Bindi Irwin writes a ‘message of gratitude’ to husband Chandler Powell

Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell are set to welcome their first child next year.

The 22-year-old was feeling emotional on Sunday as the year comes to a close, sharing a moving message for her 24-year-old husband.

The Wildlife Warrior posted a photo to Instagram, showing the couple cuddled up close together, holding their dog, Piggy the Cavalier King Charles spaniel.

She wrote in the caption: ‘As we get ready to embark on the New Year, I wanted to write a message of gratitude for my husband.

‘Over 7 years ago I fell in love with his kind heart and smile that lights up the world.

‘In 2021, I will get to watch this incredible man also become the most amazing father to our beautiful daughter. The love I have for my family is infinite.’

On Friday, Bindi and Chandler celebrated their last Christmas together before they welcome their daughter in the New Year.
