Bindi Irwin Makes Her First Public Appearance With Boyfriend Chandler Powell! Who Is He?

Bindi Irwin is in love! She made her first public red carpet appearance with her boyfriend Chandler Powell at the CBS Studios in Los Angeles and the two look very happy together.

Chandler, 18, is a wakeboarder who was raised in Florida. They met in November 2013 and have maintained a long distance relationship while she trains for Dancing With The Stars in California.

They both share a love for wildlife conservation so we’re sure her dad, Steve Irwin, would approve!

Powell spoke to Us Weekly about his girlfriend. He said, “Bindi is crushing it and I loved seeing the whole show! I loved seeing everyone dance. I expected her to do really well but she is exceeding my expectations! I am really proud of her."

Bindi, 17, has been nursing a foot injury and said Chandler been helping her recover. “He's so cute! Every night I come home and he's like, 'Here's what we're going to do: you're going to sit down here, put this ice on it...' And it's so cold I'm going, 'No! Get it off, get it off!' He's like, 'No, you have to have it 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. And then I'll make you a hot cup of tea and I'll hug you, so the rest of you will be warm, just not your foot!'" she said. How cute!!
