Bindi Iriwin, the 17-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, has revealed she has a boyfriend.

Irwin, who did not reveal who she’s dating in the interview with ET Online, has been seen with professional wakeboarder Chandler Powell lately.

“There is someone special in my life right now, and I'm really happy with that," she explained. "Life is wonderful at the moment."

Back in February, Irwin joked that her late father wouldn’t approve of her dating until she was at least 40.

“Dad said I can't date until I'm 40. So maybe I'll just focus on my studies. It's a long way off,” she said at the time. Her mom, Terri Irwin, also joked, “Teenage boys are scarier than crocodiles.”

Irwin was only 8 years old when her father died in 2006. She also told ET he will “always will be my living, breathing superhero,” saying her 11-year-old brother Robert is “so much like Dad sometimes it's a bit scary.”
