Bindi reveals beautiful the reasoning behind her daughter’s four names, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell.
She explained that Grace was the name of her great-grandmother and the name runs in Chandler’s family as well.
Bindi went on to explain, “Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad.”
Bindi’s parents, Steve and Terri Irwin started a charity named Wildlife Warriors so the name, ‘Warrior’ is symbolic of that.
“I think about how much meaning and love was poured into naming the most important part of our lives, our gorgeous Grace.”
To celebrate Bindi and Chandler’s parenthood journey, we’re opening up the Irwin family album and looking at every single adorable photo of Grace.

“Grace Warrior, If one day you come across this post – I want you to know that being your mama is the BEST. And I love you with all my heart, forever. I have loved every adventure we’ve shared and I can’t wait for many more to come,” Bindi said in a tribute to her daughter. We’re not crying, you are.
