In the intervening eight years, the couple married and had a daughter, Grace Warrior Irwin Powell.
Irwin also went public with her debilitating battle with endometriosis, raising awareness of the illness around the world.
“8 years between these two photos,” Irwin captioned her photos.
“How much we have grown and experienced is remarkable.
“Grateful for all of it.
“And loving you always @chandlerpowell ❤️.”
The pair married at Australia Zoo on March 25, 2020, and Grace was born exactly one year later, on March 25, 2021.
“I love this and you so much,” Powell wrote beneath his wife’s post.
“Can’t believe all that we’ve gotten to experience together.”
Irwin’s mum Terri also chipped in with a comment.
“So wonderful that you both found your happily ever after!” she wrote.
“This is very cute,” added Rorie Buckey, the girlfriend of Bindi’s younger brother Robert.
Fans loved the reflective post and the throwback photo, which shows Powell with longer, curlier hair.
“Love that your smiles are even bigger now!” one follower said.
“Hope you can take many more pictures like this in the future.”
“Simply meant to be,” said another.
Noting Powell’s hair in the throwback photo, one follower said: “Man, that HAIR, no wonder you fell for him!”
“The smiles still say love,” said another of the more recent photo.
In March last year, Irwin opened up about her battle with endometriosis and how, for a long time, her pain went undiagnosed.
“I was tested for cancer. I had MRIs, I had ultrasounds I had CT scans, just you name it. I was checked for everything,” she explained.
“And the scariest thing was that there were no answers.”
In August 2022, she was pushed to undergo a laparoscopy, a keyhole surgery that inspects the organs in the abdomen and pelvic region.
She finally got her answer from the surgery after doctors found 37 lesions and cysts on her ovaries.
Irwin was diagnosed with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the womb, sometimes moving to other areas of the body.
She revealed that after finally receiving a diagnosis, a doctor asked her “how did you live with that much pain?”
“That validation — I’m going to get emotional — that validation meant so much to me,” she said in an interview last year.
Following specialised treatment and surgery, the conservationist said she felt that she had been given a “second chance at life”.
