Bindi Irwin baby: Fans spot another clue she has already given birth

Eagle-eyed fans already suspect Bindi Irwin has secretly given birth ahead, after noticing a ‘bump update’ she tweeted on Tuesday was actually a month old.

And the 22-year-old has now seemingly left another clue that she’s welcomed her daughter ahead of her late March/early April date.

The zookeeper posted an Instagram selfie on Wednesday with her husband, Chandler Powell, and his parents, whom she referred to as ‘amazing grandparents’.

‘March is birthday month for these lovelies. Thinking of my mother-in-law and father-in-law, always,’ Bindi’s caption read.

‘Amazing grandparents, fantastic human beings. Missing them during the pandemic and can’t wait to be reunited again,’ she added.

While the caption could be a clue Bindi has given birth, it should be noted that Chris and Shannan Powell did recently become first-time grandparents when Chandler’s sister-in-law, Kristin, gave birth last month.

Irwin’s in-laws are based in Florida and are unable to travel to Australia due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. 

Bindi and Chandler are yet to announce their daughter’s arrival, but many fans are convinced Bindi has already given birth.

The wildlife warrior shared a ‘bump update’ on Twitter on Tuesday, but the photo appears to have been taken a month ago.  

The image shows Bindi and Chandler, 24, posing with her mother, Terri, and younger brother, Robert, on the grounds of Australia Zoo in Queensland.

Her caption states the couple are still ‘waiting’ for the arrival of their daughter. 

But in the photo, she and Chandler are wearing the exact same outfits they were pictured wearing as they strolled through Australia Zoo’s car park on February 19 – right down to the socks, shoes and Chandler’s wristwatch.

This suggests Bindi’s Twitter ‘update’ on Tuesday was actually from a month ago, and the fact she didn’t post a more recent photo hints she may have already given birth.

Bindi and Chandler may be keeping the child’s arrival under wraps so they can enjoy their first few days as parents in private.

Alternatively, they could be protecting a magazine or TV deal. 

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Australia Zoo for comment. 

Bindi and Chandler announced their baby news in August, and revealed the following month they were expecting a daughter. 

Earlier this month, Bindi shared a glimpse of her daughter’s nursery, after hiring artist Maryanne Oliver paint native animals on the walls.

‘Thank you so much to our friend Maryanne for this amazing painting in our daughter’s Australia Zoo nursery. She’s going to love it!’ she wrote on Instagram.

The colourful mural included crocodiles, galahs, cockatoos and, of course, koalas.

Bindi told The Bump last month that her late father, Steve Irwin, had inspired her child’s nickname, Baby Wildlife Warrior.

‘My dad was the first person to create the term Wildlife Warrior,’ she explained, adding that Steve would have made an excellent grandfather. 

‘My dad would have been the best grandfather,’ she said. ‘I always joke that if he was still here we’d never see our baby because he’d take her on all kinds of adventures!’ 

Bindi said she was looking forward to sharing her father’s legacy of conservation with her daughter when she’s old enough to understand it.

Steve died in September 2006 at the age of 44 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming a documentary in Batt Reef, Queensland.

Bindi also said her mother, Terri, was looking forward to becoming a grandmother and will go by the name ‘Bunny’ once the child arrives.
