BINDI IRWIN: MY FAMILY PAIN

THE NEW MUM AND WILDLIFE WARRIOR STEPS AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AS THE IRWIN DRAMAS ARE LAID BARE

- Jennie Noonan

Since Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell welcomed their daughter Grace Warrior on March 25 – their first wedding anniversary – the already upbeat couple have seemed happier than ever. In an exclusive interview, the pair have opened up about the joys of parenthood (see over), but now a feud in the extended Irwin family threatens to burst the couple’s blissful bubble.

The controversy kicked off on June 20, after Bindi took to social media to share a touching Father’s Day tribute to her late dad Steve Irwin, her husband and father-in-law Chris Powell. She wrote that her dad always taught her about “standing up for what I believe in”, praised her husband’s “steadfast heart”, and honoured her father-in-law for working “tirelessly for his family”.
