Terri Irwin Shares Update on Bindi’s Health Battle — “She’s Doing So Much Better”

Terri Irwin and her son Robert shared an emotional update on Bindi Irwin’s ongoing battle with endometriosis while attending the third annual Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas.

Bindi, 27, was noticeably absent from the event, raising concern among fans. Her mother explained that Bindi is improving but is currently limiting travel because it can be exhausting.

“Bindi is doing so much better now,” Terri told E! News. “Things like a lot of travel are a bit challenging for her at the moment, so she’ll be here next year.”

Terri added that Bindi was staying closer to home and helping with the family’s conservation work at Australia Zoo.

“Ironically, it’s actually less exhausting for her to be at home feeding crocodiles,” Terri said.

Robert reassured fans that his sister was “with us in spirit,” adding that she was doing an amazing job helping manage the family’s conservation efforts.

Bindi’s health update comes months after she revealed that doctors had removed more than 50 endometriosis lesions from her body over the past three years. She also underwent surgery to remove a chocolate cyst, an appendectomy, and a hernia repair.

Bindi previously shared that she had suffered years of severe, unexplained pain before finally receiving a diagnosis. Doctors had once dismissed her symptoms as “part of being a woman.”

After treatment, she said her quality of life improved dramatically, allowing her to enjoy everyday moments with her daughter, Grace, without constant pain and nausea.

Bindi may not have been at the gala this year, but her family made it clear that she remains close in heart—and is doing better.
