Bindi Irwin, 27, surprised fans on Sunday by revealing she’s temporarily relocated to Los Angeles with her husband Chandler Powell and their 3-year-old daughter, Grace, to support her brother Robert’s Dancing With the Stars journey.

In an Instagram video, the Wildlife Warrior shared, “We’re officially moved to Los Angeles—not forever, but for the next three months. Australia Zoo will always be home, but we’re here to cheer on my incredible brother.” Bindi, who won the U.S. DWTS mirrorball trophy in 2015, called her own experience “life-changing” and expressed excitement for Robert’s turn on the show.

Health Battles and Advocacy
The announcement follows Bindi’s recent health update after undergoing emergency surgery earlier this year. Last month, she disclosed she’d had two surgeries to address a ruptured appendix and endometriosis—a condition she’s battled for 13 years. Surgeons removed 51 endometriosis lesions, a chocolate cyst (a fluid-filled ovarian cyst linked to endometriosis), and her appendix.

“I can FINALLY say I’m feeling better. I’m slowly gaining strength back,” she wrote on Instagram, explaining that chronic pain had left her feeling “ashamed” and “lesser” as a young woman. Bindi urged openness around women’s health: “We need to take away the stigma. It’s time for global change.”

Family First
Bindi’s move highlights the Irwins’ tight-knit bond. She, Chandler, and Grace plan to return to Australia Zoo after Robert’s DWTS stint. The conservationist also addressed a postpartum hernia repair, joking, “My body’s been through a lot, but I’m finally healing.”

Fans flooded her posts with support, praising her resilience and dedication to family. As Robert prepares for his DWTS debut, Bindi’s journey—from health struggles to cross-continent moves—proves her unwavering strength.
