In news that has sent most of the country into a frenzy of excitement, Australian royalty Bindi Irwin has announced she is expecting her first child with husband Chandler Powell.
But, if you look closely, as some fans did, the Wildlife Warrior dropped some very inconspicuous clues she was pregnant.

Sharing the news via Instagram on Wednesday evening Bindi revealed a picture of herself and Chandler holding a mini Australia Zoo khaki shirt with the caption: “Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021.”
“Chandler and I are proud to announce that we’re expecting! It’s an honour to share this special moment in our lives with you.”
While it may not come as a surprise to some, who have been eagerly awaiting an announcement from the newlyweds following their nuptials in March, there were signs the announcement was imminent.
Just one day prior Bindi shared a somewhat cryptic Instagram post that also served as an inspirational message, reading: “Trust the magic of new beginnings”.
Coincidence? We think not, and neither did fans who commented on the post speculating the pregnancy.
“Does this mean there is a bundle in pouch ❤️❤️,” one follower asked, before another commented: “Is there a baby, maybe?”
This wasn’t the only cryptic clue Bindi shared ahead of the baby news.
Just hours before the big announcement she also shared a comic clip to her Instagram story with a bear saying, “Ready or not here I come!”
A possible hint at the exciting, yet somewhat daunting feeling, a first-time mother experiences after learning she’s pregnant? You decide.
The happy news has since been met with a barrage of comments from fans and big-name celebrities alike.
Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown responded to Bindi’s post: “Congratulations! So exciting, so happy for you both.”
As well as Rove McManus who wrote: “You two just keep spreading joy right when we need it.
“This will no doubt be the perfect union of two of the most positive, inspiring, decent and caring people on the planet. I can’t wait to meet the little one and swap khakis together.”
Lisa Wilkinson also sent her congratulations: “Oh this is just the most beautiful news guys. I have tears in my eyes. What a lucky little one! All my love always. And Terri is going to be the BEST grandma!!! 😘”
