Steve Irwin's children, son Robert, 16, and daughter Bindi Irwin, 22, have most especially developed an unbreakable bond over the years. Together with their mom, they continue to preserve their father's legacy.

On March 25, the Australia Zoo played host to the wedding ceremony of Bindi Irwin and her husband, Chandler Powell. The wedding had no guests in attendance due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Apart from the couple, Robert and Terri Irwin were also present, in a very private ceremony. Robert, who took on the responsibility of walking his sister down the aisle, later claimed their late father Steve Irwin was there with them in spirit.
