All eyes were on Bindi Irwin and her boyfriend Chandler Powell on Monday night, as the couple cuddled up at the CBS Television City studios in LA ahead of the bubbly star’s performance on the US version of Dancing With The Stars.

And while the teenagers have been together for a few months, this marks the first official event that they have attended together.

The American wakeboarder, 18, beamed with pride as he cradled the 17-year-old dancing sensation in his arms.

Meanwhile the Aussie starlet, who has been dazzling the judges on the hit reality show, opted for a sparkly coral halter-neck top which she tamed with a bright floral maxi-skirt and matching headband.

Just days earlier, Bindi took to Instagram to post her first official couple shot with the talented sports star.

“He’s here Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I’m tired. You’re amazing,” she penned alongside a sweet black and white snap.
