Bindi Irwin has announced the gender of her first child in an emotional social media post.
The 22-year-old daughter of late wildlife legend Steve Irwin announced that she was expecting her first child with hubby Chandler Powell in August, just five months after the pair tied the knot in an Australian Zoo during lockdown.
Now, the happy couple have shared another exciting update on their baby joy by revealing the gender of their little bundle.
Taking to Instagram to reveal the exciting news, Bindi gushed that she was over the moon to be welcoming a little baby girl into her life.
Alongside a sweet photo of herself and her beau cuddling a Tortoise while holding their baby’s sonogram, Bindi broke the news that she and Chandler are expecting a daughter.
The wildlife conservationist penned: “Baby girl, you are our world.
“Our beautiful daughter is now about the same size as a hatchling Aldabra tortoise and is as healthy as can be.
“We can’t wait for her arrival next year.”
Bindi and Chandler announced their pregnancy news in August with another Instagram post, where they both beamed from ear-to-ear while holding a tiny Australia Zoo uniform.
"Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021," the happy couple wrote.
"Chandler and I are proud to announce that we're expecting! It's an honour to share this special moment in our lives with you."
"Though I'm still in my first trimester, we really want you to be part of our journey from the beginning of this new life chapter.
“We couldn't wait to share the news as this beautiful little being has become the most important part of our lives. Your support means the world to us.
"Please let me know your best advice and send good vibes & prayers to our little sweetheart. Love & light.
The pair tied the knot on March 25 this year at Australia Zoo where they first met.
Their wedding ceremony was rushed forward and limited to only six guests to beat the curfew imposed by the Australia Governement during the coronavirus pandemic.
The stunning ceremony featured many touching tributes to Bindi's late dad Steve Irwin, who died in 2006 from a stingray attack while filming.
Bindi met Chandler, who hails from Florida, when he visited Australia Zoo in 2013.
