News in a joint interview with Robert at the 3rd Steve Irwin Gala at the Bellagio in Las Vegas at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cSo, things like a lot of travel are a bit challenging for her at the moment, and so she\u2019ll be here next year to celebrate this wonderful night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cThis year she\u2019s just staying a little close to home,\u201d she added. \u201cSo, ironically, it\u2019s less taxing for her to be home feeding crocodiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Robert chimed in: \u201cYou gotta remember (in) Australia Zoo, there\u2019s 500 in our team, there\u2019s about 500,000 acres of conservation land that we have. Someone\u2019s got to hold down the fort. So, Bindi\u2019s doing a great job at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">It comes after Bindi also missed the 2025 gala after she was rushed to hospital with a ruptured appendix and needed emergency surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Bindi, who shares five-year-old daughter Grace with her husband Chandler Powell, took to social media in March to open up about living with the chronic disease, where tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside it and causes inflammation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cTrying to keep my invisible illness to myself after being told by doctors it was just \u2018part of being a woman,\u2019\u201d Bindi captioned a March 30 Instagram post alongside photos of herself in a hospital bed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI spent 10 years being undiagnosed.
