Has the last member of the Irwin family arrived?
Bindi Irwin, 22, pushed fans into overdrive with a huge hint on Instagram that she gave birth to her daughter.
The daughter of wildlife legend Steve Irwin regularly updated her social media followers throughout her pregnancy with snaps of her plump belly, but was silent for almost a week.
The silence led fans to believe the new arrival has arrived.
The blackout follows Bindi and her husband Chandler Powell, 24, sharing identical Instagram posts on Sunday that made it look like their child had entered the world.
The couple shared a photo of them gently touching Bindi’s stomach with the caption: “My world.”

But followers quickly noticed that it was actually a throwback image from an article published a week earlier.
In an image Chandler shared on Friday, his wife apparently went to great lengths to hide her stomach, once again prompting people to chat about their daughter’s birth.
In the snap, Bind’s knee and arm were tactically placed to obscure any view of his stomach. The caption next to the post may have cryptically read, “Another day of important meetings at #AustraliaZoo. “
A previous article from Bindi showed her belly hidden by a red panda named Ravi.
The posts certainly set the rumor mill in full swing. Some believe the duo are keeping the child’s arrival a secret so they can enjoy their early days as parents in private.

Otherwise, others think they could protect a magazine or a TV contract.
The child will be the couple’s first baby and they have announced they will be having a daughter in September.
At the time, Bindi shared an image on social media of her holding an ultrasound.
She captioned it: “Little girl, you are our world. Our beautiful daughter is now about the same size as a little Aldabra tortoise and is as healthy as she gets. We look forward to his arrival next year. “
