After her father’s tragic and sudden passing in 2006, Bindi followed in his footsteps as both a conservationist and a TV personality. She and her brother Robert both help out at the Australia Zoo, owned by their mother, which was the filming location for “Crocodile Hunter.”

The 19-year-old has gone on to find love of her own, going public with her relationship with boyfriend Chandler Powell in 2015.
“I’m lucky I have found the one, the person I want to spend all my time with,” she shared in a recent interview. “Mum and Robert and I have talked about that a lot. We all think dad would have loved Chandler.”
