22-year-old Irwin and 23-year-old Powell shared the news in an Instagram post with a photo of the couple holding a miniature version of the Australia Zoo uniform and the caption: “Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021.

Chandler also posted the same photo on his Instagram page with the message: “We’re going to be parents!! We have a baby Wildlife Warrior on the way coming in 2021. Becoming a dad is the highlight of my life. I cannot wait to embark on this new adventure and life chapter with my gorgeous wife, @bindisueirwin. Bee, you’re going to be the most amazing mother.”

The couple were married in March 2020 at the Australia Zoo gardens, with no guests due to coronavirus pandemic except for Bindi’s brother, Robert (who walked her down the aisle), and her mom, Terri.

The Black-ish episode that never aired will finally make its debut on Hulu. The episode, titled “Please, Baby, Please,” focused on racism and the state of the country one year after Donald Trump was elected President, but was shelved by Disney/ABC in 2018.

Now, Hulu will finally be airing the episode, which series creator Kenya Barris announced on Twitter:  “In November 2017, we made an episode of ‘black-ish’ entitled ‘Please, Baby, Please.’ We were one year post-election and coming to the end of a year that left us, like many Americans, grappling with the state of our country and anxious about its future,” he wrote. “Those feelings poured onto the page, becoming 22 minutes of television that Iwas, and still am, incredibly proud of. Please, Baby, Please’ didn’t make it to air that season, and while much has been speculated about its contents, the episode has never been seen publicly… until now.”

Rachael Ray is speaking out after a fire tore through her and her husband’s home in upstate New York. On Sunday, a fire broke out at the residence of the talk show host, 51, and her husband John Cusimano, in Lake Luzerne — where the celebrity chef has been filming her show during the pandemic. A rep for Ray said that “the house is unfortunately damaged and we don’t yet know to what extent.”

On Monday, Ray tweeted her thanks to first responders, adding that her husband, her mother and her dog all escaped the blaze.

Ray had been at a charity golf outing with her husband earlier in the day, and fire officials said the cause of the blaze was still unknown.
