Bindi Irwin ‘received secret signs’ from late Crocodile Hunter dad Steve while giving birth
CROCODILE Hunter star Steve Irwin's daughter Bindi has revealed that she "received secret signs" from her late dad while giving birth.
The 22-year-old star opened up about her labour experience since welcoming her first child last month.
Bindi, who gave birth to daughter Grace Warrior, was reportedly shocked at how similar her newborn resembled her wildlife expert dad.
A source close to the family told that Bindi was "so struck" by how much she looked like her father, observing that the pair have the "exact same nose".
Little Grace arrived on March 25 - the same date as her parents' first wedding anniversary.
The source also suggested that Bindi believed that giving birth on her wedding anniversary was also a sign from dad that he was there watching over her.
Bindi and husband Chandler Powell took to social media to share a sweet picture of themselves with their newborn last month.
She wrote: "Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light. Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s.
"Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior.
"Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad.
"There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed."
Bindi marked the date writing: "March 25, 2021. Celebrating the two loves of my life.
"Happy first wedding anniversary to my sweetheart husband and day of birth to our beautiful daughter."
Steve Irwin died in September 2006, aged 44, while filming at Batt Reef in Queensland for the series Ocean's Deadliest.
He was pierced in the chest by a stingray barb having approached the animal in a bid to film it swimming away.
In August, Bindi and Chandler, 23, revealed their baby news by posing together in their Australia Zoo uniforms, holding up a tiny version of the outfit for their little one.
She wrote: “Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021. Chandler and I are proud to announce that we're expecting!
“It's an honour to share this special moment in our lives with you. Though I'm still in my first trimester, we really want you to be part of our journey from the beginning of this new life chapter.
