Sensational claims Bindi Irwin, 22, is ‘PREGNANT with a boy’ just four months after welcoming daughter Grace Warrior

A tabloid magazine has claimed Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell are expecting their second child, just four months after welcoming daughter Grace Warrior.

Bindi, the 22-year-old daughter of late conservationist Steve Irwin, is said to be ‘walking on air’ after learning of her pregnancy, Woman’s Day reported on Monday.

The article states her break from social media last month was to ‘hide her pregnancy’ – although she claimed at the time she was logging off to focus on her mental health.

‘Bindi and Chandler knew they wanted a bunch of kids and they feel there’s no reason to wait,’ a source told the publication. 

Bindi is apparently convinced she’s having a baby boy this time around, the insider claimed, and will honour her late Crocodile Hunter father by naming him Steve.

Another source alleged the young couple are considering a move to Oregon – where Bindi’s mother Terri hails from – in pursuit of a more ‘peaceful life’.

‘It has the added benefit of being a coast-to-coast flight for Chandler’s parents, who deserve to know Grace. Chandler wants his daughter to have dual citizenship, and living in America would help that along,’ they said.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Australia Zoo for comment.

The Irwin family feud was blasted wide open last month, after Bindi spoke about her strained relationship with her grandfather Bob, 82, in a scathing Facebook post.

She sensationally claimed Bob – who is Steve’s father – had shown ‘no interest in spending time with me or my family’.

‘I really wish that my entire family could spend time with Grace. Unfortunately, my grandfather Bob has shown no interest in spending time with me or my family,’ she claimed. 

Bindi went on to allege that Bob had ‘returned gifts I’ve sent after he opened them’ and ignored any letters sent from her.

‘From the time I was a little girl he has ignored me, preferring to spend time doing anything else rather than being with me,’ she continued.

‘He has never said a single kind word to me personally. It breaks my heart.’

She went on to say that her mother Terri Irwin still writes to him and sends birthday cards and Christmas gifts, but claims they have received no reply.

‘We have also been his financial support since 1992 when he returned from Australia Zoo, sending him funds every week,’ she added.

‘We built him a house on a beautiful property and will always do our best to ensure his wellbeing.

‘I hope everyone remembers to be kind to one another but most of all care for your own mental health. I have struggled with this relationship my entire life and it brings me enormous pain.’

Dispute: Following her harsh post, members of Bob’s inner circle fired back at Bindi. Pictured: Terri Irwin with her children, Bindi and Robert, alongside Bob Irwin Snr (right) at a memorial for the late Steve Irwin at Australia Zoo in Queensland on September 20, 2006

Following her harsh post, members of Bob’s inner circle fired back at Bindi.

Bethany Wheeler, another granddaughter of Bob’s by marriage, declared on Facebook: ‘The time has come to speak up.’

Ms Wheeler, whose stepmother Mandy is Bob’s daughter, defended her grandfather’s character, calling him ‘one of the most genuinely beautiful humans on this planet’ who has ‘never spoken out or put down anybody’.

Amanda French, a family friend who co-wrote Bob’s 2016 autobiography The Last Crocodile Hunter, also accused Bindi of assassinating her grandfather’s character.

‘To read the sad comments online today has sickened me, and people who are closest to him,’ Ms French wrote on Facebook.

She described Bob as ‘kind, gentle, generous and extremely f**king introverted’.
