While there’s no doubt Grace Warrior inherited her wild personality from her famous Irwin family, she still loves having adventures with her dad Chandler Powell. The 3-year-old has always been a daddy’s girl — ever since she was a happy little baby! — and a new collection of photos clearly shows it.
Even though it wasn’t technically Father’s Day in their home country of Australia, Bindi Irwin posted photos of her American husband and their daughter for Father’s Day on Sunday. And Grace is beaming in every one! “Best Dad in the world,” Bindi wrote. (And she would know — her dad is the late Steve Irwin!) “We love you with all our hearts, @chandlerpowell.”
In the first photo, Powell wears his Australia Zoo khaki uniform and hat as he holds a baby Grace in his hands. She is looking open-mouthed at the camera beautiful big eyes. In another photo, he holds a baby Grace close, and they have identical smiles on their faces. There’s also a family selfie, with Grace smiling in between her parents; a picture from Grace’s first birthday in her sweet yellow gingham dress; and a picture of a toddler Grace giving her dad seashells on the beach. In one cute moment, a tiny Grace sits strapped in an itty bitty camper chair as she hangs out with her dad and her uncle Robert Irwin. In another, an older Grace stands hand in hand with her dad as they look over at a creek together. There are best friends!
“You girls are my entire world,” Powell responded to the photos. “I love you both so much. So many amazing memories in these pictures❤️”
Bindi’s mom Terri Irwin commented as well, “Happy USA Father’s Day!” Terri also shared a video on her Instagram, honoring her son-in-law. “#FathersDay Remembering Chandler’s first Father’s Day,” she captioned it. “It was fun to share everything we love about our dads!”
The video begins with a throwback video of the Crocodile Hunter, gushing about his children. “The proudest thing I’ve achieved, personally, is my children,” he says over a video of him walking with a young Bindi and Robert. The video flashes to Powell talking to his baby Grace, who was babbling away in a little koala-bear onesie on elephant sheets.
“Guys, it’s Father’s Day in America,” Terri says at one point in the video, gushing about the various dads in their life. “I lucked out with my dad, because he instilled a passion for wildlife conservation with me,” Terri said, revealing that her dad would drive a heavy haul truck and bring home “anything he saw along the road that needed help” like seagulls and ducks, and the family would rehabilitate them and release them back into the wild.
Robert and Bindi also talked about their dad, who also taught them “all about wildlife” and conservation. “Our dad was known as the most passionate wildlife conservationist and the most influential voice when it came to the protection of wildlife,” Robert said. “But, above anything, he was just the best dad.”
Bindi also gushed about how her daughter Grace now has “the best dad” in Powell. The whole video is so sentimental. “Awwww. I love this so much. Happy USA Father’s Day ❤️” Bindi commented.
