Bindi Irwin Is an 'Amazing Mum,' Brother Robert Says as He Shares New Baby Grace Photo

Robert Irwin is one proud uncle, gushing not only over his new niece but also over her mother, his sister Bindi Irwin. The reality-TV star and wildlife photographer shared a lovely photo of him and his big sis to celebrate National Siblings Day. Also making an appearance in the photo is Bindi’s newborn daughter Grace Warrior.

“Happy #NationalSiblingsDay! I’ve got the absolute best sister — Grace definitely has an amazing mum,” he captioned the photo.

The Crikey! It’s the Irwins stars have always had a sweet relationship, as evidenced by Bindi’s throwback photo of the pair. It features a younger Robert and Bindi, but instead of holding a snuggly newborn, they’re showing off their snake-handling skills.

The caption read, “I’m thankful every day that I get to be your sister. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and light in my life.”

During Bindi’s pregnancy, Robert was the model of support and anxious uncle-to-be. While the due date loomed closer, Robert was maybe more nervous even than his sister. “I’m checking my phone every chance I get. Every time she calls me I panic and go, ‘Is it time?’ And she’ll go ‘No, it’s not, calm down,’ ” he told People magazine. “She’s doing good. She’s ready to go. We are all crossing our fingers. I think it’s going to be any day now. She’s doing great, she’s glowing. She’s getting to the point where she needs this baby out of there now. She’s a very small person with a very big belly at the moment.”

With a brother like that, maybe we can let it slide that he called her massive on national television.

These celebrity moms make us all feel better when they share the highs and lows of parenting.
