She wrote on Instagram: "We held a small ceremony and I married my best friend. There are no words to describe the amount of love and light in my heart right now.

"We've planned this beautiful day for nearly a year and had to change everything, as we didn't have guests at our wedding. This was a very difficult decision but important to keep everyone safe.

"We wish all of our friends and family could have been there with us, however it's lovely that we will be able to share photos and videos.

"Right now we're encouraging the world to hold onto hope and love, which will carry us forward during this profound time in history.

"Today we celebrated life and revelled in every beautiful moment we shared together in our Australia Zoo gardens. Mum helped me get ready, Robert walked me down the aisle, Chandler became my husband and together we lit a candle in Dad's memory. We shared tears and smiles and love.

"Thankfully, since we all live at Australia Zoo as a family, we could be there for each other. To everyone reading this - stay safe, social distance and remember LOVE WINS!"

Her new husband Chandler, added on his own Instagram feed: "After almost a year of planning, we changed everything so that we could enjoy a safe and small private ceremony at our home, Australia Zoo.

"As we embark on this new life chapter I hope that we can share some love in the world, especially during this challenging time."

Bindi's brother Robert also shared his congratulations on social media, revealing he was able to walk his sister down the aisle as planned.

"This is a day that we will never forget," Robert said.

"Even though all of your wedding plans had to change at the last minute to keep everyone safe and healthy, it truly was an emotional and beautifully spontaneous day... I know that Dad was with us, and we are all so delighted for your future as husband and wife. I love you both."

Congrats, guys!
