Earlier in June, in the same fashion, Bindi honored her parents, Terri and Steve, on their anniversary. The couple tied the knot in June 1992 and were married until the beloved Crocodile Hunter's untimely demise in September 2006. 

The "Spidey and His Amazing Friends" voice actress took to social media to drop a throwback photo of her parents posing on the beach. Steve stood with one arm around his wife and rested the other arm on the open passenger door of his famous white Land Cruiser.

He crossed one leg before the other as the wind blew Terri's hair. In the caption, Bindi wrote: "A love like this is eternal. Happy Anniversary to my extraordinary parents. ❤️.”

Steve and Terri got lauded with sweet comments underneath the post. One person commented, "Definitely soulmates! They were meant for one another. Happy Anniversary!! 💜," while another admitted:

"Such a great portion of my adolescence was shaped by your beloved parents. Thankful that you have publicly continued the legacy with such grace and goodness."
