Bindi Irwin and boyfriend Chandler Powell’s romantic beach getaway

AH, young love. Bindi and her beau have been spotted getting up close and personal in the middle of a well-earned beach getaway in Hawaii.

BINDI Irwin has enjoyed a relaxing Hawaii beach vacation, fresh from her season-winning stint on US Dancing With The Stars — and she brought boyfriend Chandler Powell along too.

17-year-old Irwin danced her way to victory — and widespread public adoration — on the latest US season of the dance competition last November.

Now she’s taken a well-earned break with 19-year-old boyfriend Powell, a professional wakeboarder who first met Bindi in 2013 during a visit to Australia Zoo.

Irwin recently delivered a heartfelt dedication to her beau as he celebrated his 19th birthday, sharing a picture of the pair with the caption: “Happy birthday to a person who inspires me every day. A soul who makes me smile no matter where I am in the world, despite any amount of distance. Thank you for the endless hugs, late night conversations about life, holding my hand when a loud noise scares me and laughing along with all of my bindi moments. I’m blessed to be a part of your world.”

However, the loved-up couple had one noticeable obstacle to romance during their Hawaii holiday: Bindi’s 12-year-old brother Bob. Safe to say that babysitting your little brother is a bit of a mood killer:

So what’s next for Bindi after her Stateside reality TV success? Rumour has it she could be looking to follow it up with a reality TV stint back at home. Consider this: she’s a great fit for one of the 10 contestant clues producers of I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! have released to the public: “A television icon — she’s a silver Logie winner and a household name in over 20 countries ...”

Bindi is indeed a silver Logie winner and she’s a well-known in many parts of the world thanks to her late father Steve and her own conservation efforts. Plus, unlike many pampered celebs who’d consider a few weeks in the jungle a living hell, she’d thrive in that environment. Fingers crossed!
