Bindi Irwin reveals how husband Chandler Powell has supported her through endometriosis battle: 'He held my hand when I've been at my lowest'

As an ardent fan of Bindi Irwin, I am constantly inspired by her strength and resilience, especially as she navigates through life’s challenges with grace and courage. Her journey, filled with adversity yet marked by triumph, is nothing short of extraordinary.


Bindi Irwin shares that her husband, Chandler Powell, stands steadfast with her through her challenges with endometriosis.

The 26-year-old tells Nine Honey how ‘lucky’ she is to have such a ceaselessly supportive partner. 

She shared with the magazine this week, “I’m grateful every day for being able to rely on him so fully.

Experiencing an incredible sense of joy comes from having someone by your side whom you deeply cherish, and knowing that they are there for you during every twist and turn life throws at us.

Bindi continued: ‘He has held my hand when I’ve been at my lowest and never once wavered. 

One reason I found myself deeply attracted to Chandler is due to his unwavering constancy, which makes him stand out as the most reliable person I’ve encountered.

‘No matter what happens, he is strong, steady and above all, kind.’   

The pair recently revealed whether they are planning to expand their family.

On Australia Zoo’s YouTube channel, the duo was fielding queries when someone posed the question about whether they intended to have another child for their three-year-old daughter, Grace Warrior.

They frequently discuss their family intentions, and Bindi openly shared that she has strong emotions regarding this topic.

Chandler, who is 27 years old, subsequently shared: ‘Frequently, people ask us about this topic, and many of you might be aware, but Bindi had a significant health journey with endometriosis.’

‘Basically it was an absolute miracle we had Grace.

Grace brings us immense joy, and each instant spent with her is treasured. Our hearts overflow with happiness as we cherish this tiny blessing that has joined our family of three.

Afterwards, Bindi expressed gratitude for the kind-heartedness in the query, yet urged fans to exercise caution when posing personal questions.

She expressed gratitude to those interested in whether they may have another child, but also asked for sensitivity when bringing up the topic since one might not be aware of the challenges someone else is facing in their personal life.

On the surface, everything appears smooth sailing, but beneath it all, they could be navigating a tumultuous, difficult-to-imagine inner voyage.

To put it simply, although we value the curiosity and compassion in the questions we often receive, it’s important to note that this query can be quite complex for numerous individuals facing fertility challenges, such as those unable to conceive or have additional children.

As a dedicated admirer, I must share with you, my dear readers, that during our heart-to-heart, Bindi herself confided in us that Grace might very well be the sole cherished offspring for now. However, she left the door open just a crack, hinting ever so slightly that more little miracles could potentially grace their family in the future.

‘We feel very lucky to have Grace. she is our beautiful girl,’ Bindi said.

However, it’s most likely that we only have one child, yet there’s always a chance that we might be fortunate enough to welcome another baby in the future.

‘That would be incredible, but who knows?’

One fan replied in the comments applauding the couple for the way they handled the sensitive subject.

‘Thank you for the way you replied to the fertility question,’ they wrote.

‘Since I’ve faced inquiries about having children since my marriage, endured four miscarriages, and battled an autoimmune disease for a long time, it’s crucial to spread this message to those who may not realize the impact of such questions.’

They continued: ‘You can’t just assume that people can get pregnant without complications or that they haven’t already been pregnant but have lost their babies. It’s been such a tough journey and I hope people will start to think before they speak.’

Following Bindi’s open discussion about her intense struggle with endometriosis, she reminisced on the challenges she faced in getting medical professionals to acknowledge her health issue sincerely.

The conservationist shared that she had been enduring excruciating discomfort, an issue that was originally overlooked by healthcare providers.

She shared with People magazine that she underwent a comprehensive series of tests. From all the tropical diseases to Lyme disease, cancer, you can think of, she was tested for them all. Every conceivable blood test and scan were conducted on her.

Instead of understanding the issue, it leaves you puzzled. And when others suggest it’s merely mental, hormonal, or advise taking a cup of tea and resting, it intensifies your sense of isolation and despair.

Last August, Steve ‘the Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin’s daughter found herself questioning her abilities, until one point where she curled up in a ball, similar to a fetus.

The scare finally led to a test for intra-abdominal diseases, which revealed she had endometriosis.

As someone deeply interested in health matters, I’d like to share some insights about Endometriosis – a condition where the inner lining of the uterus, instead of staying within its boundaries, occasionally grows outside it, which can lead to discomfort and pain.

Symptoms can encompass a broad spectrum, with discomfort potentially occurring in locations such as the abdomen, lower back, pelvic region, and even the vagina.

After finally finding the right doctor who took her condition seriously, Bindi underwent successful surgery last year, during which surgeons found 37 lesions and a cyst on her ovary which were removed, and she emerged with a new lease on life.
