“Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021,” Bindi gushed. “It’s an honor to share this special moment in our lives with you.” Though she was still in her first trimester, Bindi wanted her fans to be a part of their journey from the very beginning. “We couldn’t wait to share the news as this beautiful little being has become the most important part of our lives,” she shared. “Your support means the world to us.”
Throughout her pregnancy, Bindi and Chandler — who tied the knot in March 2020 — kept their followers updated on how their baby girl was developing. A month before her arrival, Bindi expressed her gratitude on Instagram. “Sharing our deepest gratitude to YOU reading this message as we get ready for our daughter to arrive. It means the world to us,” she wrote.
“Baby Wildlife Warrior is already so loved and we are eternally grateful,” Bindi added, emphasizing the overwhelming love they already felt for their little one. It's clear that Bindi’s late father, Steve Irwin, would be beyond proud of the legacy his family continues to build.
