Gosh, she's 21 yrs old and has been dating the guy for almost six years (making her around 15 when they met!).  It's actually a sweet story.  Chandler Powell is from Florida and was visiting Australia when he decided to go to the Australia zoo.  He hit it off with Bindi right away.  He said that she gave a tour then and he was blown away by how terrific she was.  He moved to Australia and has lived at the family zoo with them.  He proposed on Bindi's 21st birthday (and came up with a hefty diamond ring!) Chandler is 22 yrs old.

Text I just wrote is from multiple sources I read online today, including People.  The photo is from the CNN online site.

About the ring----

The photo and text are from Yahoo Lifestyle:  (I see another posted photo of ring while my photo was still loading).   The text is worth reading though!  

Beautiful oval cut.  It's a lab-created diamond!

"Romantic pick

Now, details have emerged about the sparkler Chandler gifted his longtime love, which is estimated to have cost the 22-year-old up to AU$70,000.

"For those wondering about my ring, I'm so happy to share," Bindi wrote to her fans on Instagram.

"My ring features a lab grown diamond and is made with rose gold recycled metal. Chandler was incredibly thoughtful when he chose it.

“The ring captures the essence of who I am (with its vintage flare) and our life together with the twisted band and scattered diamonds."
