Last November, Woman’s Day alleged that Bindi Irwin was “cracking” under the stress of family drama and was ready to call off her wedding to Chandler Powell. According to the tabloid, there was “major drama” within the Irwin family, and it was forcing the former Dancing with the Stars contestant to cancel the ceremony.
An insider revealed that Irwin “knew there will always be a bit of drama when it comes to a wedding, but she expected it to be minor arguments over seating plans or flowers, not drawn-out family battles.” The magazine’s report referred to a piece from another Australian publication that stated Irwin’s grandfather, Bob, was expected not to receive an invite to the wedding.
The tabloid further asserted that Irwin and Powell were having “serious doubts” about going through with the wedding and were talking about whether they should put the nuptials on hold.
Bindi Irwin was never looking to call off her wedding to Chandler Powell over some family drama, period. And since the two recently wed and are now expecting a baby, it’s even more evident that the magazine had no idea what it was talking about.
A month after her intimate ceremony to Powell, Irwin shared photos from the wedding with People and also spoke about why the couple decided to go ahead with their plans despite the coronavirus pandemic.
