Steve Irwin’s legacy lives on through his children, Bindi and Robert, who have embraced their father’s passion for wildlife conservation. Together with their mother, Terri, they dedicate their lives to caring for animals as zookeepers in Australia, promoting conservation and education. Their love for nature is undeniable, and their efforts to preserve wildlife are truly inspiring.
Bindi, now a mother to daughter Grace Warrior, often shares glimpses of her life on social media, keeping her fans updated on her personal milestones. Recently, she opened up about a deeply personal health challenge that she has faced for years.

In an emotional post, Bindi revealed that she had been diagnosed with endometriosis, a painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it. For years, she struggled to understand the source of her pain, enduring dismissive comments from medical professionals who told her it was “just something women deal with.”
“Dear Friends,” she began, “I battled for a long time wondering if I should share this journey in such a public space. It came down to the responsibility I feel to share my story for other women who need help.”
Bindi explained that after years of unanswered questions, a friend, Leslie Mosier, encouraged her to seek further help. Finally, she underwent surgery, during which doctors discovered 37 lesions and an ovarian cyst.
She expressed relief and gratitude for finding answers but also shared the emotional toll of living with chronic pain. “Things may look fine on the outside looking in through the window of someone’s life; however, that is not always the case. Please be gentle & pause before asking me (or any woman) when we’ll be having more children,” she wrote.
Reflecting on her journey, Bindi expressed immense gratitude for her daughter, Grace, calling her a “family miracle” after everything her body had endured. She also highlighted the millions of women silently battling endometriosis and urged them to keep seeking answers.
“There’s stigma around this awful disease,” she said. “I’m sharing my story for anyone who reads this & is quietly dealing with pain & no answers. Let this be your validation that your pain is real & you deserve help. Keep searching for answers. www.endofound.org.”
Bindi’s courage in sharing her experience sheds light on a condition that affects countless women and is often misunderstood or overlooked. We wish her continued health and happiness as she navigates this journey.
Please share Bindi’s story with your friends and family—it might help someone who needs to hear it.
