If they have a boy, the couple will reportedly name him after Bindi’s late father, Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin.

It comes after Bindi told New Idea magazine that she and Chandler were already thinking about how they want to raise their children.
‘One day it’d be special to have my own little wildlife warriors,’ she said in December 2019.
‘I think it’s a way away right now, but when it does happen, I can guarantee you they’ll have their own Khaki because Khaki is not just a colour, it’s an attitude,’ she added.
