He posted a selfie of himself and Bindi sitting in the hospital bed and wrote in the caption: ‘Just wanted to write a note to my amazing wife. I had to get my tonsils out and she has been taking the best care of me.

I’m so lucky to be loved by you, [Bindi]. Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we’ve been in the hospital and I’ve been recovering.’

The beloved Aussie duo hinted at the nickname early last year during an interview with The Bump.

They revealed ‘Bunny’ was inspired by a childhood neighbor of Terri’s, 58, back in Oregon who went by the same cute name.

‘We spent a long time searching for grandma names that also had an animal link,’ Bindi told the pregnancy website.

Meanwhile, Bindi’s brother Robert Irwin, who turned 18 in December, has dubbed himself the ‘fun uncle’ or ‘funcle’.

It comes during a few weeks for the Irwin family.

He said: 'I'm so lucky to be loved by you, [Bindi].  Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we've been in the hospital and I've been recovering.'

Last week, Bindi revealed the family’s 38-year-old echidna had died.

‘Saying goodbye to our beautiful family member of 38 years,’ Bindi wrote alongside a gallery of pictures of the pet.

‘The sweetest, kindest, most wonderful echidna you ever did meet.’

She added alongside a love heart emoji: ‘Rest In Peace, angel.’

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.”

The Masked Singer Australia: Ryan Moloney revealed as first celeb

WARNING: Masked Singer spoilers below.

The new season of The Masked Singer started with a bang on Sunday night, with the first contestant revealed as an Aussie TV legend.

And after a surprisingly solid rendition of the Ed Sheeran hit Bad Habitsthe knight was unmasked as none other than veteran Neighbors actor Ryan Moloney – aka Ramsay Street legend Toadfish!

The knight’s clues had teased that he was “the closest thing Australia has to true royalty” – and we can’t argue with that. But despite his ubiquity on our screens for almost three decades, he got away with his brief stint on the show without anyone from the judging panel or seemingly any viewers guessing his true identity. With neighbors finally finishing up last week, could a new singing career be on the horizon for Ryan Moloney?

Here’s who else performed on Sunday’s premiere – and who we think they really are:

The Blowfly

In their clues package, the Blowfly was shown playing cricket, said he loves “cruising in his big V8” and proclaimed that he’s “Aussie as.” There were also a couple of references to “High Fives.”

The Blowfly then performed a gravelly rendition of Miley Cyrus’ midnight sky – and between all those ocker clues and the Barnsey-esque vocals, I’m pinning the Blowfly as former australian idol runner-up Shannon Noll – and many viewers on social media have the same idea.

The judging panel was leaning sporty though, picking Freddie Flintoff, Daniel Ricciardo and, er… Stevie Nicks (good try, Hughesy).

mirror ball

Some puzzling clues for the Mirrorball, who was shown standing in front of a Mexican flag and the number 48. She was also shown lounging on a piano adorned with framed photos of pulp fiction stars Uma Thurman and John Travolta.

Things got even trickier when the Mirrorball launched into her performance of the Olivia Newton-John classic Xanadu – sounding just like Livvy herself. Surely not?

Many viewers on social media have claimed the Mirrorball as former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton, who was previously rumored to be a contestant on this season. She can certainly sing, has Mexican heritage-and she appeared in the 2005 movie be coolstarring… Uma Thurman and John Travolta.

And diehard Pussycat Dolls fans are convinced: A top PCD fan account posted a YouTube preview of the Mirrorball’s performance several weeks ago under the title ‘MELODY THORNTON ON MASKED SINGER AUSTRALIA.’

On the judging panel, Chrissie Swan guessed Olivia Newton John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi, but I’m less convinced – Chloe is a singer but doesn’t quite have her mum’s high vocals.

Mel B seemed to have a brainwave mid-performance, insisting she “knows that voice” – she’s absolutely convinced it’s Aussie singer Samantha Jade. Given Mel B was a judge on the season of Australia’s Got Talent that Jade won, it seems like the most realistic guess from the panel.

Zombie

There’s an airplane theme to Zombie, who was shown in her clues package as an air stewardess. “I’m not as green as I used to be – or as orange. Would you care for a baked potato?” she asked. hmm. There were also references to opera singers and Wicked Witches among her clues about her.

