— -- "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Bindi Irwin posted a sweet photo with her boyfriend Chandler Powell and thanked him for all his support through the competition.

"He's here," the 17-year-old wrote Sunday, alluding to the fact he flew out to see her in Los Angeles.

"Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I'm tired. You're amazing," she added.

Powell is a wakeboarder from Florida and Irwin has been sharing sweet pics of the two hanging out for months now. He's also a global ambassador for Irwin's Wildlife Warriors team. She revealed she was dating "someone special" in July.

"There is someone special in my life right now, and I'm really happy with that," she told Entertainment Tonight.

Irwin is paired with Derek Hough in the latest season on "DWTS."
