Relationship Expert Warns Bindi Irwin that 'Getting Engaged at a Young Age' Can Be 'Tricky'

While speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Bindi and Chandler’s announcement and decision to tie the knot, Holly said:

“Getting engaged at a young age, while very commonplace in the years past, can be trickier to navigate nowadays.”

She further added that at the age of 21, which is Bindi’s age, many individuals are still working on discovering the kind of person they are and still making pivotal choices which will determine the rest of their lives. In his words:

“It can be a time of change and challenging ourselves,”

and according to Holly, the biggest task ahead for the couple is

“understanding that we continue to change and mature in our twenties.”

Holly, who is the founder of Matchsmith also expressed optimism for the couple’s relationship. She made mention that he thought Bindi was particularly capable of sustaining such a serious commitment as she had matured more than her peers due to early exposure to the spotlight.

“As a couple, they will grow and strengthen together rather than apart,”

she concluded.

“July 24th, 2019. On my birthday I said ‘yes’ and ‘forever’ to the love of my life”

“I’m so looking forwarding to spending our forever together as your wife. Here’s to a lifetime of friendship, purpose and unconditional love. – Now let’s get married already!”
