Bindi Irwin Shares An Important Reminder To People Asking If She’ll Have More Kids

Bindi Irwin recently reminded those asking if she plans to have more children that that’s a “really tricky question” for many families.

The wildlife conservationist and daughter of the late famed wildlife expert Steve Irwin discussed the topic alongside her husband, Chandler Powell, in a Q&A video posted on YouTube last week.

Irwin and Powell were reading aloud questions previously submitted to them from people online when Powell read an inquiry from someone asking if they were “planning on having another child.”

The couple, who share a 3-year-old daughter, Grace, said that they get asked about expanding their family on a “daily” basis.

Powell noted that Irwin had gone through a “big journey with endometriosis” and that having their daughter was an “absolute miracle.”

“We love Grace so much, and are reveling in every little moment we have with her, with our little miracle baby,” he said. “So we are so happy with our little family at three.”

Endometriosis is “an often-painful condition in which tissue that is similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus,” according to the Mayo Clinic, which also states that the condition could cause fertility problems.

Irwin said in the YouTube video last week that she wanted people to “remember to be careful” when you ask people about growing their families. She pointed to the fact that there are many reasons why women don’t — or choose not to — have more, or any kids at all.

“You never know what’s happening in someone’s life,” she said. “In a family’s world, everything may seem fine on the outside, and on the inside their own personal journey might’ve been filled with turmoil and challenges that you can’t even fathom.”

She continued, saying that she believed people asking whether she’ll have more kids had “good intent,” but that it’s a “really tricky question” for many people.

Irwin said that Grace will likely be the couple’s “one child,” but that they don’t know what their future holds.

“Sending all my love and hugs to everybody out there who is on their own women’s health journey,” she said. “And also let’s remember, don’t ask someone if they’re having children or more children.”
