Reports Bindi Irwin 'struggling' with Robert's new relationship

Bindi Irwin is reportedly 'struggling' with her brother Robert Irwin's new relationship with girlfriend, Rorie Buckley.

Apparently, Bindi is 'terrified' the new couple will take over Australia Zoo, with New Idea claiming the 25-year-old hasn't impressed that Rorie is taking her spotlight.

"She is struggling with the new belle of the Irwin ball," the insider reportedly said. "Rorie's been taking every bug, critter and eight-legged freak in her stride - she's completely unflappable."

They added, "Bindi knows Robert and Rorie present an attractive package for TV producers and offers that may have previously come her way may go in his direction - and this could extend to one day being in charge of the family's prized Australia Zoo."

We might be inclined to take this 'insider's' quote with a grain of salt, however, given Bindi seems entirely positive about her brother's new love publicly.

When Robert made his relationship Instagram official, Bindi commented, "❤️ Love you both!"

The supportive older sister has also commented on Rorie's snaps in the past, writing, "You guys 💛💛💛."

Robert also opened up to E! News last year about Bindi 'pressuring' him to get a girlfriend to take the focus off her and her love life.

“It's pretty funny because, of course, my sister has gotten married and had a kid, and there's always a lot of rumours that go around,” the then-18-year-old said. “‘Bindi's having a second kid’ or ‘they're having triplets.’

“There's always so many crazy things that happen, so Bindi always says, ‘Robert, it's your turn now. You gotta find someone to take the heat off me!’”
