Bindi Irwin has left fans in tears after sharing a sweet admission about her brother Robert Irwin and her daughter Grace Warrior. Speaking on Kylie Kelce’s podcast Not Gonna Lie, Bindi surprised fans when a funny conversation turned into a very sweet moment.

Kylie and Bindi were speaking about Robert’s recent thirst trap photos and his recent (shirtless) announcement that he would be taking part in the American Dancing With the Stars, when she joked, “There are some things as his sister that I can’t just unsee. When he did the Dancing announcement, he was shirtless, and he recently did his Bonds commercial, he was just in his underwear, and it is…it is rough.”

So laughed, “I really want to be supportive, I really am so proud of him. He’s taking the message of conservation to new heights!”

Bindi added, “Do I get a little bit scared of the women and girls and some guys who are very intense? It can be a lot. But he’s doing really well with all of it, and I am very proud of him.”

However, the conversation turned a little more sincere when Kylie brought up her brother-in-law Travis Kelce, saying he is “definitely king of the funcles – fun uncles,” with Bindi adding of Robert, “We say the same!”

When Kylie asked what he’s like as an uncle, Bindi said, “He is such a good uncle, we actually call him a funcle as well.”

“As Grace has grown up, she just gets more and more excited to go on Uncle Robert adventures,” she explained. “Because he kind of like pushes the limits a little. He does fun things and exciting things. And so she loves it. And he is so present with her, which I love so much.”

Bindi said that Robert’s energy as an uncle reminds her very much of their dad, Steve Irwin.

“When we were growing up as kids, me and Robert, it’s very similar with Dad, he would do the same thing, where he would just pick us up and be like, ‘OK, we’re gonna go hike up this mountain, or we’re heading to the Simpson Desert to research fear snakes,’ and off we would go!

“Dad was such an adventurer and I see that in Robert, like, I see he is so similar to Dad, and I’m really glad that Grace is gonna have that energy in her life, like she would’ve had from Dad.”

One fan commented on the video, “Dang it! This was funny until it made me cry!”

“Bindi’s got us all out here crying,” another added.

“The Irwin family is so precious,” a third said. “This clip absolutely made me tear up.”

“What an amazing thing to say about your sibling,” someone else added. “I’m sure they argued as kids, but the way they both talk about each other, their dad and especially their mom. It always just warms my soul.”

“That Bindi will make you smile and cry at the same time. She oozes love,” yet another said.

“Her and her brother have grown into the most incredible humans,” one person added. “Steve would’ve loved being a grandpa.”

“Sobbing… Steve was pure light and energy,” someone else shared. “I remember the day, ugh. Robert and Bindi exude twice as much of his energy as one would anticipate. It’s special to watch children live out their parents’ legacy.”
