The late Steve Irwin wont be there to walk daughter Bindi down the aisle when she marries next year. Instead, the next best man for the job will do the honors: The Crocodile Hunters teen son, Robert Irwin .

On Monday, Robert, 15, confirmed hell step into the big role while reposting a photo that Bindi, 21, shared of her wedding dress.

I said yes to the dress , tweeted Bindi, who announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Chandler Powell in July.

Retweeting the photo, her younger brother sweetly added: Cant wait to walk you down the aisle .

Cant wait to walk you down the aisle https://t.co/7Njoi6Xphz

Robert Irwin (@RobertIrwin) September 30, 2019

The siblings were 8 and 2 years old when Irwin, a beloved wildlife expert and TV personality, died in 2006 while filming an underwater documentary. Since then, theyve followed in their fathers footsteps, both working at the Australia Zoo, which Steve transformed into a major wildlife reserve and tourist attraction during his life. (His wife Terri currently runs the zoo.)

In fact, the wildlife reserve happens to be where Bindi met her fianc.

Powell, a 22-year-old former professional wakeboarder from Florida, was visiting the Australia Zoo in 2013 on a day when Bindi was working.

It just so happened that Bindi was giving tours that day, he told People in December. Im like, Wow she is amazing. He added: We havent looked back since.

Powell, who now works at the zoo with the family, proposed to Bindi in July on her 21st birthday.
