The 22-year-old conservationist took to social media on Friday (04.06.21) to heap praise on her parents – mother Terri Irwin, and late father Steve Irwin – on what would have been their 29th wedding anniversary.
She wrote alongside a throwback image of the couple: “Soulmates. Happy Anniversary to my sweetheart parents. Your love is the stuff of miracles. (sic)”
And Terri – who wed Steve in 1992 – seemed touched by her daughter’s words, as she took to the comments to thank Bindi for her post.
She commented: "Thank you @BindiIrwin. Today marks 29 years since I married your dad. He was a lot of amazing things, but most of all he was fun. Really, truly fun! (sic)”
Bindi's brother Robert Irwin, 17, also paid tribute to his mother and father.
Posting a photo of Steve with a broken foot being pushed in a wheelbarrow by Terri, the teenager wrote: "Happy anniversary, Mum and Dad. (This is my favourite photo ever). (sic)”
The ‘Crocodile Hunter’ star tragically passed away in 2006 when he was pierced through the heart by a stingray barb while filming a documentary.
And Terri previously said she would never date again, because she considers Steve to be her “soulmate” and knows no other relationship would come close.
She said: “I’m just lonely for Steve. I feel that we had that soulmate thing. And in the 10 years since, I haven't dated or even thought about it. Because I'm not afraid to be on my own.
“It’s just really hard not having Steve. I'm just lonely for Steve if that makes sense.
“I always felt with Steve, if I hadn't married Steve I wouldn't have gotten married.”
