CASH-MAD BINDI GOES FOR BROKE!
Plans to rock her ‘Croc’ cred for pay with big TV wedding
CASH-STRAPPED Bindi Irwin plans to profit off her love affair with American hubby Chandler Powell by televising their second wedding in the United States, tipsters snitch. The daughter of late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin is feeling the pinch after using her personal piggybank to help shore up Australia Zoo, which she runs Down Under with mom Terri, 57, and brother Robert, 18, sources dish.
“The pandemic was tough on the whole Irwin family.
Their zoo lost a ton of cash through lack of visitors, and Bindi’s been dipping into her pocket to help her mom out,” an insider exclusively tells The National ENQUIRER. “She and Chandler are now in a position where they rather urgently need to top up their savings.” The “Dancing with the Stars” champ, 23, got hitched to the Florida wakeboarder,
25, in a private ceremony at the zoo in March 2020. They welcomed daughter Grace Warrior a year later.
But now sources dish the couple is eager to raise cash — and their profile — with a summer wedding in California! “Getting married and selling the rights is a no-brainer. They’re eager to capitalize on their popularity in America and would like to make a real splash with a starstudded celebration,” confides the insider.
Beloved TV animal wrangler Steve was fatally stabbed by a sting ray’s barb in 2006, but Bindi, Chandler and Robert have continued the family’s legacy with the hit reality show “Crikey! It’s the Irwins.”
Sources say Bindi and Chandler’s stateside nuptials would likely draw popular stars like actors Robert Downey Jr. and Russell Crowe and singer Billie Eilish. A mole dishes the savvy pair hopes to “do some schmoozing for future paydays” with their influential pals.
Adds the spy, “It’s a smart tactic to milk their highprofile showbiz connections for all they’re worth!”
