"Bindi is doing so much better now," Terri told E! News of he 27-year-old daughter. "Things like a lot of travel are a bit challenging for her at the moment, and so she'll be here next year to celebrate this wonderful night."
She added, "But this year, she's just staying a little close to home. So ironically, it's less taxing for her to be home feeding crocodiles. But that's what she's doing every day in our Crocoseum."
To that, Robert pointed out, "You gotta remember, like, Australia Zoo is 500 in our team. There's about 500,000 acres of conservation land, and someone's gotta hold down the fort. So Bindi's doing a great job at that. They're with us in spirit, for sure."

In May 2025, Bindi shared a hopeful health update on Instagram, writing, "Healing. Thank you for your incredible words of support and kindness."
She added, “The reason I share my health journey is because more girls and women desperately need answers to their undiagnosed pain. I’ve battled with endometriosis for more than 12 years. This disease is crippling and can make you feel incredibly isolated.”
