'They are not planning to move anywhere': Australia Zoo confirms there is 'absolutely no truth' to claims the Irwin family are relocating to America

Australia Zoo has confirmed there is 'absolutely no truth' to the rumours that the iconic Australian family the Irwins plan to relocate to America. 

Speaking with Daily Mail Australia, a spokesperson for the wildlife sanctuary said reports claiming that the family were moving Stateside were 'completely untrue'.

A Woman's Day article alleged Terri, 51, Bindi, 17, and Robert, 12, were set to expand the Irwin brand in a big way, carrying on the late Steve's legacy by opening a massive Australian zoo and resort in Las Vegas.

'The Irwin family live at Australia Zoo. They always have and they are not planning to move anywhere,' the spokesperson said.

New Idea  also reported that the family were set to move and claimed that Irwin matriarch Terri had found love with a 'controversial' American mystery man.

But the spokesperson for Australia Zoo  also denied the claims. 

'This seems to have literally come out of thin air. There is absolutely no truth to that claim,' they said.

In 2010, Terri said she and her kids were determined to make Steve's dream a reality and establish a global empire, spreading his message of conservation beyond their Australian backyard.

The matriarch has dedicated her life to continuing Steve's work, as she continues to spread the word about wildlife conservation and running Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast.

Bindi meanwhile recently became a bonafide celebrity in the US after taking out the number-one spot on Dancing With The Stars.

The teenager has been in long-distance relationship with US wakeboarder Chandler Powell, confirming their romance on her 17th birthday in July 2015.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at the AACTA Awards in Sydney in December, Bindi reflected on her relationship with Chandler.

'Long distance is challenging every now and then but it's wonderful to have someone so brilliant in your life,' she explained.

When asked whether she would consider moving to the US to be with her teenage love, Bindi admitted that she can't see herself leaving her Down Under homeland.

'I think the States are wonderful because they are like a second home, I mean my mum's originally from Oregon, but home for me is Australia Zoo,' she explained.

'I mean we live right in the middle of Australia Zoo, so when you grow up surrounded by animals your whole life, you can't leave that. No matter where I go, I'll always return home'.  

A contributing factor? The move could also have something to do with Bindi's romance to American wakeboarder, Chandler Powell, with the pair continuing their long-distance relationship

Meanwhile, Zoo Sky Media, the Melbourne-based company that runs the Crocodile Hunter and Irwin brands are suing the family for breach of contract.  

According to the lawsuit, Terri tried to get out of the management deal by saying that 'she and her children had been reassessing their lives and wanted to take a step back from all the activity associated with filming, they needed to take a break, and they needed to step out of the agreement.'  

Terri said she and her family were at a crossroads and wanted to make a change, the writ filed in the Victorian Supreme Court alleges.

The company also claims the Irwin family bypassed them to appear on reality TV show I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!, and provided the show with clips, denying Zoo revenue it was entitled to.

Terri and Zoo directors Adam Schoff and Michael John Whitfort had entered into an agreement in 2010 whereby Zoo would develop, market and manage the Irwin Family Brand Assets, the writ says.

The company is seeking damages, costs and interest, claiming a list of breaches Mrs Irwin later provided as a basis for breaking the agreement have no basis in fact or in law. 

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Australia Zoo for comment. 

Terri's husband and father to Bindi and Bob, Steve Irwin, was internationally known and referred to as The Crocodile Hunter.

He was involved in conservation efforts and died in 2006 after being stung in the chest by a sting ray while diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
