— -- For Bindi Irwin's 17th birthday, professional wakeboarder Chandler Powell, a rumored flame, posted a touching message to Instagram.

"Happy Birthday to this gorgeous girl! Feel very blessed to have you in my life. Counting down the days until I get to see you again! @bindisueirwin #TotallyGushing #ILoveCamping #ILoveTheOutdoors #ISwamTheCrocPond," he wrote.

Irwin, the daughter of famed "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, told Entertainment Tonight earlier this week that "There is someone special in my life right now, and I'm really happy with that."

She added, "He would have to be very kind and loyal ... You've gotta love the outdoors and have that same passion for making the world a better place."

She also mentioned camping, something Powell joked about in his message.
