“Dancing With The Stars” Season 21 is now on its third week, and the frontrunner of the competition remains to be fan-favorite Bindi Irwin despite her young age. But, it seems the daughter of the late Steve Irwin is not that young anymore. In fact, the bubbly little girl we saw in her father’s TV shows is now a young lady who is also enjoying some romance just like most females her age.
Late last week, Derek Hough's "DWTS" dancing parter took to Instagram to share a photo of her longtime beau Chandler Powell, Us Weekly has learned.
The black and white photo shows Irwin snuggling with her boyfriend while smiling for the camera. Aside from the sweet photo, Bindi also shared how thankful she is that Powell flew to Los Angeles to show his support.
She captioned the photo: "He's here. Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I'm tired. You're amazing."
The 17-year-old "Dancing With the Stars" contender's boyfriend is reportedly a professional wake-boarder, according to Daily Mail.
Last week, Powell, who is also an ambassador for Irwin's Wildlife Warriors team, shared to his Instagram followers a snap of his ladylove wearing the silver dress she rocked during the competition's second week.
Chandler even asked his followers to vote for his girlfriend by captioning the pic: "Call 1-855-234-5604 to vote for @bindisueirwin tonight on @dancingabc !!! Absolutely smashed ACDC last night!!"
Meanwhile, it seems that Bindi and Chandler frequently endure being apart. According to Daily Mail, while Irwin is based in Queensland, Powell is oftentimes traveling across the globe for his career.
Interestingly, the young couple is passionate with what they share that aside from communicating via social messaging apps, they also write letters to each other.
