IRWIN FAMILY DRAMA THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Whispers of marriage problems could see the embattled clan reunite

The heartbreaking rift that has long marred the Irwin family may finally be over as Bindi Irwin and her estranged cousin Rebecca Lobie look close to reconciling their tumultuous relationship.

Bindi, 24, and 34-year-old Rebecca - who is the daughter of Steve's sister Joy - reportedly fell out following a spate of sudden, mysterious departures at Australia Zoo, which culminated in Joy and husband Frank Muscillo leaving in 2015.

But a well-placed insider tells Woman's Day that while Bindi is "fiercely loyal to her mum", she is open to starting a dialogue with her cousin after rumours began circling that Rebecca is having issues with her husband of 16 years, Mick.
