Bindi Irwin gushes about what makes her ‘so happy’ in sweet photo

Bindi Irwin has taken to Instagram to count her blessings and reveal what makes her feel “so happy”.

The photo, shared today, shows the 17-year-old walking hand-in-hand with her boyfriend, Chandler Powell, and her mother, Terri.

In the post shared with her million followers, Irwin said the photo was taken by her “gorgeous little brother,” Bob, 12.

"Family honestly means everything. How blessed am I? Here's to a lifetime of holding hands and skipping down hallways with those that you love," she said. 

Irwin has shared a host of sentimental posts over the course of her relationship with American wakeboarder, Powell, 19, who she first met when he visited Australia Zoo in 2013.

The teenager has seen success as an actress and a television presenter since her late father Steve, The Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a stingray barb in 2006.

She has become an international celebrity since winning US Dancing With The Stars last year.
