“Just a note to my amazing wife. I had to get my tonsils out and she has been taking the best care of me,” Powell, 25, said in a Twitter post.
“I’m so lucky to be loved by you, @BindiIrwin.”
The conservationist’s husband went on to thank his mother-in-law Terri Irwin, 58, for taking care of the couple’s 16-month-old daughter Grace Warrior Powell.
“Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we’ve been in the hospital & I’ve been recovering,” he wrote.
Bindi, 24, was quick to reply to her husband’s message, commenting, “The greatest husband. Most amazing Bunny. Love you beyond words @chandlerpowell9 & @TerriIrwin.
“Go team… tonsils?” she said.
Alongside Bindi, other comments wished the father-of-one a “speedy recovery” and that he “heals quickly and painlessly.”
Relationship timeline
Bindi and Chandler, who is originally from the US, met when he went to Australia Zoo while in Australia for a wakeboarding competition.
It so happened that Bindi was giving the tours that day.
Bindi went on to post about their meeting at the time, writing on Instagram: “Legendary wakeboarder Chandler Powell and his beautiful family came into @AustraliaZoo yesterday. Wonderful Wildlife Warriors!”
After years of a long-distance relationship, Powell moved to Australia in 2018 and proposed to Bindi the following year.
They married in March 2020 at Australia Zoo and welcomed Grace exactly a year later.
‘sweetest, kindest’
Powell’s tonsillectomy comes a week after the family farewelled its beloved pet echidna, a “family member of 38 years”.
Bindi announced the news on Instagram with a series of photos of the Irwin family and the echidna, which was part of the family before she and her brother Robert were born.
“Saying goodbye to our beautiful family member of 38 years,” she said on Thursday.
“The sweetest, kindest, most wonderful echidna you ever did meet. Rest In Peace, angel.”
The echidna can be seen in the first photo taken of Bindi and Chandler in 2013.
Soon after Bindi shared the news, Robert, 18, reposted the photos with a broken heart emoji.

Meanwhile, Bindi has celebrated her 24th birthday with her family, sharing photos on Instagram.
Her caption began: “24, the last year has been filled with enormous growth, unpredictable/ challenging times, and above all, love beyond my wildest dreams.
“Without them realizing, my sweet family has given me the greatest gifts this year through their extraordinary actions each and every day.
“My in-laws, the gift of no distance standing in the way of family bonds,” she said at the time.
Chandler moved away from his parents Chris and Shannon to marry Bindi in Queensland.
Due to COVID restrictions, his parents were unable to make the 2020 wedding and much of Grace’s first year.
Bindi continued, “My mum, the gift of perseverance, strength, and a shoulder to lean on. My brother, the gift of enthusiasm for life and remembering not to sweat the little things.
“My husband, the gift of steady support and infinite kindness.
“My darling daughter, the gift of finding beauty in all things and running towards happiness (and bubbles, which are the same thing to her) with an open heart,” she continued.
“I’m grateful for another trip around the sun and another year to do my best making difference in this world,” Bindi said.
“Thank you to everyone who is part of my journey, I’m tremendously grateful for you.”
