Bindi Irwin is shutting down any rumors about her getting engaged to longtime boyfriend Chandler Powell.
During an appearance on Home & Family (via US Weekly), the 19-year-old conservationist revealed that the couple has no plans to get married yet.
“That is a very, very good question and I think that at the moment everyone is kind of like, ‘Oh my goodness, are you guys going to get engaged?’ It’s all very exciting. For us, we’re just enjoying this time,” Bindi says.
She adds that they’re more ‘live in the moment’ people than checking things off a bucket list.
“As young people, it’s all about school and then college and then getting a house and getting married and that’s fantastic, but sometimes we forget to live in the now,” she says.
Bindi continues, “For us, in our relationship, we’re enjoying this moment and having so much fun traveling the world, working with animals, following our passion of conservation and just being together.”

“I am the luckiest guy in the world,” Chandlersays about working with the Irwin family at the Australia Zoo. “It’s amazing to be part of such an incredible cause and to work for Steve’s legacy and to do alongside the most beautiful girl in the world.”
He adds, “And to have the best teachers alongside me, it’s incredible. It’s such fulfilling work. I love it.”
If you didn’t know, Chandler was a professional wakeboarder before embarking on his conservation career.
“Being in lakes, we had turtles and alligators and snakes, and I love wildlife and conserving it and teaching people about it,” he says. “Now to do it full-time is incredible.”

The 19-year-old wildlife conservationist recently dished on her boyfriend, and how he fits right in with her family.
“He’s my one. I am very lucky. To be able to have someone who is so positive and kind,” she told Access. “He’s wonderful and I am so lucky that he loves wildlife and adventure and he’s up for anything.”
“Chandler is amazing. He’s eternally optimistic and I think that’s fantastic. A lot of times there’s so much going on in our planet and you want to fix everything and do as much as you possibly can,” Bindi added. “Sometimes he says, ‘You know, just focus on today and be happy, and don’t worry and keep it simple. You are doing so much so change the world, so believe in yourself.’ I think that it is nice to just have someone there to remind you to stay true to you. He’s just endlessly kind and I’m just very, very blessed and we all are to have him as a part of our little crew.”
Bindi‘s little brother Robert also approves of Chandler!
“I was really impressed with Chandler, as well. I did the training with Chandler just to see how he would react to all the animals at Australia Zoo. He was all in, boots and all, with gators and crocodiles and snakes. In one of his first visits to Australia Zoo we had him in feeding our alligators and he absolutely loved them,” he said.
