Bindi Irwin Gives Birth to Baby Girl and Fans Can't Stop Gushing
On March 25, Crikey! It's the Irwins star Bindi Irwin gave birth to her first child, a little girl [...]
Irwin shared with Entertainment Tonight in February that she thinks her dad, the legendary Steve Irwin, would have been a great grandfather. "He would've been a good, good grandpa," she said. "Yeah, he really would've been. I don't think we would've ever seen our daughter! He would've just whisked her away into the zoo and it would've been perfect." The conservationist and television personality passed away in 2006 after he was stung by a stingray.
She echoed that sentiment on The Bump, saying that he would have been an extremely involved grandfather. "My dad would have been the best grandfather," she said. "I always joke that if he was still here we'd never see our baby because he'd take her on all kinds of adventures! I want to make sure our baby girl gets to know my dad and thankfully we have many documentaries and photos we can share with her. I think she'll love getting to watch footage of Dad working with all kinds of animals and learning about his legacy."

Twitter is so thrilled that Bindi is carrying on the family legacy at the Australia Zoo and they hope that she will carry on her dad's worth with little Grace as well. However, millennials grew up watching The Crocodile Hunter and remember Bindi as a little girl, so they're being forced to face their own mortality as she grows up and starts her own family. "Bindi Irwin just had a baby so that makes me 100 years old," wrote one person.

Mostly, people were overwhelmed with emotion at the loving nod to her grandad in Grace Warrior's name. "Bindi Irwin gave her daughter the middle name of Warrior Irwin because her dad was the Wildlife Warrior...I'm not crying...I'm not crying..." tweeted one person.

"Bindi Irwin partially named her daughter after Steve and I haven't stopped crying," wrote another. "Bindi Irwin having her baby is the purest thing that's ever happened on this earth," another fan tweeted.

"Every time I see a post about bindi irwins new baby I literally cry I wish Steve was here to see her," another fan posted on Twitter. However, with all the work that she's done to carry on his legacy in Australia, it's safe to say that Steve is proud of his daughter for many, many reasons.
