Powell, an 18-year-old professional wakeboarder, was, unfortunately, not able to celebrate with Irwin, daughter of Steve Irwin. Instead, he sent her a touching Instagram message, sharing a cute picture of the cute couple with the caption, “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!”

A few weeks ago, Irwin shared a photo of herself standing with Powell to announce he had joined her Wildlife Warriors team. Irwin works closely with the Australia Zoo, and is an advocate for the Wildlife Warriors, a group created by her father, Steve and her mother Terri Irwin. “Our global ambassadors are changing the world and making a huge difference to spread the message of conservation. We must work together to create a beautiful world for the generations to come,” Irwin wrote on Instagram.
