Bindi Irwin, who won the world’s heart at age 8 when she eulogized her father, is all grown up and getting married.

Irwin is the daughter of Terri Irwin and “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, who was killed in 2006 when he was stung in the heart by a stingray.

Bindi Irwin, her mother and her brother, Bob, have since taken up Steve Irwin’s mantle of wildlife warrior and conservationist. She also has starred in her own television show, “Bindi the Jungle Girl,” and represented the Australia Zoo around the world. She even competed on “Dancing with the Stars.”

But the little girl most people think of when they hear her name is now a woman, and on her 21st birthday, July 24, she became an engaged woman when her longtime boyfriend, Chandler Powell, popped the question.

The two met about six years ago at the Australia Zoo. Powell is from Florida.
