LittleGrace Warrioris only 1-week-old and she’s already had her first “croc” interaction!
In a laugh-out-loud April Fools' Day joke on Thursday, the Irwin family gathered for a photo holding pairs of Crocs shoes alongside Bindi, 22, and her newborn daughter, whom she shares with husband Chandler Powell.
While it may be too soon for actual crocodile rendezvous, Grace is set to follow in her animal-loving family’s footsteps — even hername is a tribute to her late grandpa, Steve Irwin, a.k.a. the Crocodile Hunter. Steve waskilled during a diving expeditionoff the coast of Australia in September 2006 at age 44.
“Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light,” Bindi wrote in her Instagram announcement last week. “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.”
