Bindi's mother, Terri Irwin, shared a photo with the two and the baby uniform as well, expressing her own excitement over becoming a grandmother.
"This is the best day ever! I am over the moon to announce that @BindiIrwin and @chandlerpowell9 are going to have a baby," she wrote. "Words cannot express the love that is filling my heart. While I wish that Steve was here to share this beautiful moment, I know that he would be so proud."
The late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin died in 2006 at the age of 44 after a stingray attack. Bindi was just 8 when he died. Since then, she and the rest of the Irwin family have kept his legacy alive by continuing his love of conservation and working at the Australia Zoo.
