It's love! Bindi Irwin has opened up about her feelings for her 18-year-old boyfriend, US-wakeboarder Chandler Powell.
The couple – who met at Australia Zoo after being introduced by mutual friends – have been dating for 14 months.
'There is someone special in my life right now, and I'm really happy with that,' Bindi told Entertainment Tonight. 'Life is wonderful at the moment.'
While Bindi refused to name Chandler in the TV interview, she did reveal what she looks for in the perfect boyfriend.
'He’d have to be very kind and loyal,' she told ET. 'You've gotta love the outdoors... Love wildlife and have that same passion for making the world a better place.'
'Chandler and Bindi have become really close and are totally in love,' a friend reveals. 'We can see this relationship going a long way.'
