Australian star Robert Irwin has sent his famous and beloved older sister, Bindi Irwin, a heartfelt Happy Birthday wish as she turns 28.
Conservationist, “Dancing with the Stars” winner, and the host of the new “Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro,” Robert, 22, is extremely close to his family — not least since the tragic passing of their beloved father, Steve Irwin, when he was just 44 back in 2006.
Bindi — herself a conservationist, actress, television personality, and “Dancing with the Stars” winner — was born on July 24, 1998, in Buderim, Queensland (per Famous Birthdays).
Robert took to social media to send his sibling a lovely message.

In some of them, they’re joined by the likes of their mother Terri Irwin, their late father Steve Irwin, and “Dancing with the Stars” professional Derek Hough, with whom Bindi won season 21 of the show back in 2015.
Robert’s caption on his post reads, “Happy birthday @bindisueirwin. You’re someone who I can always count on for advice and a laugh, I have always looked up to you and I’m so grateful that I’ve got the coolest older sister on earth. Love you!”
