Bindi has other plans for the father-daughter dance. "I think, if I was going to do a dance, it would be with my mom," she revealed. "My mom and I are so close. She’s my pillar of strength in life and I love her beyond description. So I think, when the time comes, Robert will walk me down the aisle, [Chandler and I] will have our wonderful moment and I’ll have my dance with mom. I think that would be wonderful." It's such a sweet and thoughtful way to include her mom, Terri, in this special day.
Bindi also shared how she and her little brother have always turned to their mother, who is now 55, for advice when it comes to love. "She said to me a few months ago, she said, 'Your dad and I used to always talk about what makes a perfect marriage, or a really wonderful marriage, and what’s interesting is that for us, it was kind of that feeling of comfort.' So you know, your relationship can be this wonderful, exciting adventure, but you want to find someone who, at the end of the day, you’re really comfortable with." It’s advice that clearly resonates deeply with Bindi.
