Bindi and Chandler are also reportedly planning to keep their second child out of the spotlight, unlike Grace, who is a regular on the Wildlife Warriors social media page.
Terri apparently doesn’t agree with the decision, as she is apparently very interested in showing the public her growing family.
“It’s probably not how Terri wants it, but Bindi told her mom that when baby number two arrives, they’ll follow her rules,” the source said.

The publication alleged that the conservation duo were waiting for Chandler’s parents Chris and Shanna, who reside in the United States, to arrive in Australia for his birthday to break the happy news first.
“They expect to officially announce that another baby is on the way any day now,” a source reportedly told the publication.
“They also can’t wait to give Grace a sibling close in age. They really want a boy, since both Bindi and Chandler grew up with a sibling each and loved it.
