Bindi Irwin recovering in hospital after surgery: ‘Time to heal now'
(WJW) – Bindi Irwin, Australian television personality and the daughter of the late 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin, is recovering in the hospital after undergoing surgery on Monday.
She posted a video after surgery on Instagram, saying 'after many months of a grumbly appendix,' the zookeeper and conservationist had her appendix removed at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
As reported by People, the 26-year-old's brother, Robert Irwin, said during the annual Steve Irwin Gala on Saturday that his sister would be missing the Las Vegas event because her appendix had ruptured.

In the Monday update, Bindi told fans the surgery was a success.
'My appendix was removed, along with another 14 lesions (after having 37 endometriosis lesions and a cyst removed two years ago),' she continued on the post. 'I also had to repair a large hernia I acquired through childbirth four years ago.'
Bindi said she's now on the road to recovery.
'I just wanted to thank you so much for your well-wishes,' she said in the video from the hospital bed. 'Thank you guys for your kind words and support. I'm sorry if I'm a little out of it in this video, but I just wanted you to know that I'm on the road to recovery one step at a time.'

Loved ones took to the comments to show their support.
'Stay strong Bindi! Love you!' her brother wrote.
'Strongest person I know,' her husband, Chandler Powell, added.
The 'Crickey! It's The Irwins' star has been opening up about her health for years. In 2023, as FOX 8 previously reported, Bindi described undergoing treatment for endometriosis as 'a second chance at life.'

Cole Escola Sets The Record Straight About Nicole Scherzinger Tonys Joke
Cole Escola is making it clear that a joke they made at this year's Tony Awards was not an intentional dig at Nicole Scherzinger. During Sunday night's ceremony, Cole picked up the award for Best Actor In A Play for their hit show Oh, Mary!. While they were speaking to the press backstage, the winner of Best Actress In A Musical was announced, and when it was revealed that Nicole was the recipient, they quipped: 'The speculating is over… four more years.' Cole Escola reacts to Nicole Scherzinger winning a Tony last night:'Four more years' — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 9, 2025 Many interpreted this as shade at Nicole, who last year found herself at the centre of backlash when she interacted with several social media posts that appeared to endorse Donald Trump (she later apologised 'for the hurt caused' by her social media activity, insisting that the 'many presumptions' that were 'being drawn' about her did not 'reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who l voted for'). Posting on their Instagram story on Tuesday night, Cole insisted: 'When I made that joke when I said, 'four more years, four more years', I meant it like, 'well, she won, she's who we've got for the next four years', as if I think winning Best Lead Actress In A Musical is the same as winning a presidential election.' In their signature semi-ironic style, they then remarked: 'But you know, people just want to pit us Broadway gals against each other. And I think it's sad. 'My only sort of beef right now is with Michael Arden [the director of Maybe Happy Ending, the top winner at this year's Tonys]. And I don't want to get into it, actually. But that story's going to break tomorrow.'

Liberty Reacts to Coco Gauff's Appearance at Chicago Sky Game
Liberty Reacts to Coco Gauff's Appearance at Chicago Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Coco Gauff turned heads courtside Tuesday night as the tennis star made a surprise appearance at the New York Liberty's home game against the Chicago Sky. Advertisement The Liberty, still undefeated this WNBA season, had another reason to celebrate and they made it clear on Instagram, calling Gauff and team mascot Ellie the 'LINK UP OF THE YEAR!!!' Fresh off her historic win at the French Open, where she became the first American woman to win since Serena Williams in 2015, the 21-year-old tennis champion brought her star power courtside at Barclays Center. She was joined by her brother Cameron and Vanessa Bryant, widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, as the Liberty cruised to an 85-66 victory over the Sky. In photos from the game, Gauff was all smiles, flashing a peace sign. She wore a blue jacket, ripped black jeans and New Balance sneakers. Around her neck hung an infinity chain and her hair was styled in a sleek single braid. Advertisement Gauff's court appearance came just days after her win in Paris, but that didn't stop her from engaging with fans and waving to the crowd during a timeout. Even the WNBA's official X account couldn't hold back. Professional tennis player Coco Gauff (l) and journalist Arielle Chambers (r) at the Chicago Sky vs. New York Liberty Cruz-Imagn Images '2x Grand Slam champion – Coco Gauff is courtside in New York,' the WNBA wrote. As the Liberty rolled to a 9-0 record and Coco Gauff soaked in the action with a smile it was clear: this was more than just a game, it was a celebration of how far women's sports have come.
