Family size and planning is deeply personal. Celebrities and others in the spotlight, however, are often asked when/if they'll have children or add another little one to their brood. Bindi Irwin recently addressed this commonly asked question while also giving her fans an important reminder.
The 26-year-old daughter of Terri and the late Steve Irwin married Chandler Powell, 27, in 2020. They welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, exactly one year later, on March 25, 2021. Since then, fans have constantly asked if Bindi and Chandler want more kids. The couple directly addressed this question in a new video published on their YouTube channel.

A fan-submitted question asked Bindi and Chandler if they plan to have another child.
Bindi and Chandler did a Q&A session August 28 using fan-submitted topics in a video via their YouTube channel. The couple included an inquiry that Chandler said they face "daily." It read: "Are you two planning on having another child?"
Chandler called their daughter, Grace, an 'absolute miracle.'
In addressing the question, Chandler started by reminding fans about Bindi's journey with endometriosis.
"Basically, it was an absolute miracle that we had Grace," Chandler said. "And we love Grace so much and are reveling in every little moment we have with her, with our little miracle baby. So we are so happy with our little family of three."
Bindi, however, issued a reminder to her fans.
She took a moment to share that she "appreciate[s] everybody who is curious to see if we will have another child," but she also reminded fans to "remember to be careful when you ask this question because you never know what's happening in someone's life, in a family's world."
The conservationist continued, "Everything may seem fine on the outside and on the inside, their own personal journey might have been filled with turmoil and challenges, you know, that you can't even fathom."

Bindi shared that Grace will 'probably be our one child.'
Additionally, Bindi noted it can be a "really tricky question for many, many people who maybe can't have another baby, can't have a baby at all."
She added, "We feel very lucky to have Grace. She is our beautiful girl, but she will probably be our one child. … But you never know. Maybe we will be blessed with another little one down the road."
Bindi previously opened up about her endometriosis.
During an October 2023 interview on Good Morning America, Bindi explained that it took years (starting in her earlier teens) of testing and doctors dismissing her excruciating pain before she was finally diagnosed with endometriosis.
“This was incredibly disheartening and actually caused me a lot of anxiety and depression as I was constantly in pain with no answers for what was wrong with me,” she told Today.com in March 2024. “It was very easy to believe doctors, and I actually gave up searching for answers.”
In March 2023, Bindi underwent surgery to remove more than 30 lesions and a cyst filled with menstrual blood.
“I could feel the difference from the moment I woke up,” she told Today.
