1. Bindi Irwin announces she's pregnant

Does that khaki come in newborn sizes? Bindi Irwin announced that she and her husband, Chandler Powell, are expecting their first child together after getting married in a hasty, socially-distanced ceremony back in March. "Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021," Irwin, 22, captioned a photo of her and Powell, 23, holding up a pint-size Australia Zoo uniform. She added: "Though I'm still in my first trimester, we really want you to be a part of our journey from the beginning of this new life chapter." Powell added, "Becoming a dad is the highlight of my life." The couple's baby will be the first grandchild of the late Steve Irwin, who died in 2006.
