The telling sign that Bindi Irwin has ALREADY given birth: Star’s latest bump update ‘was actually taken last month’ – as rumours swirl she welcomed her daughter and is delaying the announcement
Rumours are swirling that Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell have secretly welcomed their first child.
The couple are yet to announce their daughter’s arrival, but some fans are convinced Bindi has already given birth ahead of her late March/early April due date.
The 22-year-old wildlife warrior shared a ‘bump update’ on Twitter on Tuesday, but the photo appears to have been taken a month ago.

The image shows Bindi and Chandler, 24, posing with her mother, Terri, and younger brother, Robert, on the grounds of Australia Zoo in Queensland.
Her caption stated they were still ‘waiting’ for the arrival of her daughter.
However, the photo shows her and Chandler wearing the exact same outfits they were pictured wearing as they strolled through Australia Zoo’s car park on February 19 – right down to the socks, shoes and Chandler’s wristwatch.
This suggests Bindi’s Twitter ‘update’ on Tuesday was actually from a month ago, and the fact she didn’t post a more recent photo hints she may already have given birth.
Bindi and Chandler may been keeping the child’s birth under wraps so they can enjoy their first few days as parents privately. Alternatively, they could be protecting a magazine deal.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Australia Zoo for comment.
Bindi and Chandler announced their baby news in August, and revealed the following month they were expecting a daughter.
Earlier this month, Bindi shared a glimpse of her daughter’s nursery, after hiring artist Maryanne Oliver paint native animals on the walls.

‘Thank you so much to our friend Maryanne for this amazing painting in our daughter’s Australia Zoo nursery. She’s going to love it!’ she wrote on Instagram.
The colourful mural included crocodiles, galahs, cockatoos and, of course, koalas.
Bindi told The Bump last month that her late father, Steve Irwin, had inspired her baby’s nickname, Baby Wildlife Warrior.

‘My dad was the first person to create the term Wildlife Warrior,’ she explained, adding that Steve would have made an excellent grandfather.
‘My dad would have been the best grandfather,’ she said. ‘I always joke that if he was still here we’d never see our baby because he’d take her on all kinds of adventures!’
Bindi said she was looking forward to sharing her father’s legacy of conservation with her daughter when she’s old enough to understand it.
Steve died in September 2006 at the age of 44 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming a documentary in Batt Reef, Queensland.
Bindi also said her mother, Terri, was looking forward to becoming a grandmother and will go by the name ‘Bunny’ once the child arrives.
