Bindi Irwin has just celebrated her 16th birthday but has already bagged herself a handsome new man!
Bindi couldn’t take her eyes off her handsome beau Luke Reavley, 24, on a day out in Byron Bay.
Luke seemed to have eyes only for Bindi too!
Bindi’s older man is a fellow zookeeper and is head of elephants at Australia Zoo.
The pair have been childhood friends since he started working there in 2007. But it’s only in recent months that the pair’s friendship has blossomed into a romance.
While the pair have yet to confirm their relationship, referring to each other as “great friends”, sources tell us they’ve fallen head over heels, bonding over their shared love of animals.
The cute couple are not shy to flaunt their love on social media, posting happy snaps of their adventures.
Another cute post of the pair on Instagram.
Other adventures that they’ve been on include a fun-filled road trip to Russell Crowe’s massive Indoor Garden Party at Coffs Harbour in January.
Bindi Instagrammed this cute birthday snap for Luke’s birthday a few weeks ago.
It seems Bindi’s not the only one smitten by Luke – her mum Terri, 50, and brother Robert, 10, consider him part of the family and the feeling is mutual.
Luke’s Facebook page lists him as being “in a relationship” but he chooses to keep the name of his famous girlfriend private.
