Bindi Irwin urges fans to stop asking one very personal question: 'Really hard'
The Wildlife Warrior and her husband Chandler Powell have shared a heartfelt plea to fans.
She’s part of one of the most beloved families in the world, so it’s no surprise that Bindi Irwin is often asked about working with her brother Robert, her relationship with her husband Chandler Powell, and her memories of her late father Steve. However, the Wildlife Warrior has now requested that fans stop asking her one very personal question about her famous family.
During a Q&A on the Australia Zoo YouTube channel on Thursday, Bindi made a heartfelt plea requesting that her followers stop questioning whether she and Chandler plan on having more children. The couple, who are parents to two-year-old Grace Warrior, said they’re asked the question “daily, if not more”.
“I really appreciate everybody who's curious to see if we will have another child, but I do just want to send it out there that remember to be careful when you ask this question because you never know what's happening in someone's life, in a family's world,” she said.
“Everything may seem fine on the outside and on the inside their own personal journey might have been filled with turmoil and challenges that you can't even fathom.”

While she understands people have good intentions when asking about her family, Bindi explained that it’s a “tricky question” and confirmed they likely won’t have any more kids.
“We feel very lucky to have Grace, she is our beautiful girl, but she will probably be our one child,” she said. “So she will be our one child, but you never know. Maybe we will be blessed with another little one down the road, that would be incredible, but who knows?
“Sending all my love and hugs to everybody out there who is on their own women's health journey. And also, let's remember, don’t ask someone if they're having children or more children because you don't know what's happening behind those closed doors.”
Bindi's secret health struggle
Chandler also reminded viewers that Bindi went through “a big journey with endometriosis” and it’s an “absolute miracle” that they had Grace.
“We love Grace so much and are revelling in every little moment we have with her, with our little miracle baby. So we are so happy with our little family of three,” he said.

Bindi revealed in March 2023 that she had undergone major surgery after a secret 10-year battle with endometriosis. The conservationist said that the chronic illness, which is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of your uterus grows elsewhere, had caused her “insurmountable fatigue, pain and nausea”.
She shared the news on Instagram alongside an emotional caption which marked the first time she had ever spoken about her diagnosis.
