The 17-year-old Dancing With the Stars champ, who turns 18 on July 24, has been in a relationship with 19-year-old wakeboarder Chandler Powell for the past year, and she raved about him when ET spoke to her in March.
"[Chandler] is a part of the family now," she said at the time. "I don't know who loves him more, me or my family."
When asked if Chandler could be "the one," Bindi admitted they have a special bond, but also acknowledged that she has a lot of living left to do.
"He's a huge part of my journey in life," she said at the time. "At this point in my life, I'm looking forward to a lot of things. I'm going to be 18. There's so much on the horizon!"
