Bindi Irwin gushed about her new boyfriend Chandler Powell in Australia's Telegraph Style magazine. The newly 17-year-old opened up about her new man, who is a professional wakeboarder from Florida. "I was blessed to meet Chandler and his family back in November 2013," she revealed. "We remained in touch and stayed friends. Since then, our friendship has developed into something really special."
Powell is a global ambassador for Irwin's Wildlife Warriors team. "He is passionate about wildlife and an extraordinary wakeboarder," she revealed. "We are excited to be achieving more conservation work together. I feel lucky to have him in my life."
Just last month on Bindi's 17th birthday, Powell had some kind words for his girlfriend on Instagram, that further suggested he was her new love interest about whom she had previously spoken but did not name. "Happy birthday to this gorgeous girl! Feel very blessed to have you in my life. Counting down the days until I get to see you again!" Chandler wrote on Instagram.
His post came after Irwin told Entertiainment Tonight that there was a guy in the picture, but she did not say who he was. "There is someone special in my life right now, and I'm really happy with that," she said.
