'We're together every two to three MONTHS': Bindi Irwin on how she keeps long-distance romance with Chandler Powell alive
She's a very busy 17-year-old with solid standing on Dancing With The Stars and her conservation work with animals.
In the midst of this all, Bindi Irwin continues to juggle her blossoming romance with Florida-based wakeboarder Chandler Powell, 18.
For them, absence appears to be making the heart grow fonder as they use up the cell phone minutes between visits that she said span 'every two to three months.'
