When an overjoyed Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell announced their engagement in late July, they couldn’t wait to plan their dream wedding at Australia Zoo.
But four months on, Woman’s Day learns Bindi, 21, and Chandler, 22 – who have been dating since 2013 – may not even make it down the aisle. “The word is they’re having serious doubts about going through with it and are talking about whether to put the whole thing on hold for now,” an insider reveals. “They portray a picture-perfect existence but there are days Bindi just wants to cry because she doesn’t know if they should really be doing this.
“She and Chandler are talking very seriously about going back to the way they were, and walking away from the formality of it all to give themselves a much-needed break and take the pressure off.”
FAMILY TENSION
True to form, the loved-up couple have remained outwardly upbeat, with Bindi posting Instagram photos showing her and Chandler sampling wedding cake, and hints about wedding dress shopping.
But behind the scenes, Irwin family tensions have been at an all-time high – and sources say that’s a big reason behind Bindi’s secret desire to scale things down.
