Bindi Irwin reunited with her long-distance boyfriend for the holidays, and the photos are melting our hearts
Ready for some romance? Dancing With the Stars champion Bindi Irwin reunited with her long-distance boyfriend over the holidays, and based on the pictures, the two of them are crazy in love. The daughter of the late Steve Irwin started dating boyfriend Chandler Powell back in mid-to-late 2015, and it seems obvious that these two have staying power.
In early December, the two decided to give long distance a shot. Irwin stayed in Australia to work at her family’s zoo, and Powell went back to the United States. Of course, the decision wasn’t an easy one.
"Thank you for everything, you always make me smile, no matter how far apart we may be," Irwin wrote in an Instagram caption right before he left. "Have fun while you're away, go find lots of manatees in Florida for me! I miss you so much already. You really do mean the world to me."
The two lovebirds reunited for the new year, with a fun trip to Tasmania.
They look so happy to be back together!
Prior to the new year starting, Irwin shared a photo of the two enjoying some breakfast pie together.

They also share a mutual love of animals — an interest that her father would surely be so proud of.
Powell, who’s 20, is a professional wakeboarder. According to Irwin, she met him back when he was only 16. While they haven’t been dating for an incredibly long time, they still have a history that can’t be beat.
These two are so vocal over their love, that we truly wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to pop the question anytime soon. Or at least gift her with a promise ring, proving that even distance won’t be able to tear them apart. They might be incredibly young, but hey — sometimes when you know, you just know.
