"I see a lot of that passion that he had in her, she definitely got the Irwin genes and the Powell side as well. She's going to be an action-packed kid, when she starts walking, watch out world."

"Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior.
"Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad. There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed."
