‘DTWS’ Season 21 victor Bindi Irwin looks adorable in Alex Perry cocktail

But since Bindi’s father, Steve Irwin, passed away in 2006, a judge reportedly required Steve’s official death certificate be presented to the court as proof of his death.

“At the moment we’re really just respecting his wishes because he hasn’t had anything to do with us for a long time and he decided his own path”, she added. “We have a non-profit organization called Wildlife Warriors which has conservation project all over the globe”, she said.

Bindi hopes to continue inspiring others as she moves forward.

BINDI Irwin believes the frosty relationship between her and grandfather Bob is a result of his grief, which forced him to “distance himself from everything that Dad loved most”. After winning Season 21 of “Dancing With the Stars” with his partner Bindi Irwin, the six-time Mirror Ball champion made a decision to reward himself by taking a solo vacation.

“It’s sad but it’s just the way things are”.

She perfected her fancy footwork on Dancing With The Stars over the past couple of months. The fact that Bindi Irwin has managed to win the coveted Mirrorball trophy is no surprise.

Meanwhile Bob Irwin, who left Australia Zoo in 2008, has admitted he isn’t in contact with his crocodile hunter’s son’s kids.

To make sweet news even sweeter, Bindi was joined in Australia by her DWTS coach and partner, Derek Hough.

Bindi said she starred on the American show instead of it’s Australian version because “Australia never asked” and said her conservation work was probably a large factor in the decision-making process.

Derek said America was well aware who Bindi and her family were.

The report that Bindi Irwin is now able to collect her fee comes from TMZ, and I bet youre wondering why it took so long for Irwin to rake in the cash that was owed to her after successfully contributing to DWTS.

“It kind of felt like it was the right time it and I really wanted to share my story and my journey”, Bindi said.
