Dancing With the Stars favorite Bindi Irwin has been gushing about her boyfriend Chandler Powell on the show each week, but is she competing just to learn how to wedding dance? A source confirmed to OKMagazine.com that the late Crocodile Hunter’s daughter is ready to race to the altar!
The source said that wedding talk is heavily on the agenda for both Bindi, 17, and Chandler, 18, who started dating just a few months ago.
“Everyone in their worlds, from Bindi’s mom Terri Irwin to Chandler’s family in Florida, would love to see these two get engaged,” the source said. “They’re just so sweet together!”
The insider added that Chandler, who met Bindi in Australia during a visit to the zoo about a year ago, “adores her and has already asked Terri for permission to propose.”

However, Bindi has joked that her late father, Steve Irwin, would have been much more strict about her dating—and getting hitched! “Dad always said you can't date until you're 40 and he has to be able to swim across our largest crocodile pond before he can go out with you,” she joked.
But a wedding may be not far away! The insider added that it’s “just a matter of time before he puts a ring on her finger.” Could there be yet another DWTS proposal in the future?!
