Terri Irwin and Dickie Wilkins go public!

They couldn't be happier to share the news. - by New Idea
  • 09 Nov 2020

The Irwin family are excitedly counting down the months until the much-anticipated arrival of Bindi and Chandler’s first baby. But behind the scenes, there are some important related negotiations going on between Terri Irwin and none other than Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins.

WATCH: Terri Irwin's first emotional interview after Steve's death

An insider tells New Idea the legendary celebrity journo is first in line to bag an exclusive chat with the new parents, as soon as they’re ready to go public and show off their bundle of joy to the world.

And Terri and Dickie have recently been enjoying working out the details of the exclusive interview in a series of zoom chats.

“If you ask Dickie, who has interviewed the world, who his favourite interview subjects are, the Irwins are number one,” spills the source.

In fact, the Today Show interviewer has forged what the insider calls a “very close bond” with Terri and her children – so much so that Richard can’t wait to invite Terri to Sydney for dinner with him and his mates once restrictions ease.

“Terri, also a consummate professional when it comes to being media savvy, appreciates Richard’s long-standing TV career,” notes the insider.

While Bindi has been very open about her pregnancy, sharing updates and photos of her bump on social media, it is understandable the wildlife warrior wants to give her first post-partum interview to a trusted friend.

“The Irwins always make time for Richard for a chat,” says the source, adding that he’s a favourite with the family.

After all, amid the excitement of Bindi becoming a first-time mum and Terri a grandmother, it’s been a challenging year for the Australia Zoo family due to COVID-19.

Now, everyone’s hoping Terri will get a chance to focus on finding her own happiness before the arrival of the baby.

“Bindi would love nothing more than to see Terri find a nice guy and settle down,” a source told US magazine, Globe, earlier this year.
