“Introducing our @australiazoo kangaroo joey to our human joey,” he captioned the post, which shows one of the marsupials taking an interest in their tiny human. “Grace loved meeting the littlest roos with her mama” The life update comes shortly after Irwin announced she’d be taking a social media break after she faced criticism over shedding light on some family drama around Father’s Day.
Irwin, 22, highlighted her late father, husband, and father-in-law in a Facebook post to celebrate the holiday. And when she was questioned why she had left out her 82-year-old grandfather from the shout-out, she reportedly wrote it was due to their lack of relationship, according to 7News.

An introvert and not someone who can navigate people well… He loves your Dad and you guys more than you know. This should be a private matter not written about on Facebook.” News of the Irwin family’s dispute comes roughly three months before the 15th anniversary of Steve Irwin’s death.