The Zombie delivered an, ahem, limited performance of the Ava Max song Sweet But Psycho – to these ears, this seems to suggest the Zombie isn’t a professional singer – but many viewers on social media seem convinced that the Zombie is former Wiggle Emma Watkins. If so, um… first night jitters?

Chrissie Swan had other ideas though, guessing Broadway great Idina Menzel (Chrissie, I think you owe Idina an apology for that one). The rest of the panel were on the ‘non-professional singer’ wavelength though, with Mel B guessing supermodel Heidi Klum, Dave Hughes guessing Boost Juice founder Janine Allis, and Abbie guessing Aussie actress Kate Ritchie.

thong

According to the clues package, the Thong is an “Aussie icon with the background overseas,” who’s “better known for their work with M&M.” Oh, and they love fish.

Based on her performance of footloose, I’d guess the Thong is also another non-professional singer – it was a very Friday night karaoke performance. Chrissie guessed Bindi Irwin, Mel B picked surfer Stephanie Gilmore, Hughesy guessed English singer Dido (what? Why?) and Abbie guessed MasterChef and survivor star Khanh Ong.

This one’s got me stumped – it’s hard to pick when it’s clearly someone who’s not known for their singing!

And it seems there’s no real consensus among viewers on social media, with more than a few pitching their votes for Chrissie’s guess, Bindi Irwin.

The remaining five Masked Singer contestants will perform in Monday’s episode, with another celeb unmasked at the end of the night.

Bindi Irwin daughter Grace melts hearts with reaction to photo of late grandad Steve Irwin: ‘Gets me every time’

Grace Warrior Irwin Powell certainly knows who her late grandad Steve Irwin is, if an adorable new video posted by mum Bindi is anything to go by.

On Tuesday, Bindi, 24, posted a sweet video of one-year-old Grace at Australia Zoo, pointing at a poster of Steve Irwin wearing a hard hat.

“We have a little construction going on to make our Tasmanian devil habitat even more beautiful,” Bindi captioned the post.

“Grace’s favorite part?

“Visiting Grandpa Crocodile.

“All the love.”

In the video, Grace potters over to the poster of Steve as Bindi asks, “Is he here?”

“Yes,” Grace replies.

“Grandpa Crocodile, and he’s in his construction hat!” Bindi says.

“Do you love Grandpa Crocodile?”

Grace looks up at the poster, smiles and says “Yes!”

She then toddles over to another sign featuring Steve, points to it and waves.

Grace’s dad Chandler Powell, 25, took to the comments section, writing: “Her little wave gets me every time.”

Australia Zoo’s official account added: “The cutest,” with a red love heart emoji.

Steve Irwin died in 2006 when he was pierced by a string ray on the Great Barrier Reef.

“It’s like she knows him from another time,” one Bindi fan observed.

“Steve’s soul lives on through his granddaughter,” another wrote.

“Oh my goodness Bindi, this is beyond special!” said another.

“Grace Warrior’s connection and love for your dad is so evident!

“This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.”

Since Grace was born, Bindi has spoken often about how much her father Steve would have endowed on her.

“If Dad was around, honestly, we would never see her,” she told People.

“He would be in love.

“He’d just have her doing everything with him.”

Bindi’s mum Terri told Entertainment Tonight how she could already see aspects of Steve in her young granddaughter.

“I think she’s got that determination that Steve had, and that connection with wildlife,” she said.

“Because it is weird to see animals just gravitate to her.

“So she’ll go out in the morning in the stroller, and all the kangaroos just gather around her like they’re having a meeting.”

Following his death, Steve’s family, including his children Bindi and Robert, widow Terri, and son-in-law Chandler, have continued his wildlife conservation work at Australia Zoo.

‘There’s a lot of information, opinions and advice that you get, and as a new parent you go, ‘I have to follow all this,’ and you feel a pressure to try and be the perfect parent, come up with the perfect routine ,” Chandler told the publication.

‘I think the best advice I got was the fact that you can read every baby book, you can take everybody’s advice on board, but at the end of the day, you know what works for your child,’ Bindi added.

‘And that was so freeing for me.’
