But on Wednesday, the 21-year-old wildlife conservationist took to Instagram to announce that she and Chandler are extending their family… but it’s not what you think.
“Our family is growing! Chandler and I are so happy to introduce you to our sweetheart Piggy,” Bindi captioned a carousel of snaps, which showed them with their new adopted puppy.
“2020 is going to be beautiful. Happy New Year,” she added.
In the first photo, Bindi is seen casting an affectionate gaze towards Chandler, while cradling her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which is looking at the couple with puppy-dog eyes.
A follow-up snap shows the sprightly pup running and leaping in the air while playing in the garden with its new adopted parents.
Chandler later shared the news on his own personal Instagram, writing: “Welcoming our newest and cutest family member.
“Introducing Piggy our gorgeous puppy. Can’t wait to begin the new decade giving this sweetheart the happiest and most loving home. 2020 here we come!”
Bindi replied: “My heart is overwhelmed with so much happiness and love. Here’s to the next incredible life chapter.”
Enthusiastic fans were quick to take to Instagram to gush over the puppy and congratulate Bindi and Chandler on giving the animal a loving new home.
“Awwww what a lucky little girl she is. Congratulations guys,” one person wrote.
Another person stated: “Aw… love my Cav King Charles Spaniel… a more loving dog you will not find!!! Blessings on you three this year and decade!! Thank you for all you do!!”
A third person added: “Omg…the cutest little puppy ever!!”
