Bindi Irwin shared a gushing tribute to mark her husband Chandler Powell's 26th birthday.
The daughter of wildlife legend Steve Irwin took to social media to share her pride, uploading a gallery of family photos to celebrate the occasion.
The 24-year-old wrote: "Our family. My world. November 14 is one of my favourite days of the year, celebrating my incredible husband's birthday.
"Chandler, you are the strongest, kindest and most selfless man I have ever known. I wish I could find a way to express how much you mean to me. I love you in every way, for all of my days. For me and Grace, our sun doesn't just rise and set with you, you ARE our sunshine. Happy birthday to the very best."
Bindi and Chandler share one-year-old daughter Grace. Among the images uploaded was a sweet snap of the trio basking in the sunshine while enjoying a dip in the sea at the beach. Another showed the three posing in a heartwarming snap as they donned their Australia Zoo uniforms.
And a third showed Chandler and baby Grace setting up camp on fold-up chairs beside the lake.
The post was met with a gushing reply by Chandler in the comments section. He wrote: "Your kind words mean so much. I’m grateful for my girls every single day. I love you both."
And fans of the family were quick to respond too, with one user writing: "100% convinced Steve sent him to you. He found the most wonderful man that fills your heart with peace & love & said “that’s the man that’ll take care & cherish my daughter.” Happy Birthday Chandler."
Another replied: "Watching you guys I can only wish to see my kids find their soulmates and be happy as you are. Love and blessings from Chicago. Happy Birthday Chandler, keep on that beautiful smiles of yours forever."
Bindi and Chandler got married in secret at Australia Zoo in 2020. They met in 2013 when the American professional wakeboarder was visiting the country for a wakeboarding competition and opted to visit the Irwin-run zoo.
Fate saw that Bindi was one of the tour hosts that day and the pair seemed to it off instantly and went on a date a few weeks later.
