They are the wildlife lovers who grew up oceans apart, but were destined to meet through their mutual love for animals and conservation.
And on Tuesday, Bindi Irwin posted a heartfelt throwback photo of her American beau Chandler Powell, revealing the couple were connected years before they even met.
Taken to Instagram, the 19-year-old posted a picture of Chandler (now 21-years-old) as a child, holding a copy of her late father Steve Irwin’s The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course movie.
