While Robert said at the gala that Bindi was doing okay, Bindi’s recent social media update will likely leave fans feeling a little more assured that her recovery is going well.
The 26-year-old’s husband, Chandler Powell, shared a sweet tribute to Bindi in honor of Mother’s Day, writing alongside a photo of her and their daughter Grace, “Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful, extraordinary wife. I feel unbelievably lucky to spend my life married to you.”
“It’s incredible to see the strong, kind, amazing mama you are to our daughter. I’m grateful that she gets to grow up with you as her inspiration. We love you so much❤️,” the statement went on.
In the comments, Bindi wrote back, “Our family is my ENTIRE world. I love you so much. Thank you for being the greatest husband to me and dad to Grace. ❤️❤️❤️.” She also re-shared the post in her Instagram Stories, celebrating the special day.
