Steve Irwin's daughter, Bindi Irwin, has previously announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend, Chandler Powell. Amidst the couple's busy wedding prep, rumors have been circulating that they have called the wedding off because of Irwin's family drama.
Woman's Day reported that Bindi is "cracking" under the stress of her own family drama. The outlet claimed there had been an ongoing major drama with the family of the late wildlife expert and conservationist Steve Irwin, and it concerns his father.
, Bindi's grandfather, Bob, will not be invited to her wedding next year. Bob has been estranged from his grandchildren and the rest of Steve's family since he left the Australia Zoo in 2008. He founded the zoo with his wife, Lyn, and managed it with his son, Steve. The Crocodile Hunter star worked at the zoo until his death in 2006.
Gossip Cop noted that there could be some truth about the family drama over Bob, but it may not be enough for the couple to not push for their wedding. The publication added that there are no signs that Bindi and Chandler are calling off their wedding.
In fact, both have been consistency expressed their commitment and love to each other. Bindi recently posted on Instagram a sweet message to her fiancé along with a photo of them together which Chandler reciprocated with an equally heartwarming message.
Irwin and Powell have been together since 2013 and got engaged in July. The couple has yet to announce their wedding date, but they have been keeping their fans updated about their wedding preparations.
Bindi recently shared a couple of photos of her and the former professional wakeboarder of their wedding cake testing experience. In late September, Irwin also revealed on Instagram that she had already picked out her wedding gown. She shared a photo of her white lace sleeve dress along with her custom-made engagement ring.
The alleged drama in the Irwin family could have stemmed from Bindi's statement on who will take his father's role of walking her down the aisle. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight following her engagement, Steve's daughter said she wants his brother, Robert, to be the one who will walk with her to meet her husband-to-be at the altar.
Meanwhile, the young couple revealed that it would be a "wild" wedding as they will pay tribute to Steve Irwin on their nuptials. The big eco-inspired day will take place at the Australia Zoo, and their animals will witness their exchange of vows. On top of that, Bindi said they are also thinking about having a few koalas walking down the aisle, and Robert's pug Stella could be their ring bearer.
