Exclusive: TheIrwins detail 'incredibly stressful' time running the zoo amid COVID-19.
, Bindi and Chandler’sChandler Powell, Bindi Irwin, Terri Irwin, and Robert IrwinBindi, Robert and Chandler stepped up to help you take care of the zoo. What makes you most proud of them at the moment?I think I am most proud of the way Robert, Bindi, and Chandler all worked to help out at the zoo, and also to help me. Sometimes after a sleepless night of worrying, their love and encouragement really made everything better, and gave me the strength to carry on.
Why did you decide to move forward with your wedding during the pandemic? Did you consider postponing it?After being together for almost seven years, we were both ready to be married. Postponing the wedding was something neither of us wanted, in fact we moved the wedding day earlier! Mine and Bindi’s family played a huge part in encouraging us to get married. They all supported us and helped us to feel comfortable with our decision to get married.
You were overcome with emotion when Chandler surprised you with a picnic on what was supposed to be your honeymoon. What are you most grateful for when it comes to Chandler?Our honeymoon certainly wasn’t what we had originally planned. It was an incredibly stressful time as Australia Zoo was flung into lockdown and we had no idea if or when our doors would be open again. It was heartbreaking and scary for all of us.
You were a fan of Steve Irwin’s work when you were young, and now you’re part of the family and helping to keep Steve’s dreams alive. Does it feel like a full circle moment?Steve was one of my biggest inspirations growing up. Watching his documentaries encouraged me to love and appreciate all wildlife, big, small, scaly, and fluffy. When I visited Australia for the first time, of course Australia Zoo was at the top of my list of places to visit and that’s when Bindi and I met.
