Bindi Irwin fights to be healthy for her family following emergency surgery
Bindi Irwin is on the road to recovery and taking the time to heal after suffering a ruptured appendix earlier this month. Irwin, the daughter of late animal advocate Steve Irwin, was forced to miss an annual gala in honor of her father due to emergency surgery. While the surgery was initially intended to address her appendix, doctors discovered a myriad of issues Irwin, 26, needed medical attention for, including 14 additional lesions related to her endometriosis diagnosis. "Healing. Thank you for your incredible words of support and kindness," Bindi shared on social media. "The reason I share my health journey is because more girls and women desperately need answers to their undiagnosed pain. "I've battled with endometriosis for more than 12 years. This disease is crippling and can make you feel incredibly isolated. We need to raise awareness and change the narrative for women's health. I see you, your pain is real, and you deserve answers and genuine health care." Her husband, Chandler Powell, praised Bindi on social media, and wrote, "I've said it many times already, but as time goes on I'm even more convinced that you are the strongest person I know." He added, "Going through everything you have to get on top of your health as well as help others along the way is incredible. You are a warrior in every sense of the word. Grace and I are so grateful for you and everything you do." She responded, "My hope is to be healthy for our family. I love you so much." Irwin detailed some of her medical journey on social media shortly after she was hospitalized. "After having a grumbly appendix, I finally had to seek help the day of our Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas," she wrote earlier this month. "I consulted with Dr. Seckin, and we agreed that if I flew to New York, he could also check for endometriosis again. "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). I also had a repair to a large hernia I acquired through childbirth four years ago. Thankfully, I am on the road to recovery." This is not the first health scare Bindi has encountered. In 2023, the mom of one revealed an endometriosis diagnosis that also required surgery. "My life now looks completely different than it did before I had my surgery," Irwin told Fox News Digital at the time. "Over the 10 years that I was really battling with endo[metriosis] without knowing it, I would get progressively worse every week and in the end, before my surgery, I was barely able to get out of bed." Irwin, who described the pain she experienced as a "stabbing feeling" and "really scary," revealed in March that she endured the painful condition for 10 years and struggled for a proper diagnosis.

Robert Irwin posts sweet tribute to sister Bindi Irwin after major surgery: 'Crippling'
Robert Irwin has shared a sweet tribute to his sister Bindi Irwin after she revealed earlier this month that she had been forced to have surgery to remove her appendix and 14 lesions as a result of her endometriosis. Doctors also needed to repair a hernia that she acquired during childbirth four years ago. Bindi pulled out of the Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas for the surgery, leaving Robert to host the event solo. It comes after the Wildlife Warrior had 37 endometriosis lesions and a cyst removed two years ago. Taking to Instagram, Robert shared a photo of himself and Bindi wearing their khaki Australia Zoo uniforms. He wrote, "Happy to see you on the up and up, Bindi. You face every hurdle head on, take it in your stride and inspire us." Bindi commented on the post, "One day at a time. Tremendously grateful for your support. You're the best."

On the same day as the Steve Irwin Gala, Bindi revealed she underwent surgery. She shared a video and a lengthy statement on Instagram, which read: "I am so thankful that I got the help I needed with Dr. Seckin and Dr. Chu at Lenox Hill Hospital. After having a grumbly appendix, I finally had to seek help the day of our Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas.

Robert Irwin's in hot water! Single TV host gets in trouble with his momager Terri after enjoying night in Las Vegas with mystery blonde
He might be the golden boy of Australia, but Robert Irwin is ruffling feathers behind the scenes. The Wildlife Warrior, 21, recently travelled to Las Vegas with his mum Terri and sister Bindi to host the annual Steve Irwin Gala. But Robert has allegedly gotten himself in hot water with his mother after enjoying a wild night out during the trip. A source close to the family told Daily Mail Australia that Terri is 'deeply disappointed' in her son's late-night antics after photos surfaced of him partying with a mystery blonde bombshell. 'Terri doesn't care who the girl is. She just thinks the whole thing looks really bad, especially with Robert about to appear on the US version of Dancing with the Stars,' the insider said. Robert's trip to Las Vegas was only meant to include the Steve Irwin Gala on May 10 but things took a turn when his sister Bindi suffered a ruptured appendix and was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. Both Terri and Bindi were forced to pull out of the gala at the last minute and Robert was left to his own devices and made the most of his freedom. 'While the cat's away, the mice will play. Robert doesn't usually get much downtime, so he let his hair down,' the source added. 'But Terri was expecting him to keep things low-key, not hit the strip with a blonde on his arm.' The pair appeared completely engrossed in each other, walking closely and ignoring other members of their group. The mystery woman turned heads in a white crop top that showed off her toned figure, teamed with high-waist mum jeans and white sneakers. Her long blonde locks were styled in effortless waves, and she carried a brown Louis Vuitton shoulder bag. At one point, Robert placed a protective hand on her lower back as they made their way through the venue's entrance. Later, the pair were spotted laughing together in a dark ramen bar, tucked away in a cosy booth with friends. Robert was all smiles as he leaned in close, clearly enjoying the mystery woman's company. While fans are loving Robert's transformation from 'zoo kid' to heartthrob, Terri is said to be horrified by the 'eligible bachelor' branding. 'She regretted that Bonds campaign with him in his jocks and a snake around his neck. She thought it sent the wrong message and this Vegas stunt is just more of the same,' an insider said. Terri is reportedly trying to shut down speculation Robert's behaviour could derail his upcoming stint on Dancing With The Stars. 'They're in full damage control. The line from the Irwins is "there's nothing to see here". But behind closed doors, Terri is fuming,' they continued. 'Robert might not get this kind of freedom again for a long time. Not until Dancing with the Stars is over and he's back home in Australia.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Irwins' representatives for comment. Robert's career has been going from strength to strength since he was signed up as the host of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Australia last year. He has also been single following his split from his girlfriend Rorie Buckley in February last year and confessed that dating hasn't been easy in a TV appearance back in December. 'That's an interesting world to navigate as well with [being in] the public eye and that sort of thing,' he said on the Today show. Admitting that he was not seeing anyone at the time, Robert was asked about what he was 'looking for' in a partner. 'I'm one of those people who is kind of gonna let it happen, I'm gonna let that unfold as it will,' he shared. 'I look at my parents as inspiration and I look at my sister [Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler].' 'I know there's someone out there, but they are going to have to be a goer, they are going to be in this lifestyle, it's here, it's there, it's everywhere but I would definitely one day love to, of course, share this wonderful life with someone special,' he added.
