“And I think that this series does a really, really good job at introducing those ideas.”
Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell welcomed their daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, into the world on March 25 2021. In a sweet Instagram post Irwin reflected on the moment she found out she was pregnant.
“Discovering that I was going to become a mother will forever be a moment where time stood still,” she began.
“I took a test and ran into the kitchen where Chandler was making us tea. He didn’t hear me come in so I speechlessly watched him pouring the water into my most loved hedgehog mug. This news would change the course of our future in the best way.”
Bindi continued, “I started crying tears of pure joy and told my sweetheart husband that my test was positive. We were beaming while our adorable puppy Piggy sat on our feet wondering what was going on. It reminded me of just how perceptive animals are.”
