Engagement have been circling around wildlife warrior Bindi Irwin and her wakeboarder beau Chandler Powell as they frolick around Europe on a romantic holiday.

And as the young couple looked more loved-up than ever as they cosied up together in snap posted to the 19-year-old's Instagram Story on Friday.

Celebrating 'National Spaghetti Day', the duo brandished wide grins as Chandler, 21, gripped a dish of pasta containing a large, lone meatball.

The daughter of late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, appeared comfortable with her partner of four years, and tenderly rested her hands on his shoulder as they posed for the photo.

It comes after Bini uploaded a series of romantic shots to Instagram of the smitten couple as they took in the sights of Venice, Italy earlier this week.

She shared a series of photos taken from the famous canal-lined city while finding the time to gush about her beau - something fans of her page would be well used to.

One photo showed the happy couple huddling close for a romantic snap against the city's picturesque backdrop.

Another image used a black and white filter and showed Chandler standing on a set of stairs near a concrete archway.

Chandler posed with his hands in his jacket pocket while beaming broadly back at Bindi who took the photo.

For her part, Bindi offered a saccharine-sweet: 'my love' which she had written over the image, with a love heart.

It appears that, like many, Bindi was captivated with the enchanting city, taking the time to snap photos of its old-world architecture and the famed gondolas.

She also posted a short gif-style video that featured the pair hamming it up by the waterside.

'We enjoyed the sunshine in Venice while getting totally, happily lost amongst the colourful buildings and winding water. This was a magical day,' Bindi captioned the post, augmenting the sentiment with a love heart emoji.

The couple, who had previously enjoyed a stop in the city of lights and love - Paris - have been dogged by rumours for months that they were planning to walk down the aisle.

New Idea quoted an unnamed source in August, claiming that the pair had become engaged.

However, Bindi revealed to In Touch magazine in December that the couple were 'too busy' to plan an engagement.

'We're so busy with everything, we haven't had time to think about the pressure,' she said.

She continued: 'We're really enjoying the moment, adventuring around the world and having fun. We'll let you know!'
