Robert Irwin and Terri Irwin shared that Bindi Irwin is \u201cdoing so much better\u201d amid her ongoing battle with endometriosis in an exclusive interview with E! News.\u00a0
Bindi Irwin<\/a><\/strong> is on the mend.
Indeed, her brother Robert Irwin<\/a><\/strong> and mom Terri Irwin<\/strong> shared that the wildlife conservationist is doing well amid her ongoing health battle with endometriosis.
\u201cBindi is doing so much better now,\u201d Terri exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with her son at the 3rd Annual Steve Irwin Gala at the Bellagio in Las Vegas May 2. \u201cSo, things like a lot of travel are a bit challenging for her at the moment and so she\u2019ll be here next year to celebrate this wonderful night.\u201d
Adding that Bindi\u2014who shares 5-year-old daughter Grace<\/strong><\/a> with husband Chandler Powell<\/strong>\u2014was at the event \u201cin spirit,\u201d they noted that she\u2019s even gotten back to her wildlife conservation work.
\u201cThis year she\u2019s just staying a little close to home,\u201d she added. \u201cSo, ironically, it\u2019s less taxing for her to be home feeding crocodiles.\u201d
And imaginably so, that\u2019s no easy feat.
\u201cYou gotta remember [in] Australia Zoo there\u2019s 500 in our team,\u201d Robert chimed in. \u201cThere\u2019s about 500,000 acres of conservation land that we have. Someone\u2019s got to hold down the fort. So, Bindi\u2019s doing a great job at that.\u201d
In fact, Bindi is doing the kind of work that Robert knows his later father Steve Irwin<\/strong> would be proud of.
\u201cDad\u2019s legacy\u2019s never been more important because we all know there are big issues that face the planet,\u201d he explained. \u201cEnvironmentally, we\u2019ve kind of got a bit of an uphill battle right now in our generation. But it\u2019s important not to lose sight of hope. There\u2019s always hope if we can work together.\u201d
\u201cTo Keeping that sense of passion, positivity, philanthropy and conservation,\u201d the 22-year-old added, \u201cto keep all of that alive is not only an honor personally, but I think it\u2019s crucial.\u201d
Recently, Bindi, 27, opened up about the \u201cinescapable pain\u201d of having 50 lesions \u201ccut out\u201d of her body over the past three years amid her ongoing health battle<\/a> with the reproductive disorder.
\u201cTrying to keep my invisible illness to myself after being told by doctors it was just \u2018part of being a woman,\u2019\u201d Bindi captioned a\u00a0March 30 Instagram post<\/a>\u00a0alongside photos of herself in a hospital bed, \u201cI spent 10 years being undiagnosed. As a teenager and young woman, I felt weak and deeply insecure.\u00a0I was trapped in my own body.\u201d
While the Dancing with the Stars <\/em>season 21 champ has been open about her difficult journey with endometriosis, she hopes that her story can inspire other women living with the illness.
\u201cNo one deserves to suffer in silence,\u201d she wrote, \u201cIf you\u2019re in pain, my heart breaks for you. I believe you. Please find answers. And don\u2019t give up on yourself. I know how hard that can be.\u201d

–Reporting by John Redmann<\/strong>
Amy Schumer
For the comedian, endometriosis means dealing with "pain you can't see<\/a>."
"It's a lonely, lonely disease," she said in a 2022 episode of The Checkup with Dr. David Agus<\/a><\/em>. "You tell someone you get really bad cramps, and they're like, 'Oh, it's being a woman,' and you're like, 'no, it's irregular.'"
And the pain doesn't just happen during menstration, according to Amy. As she explained, "I've been in so much pain my whole life\u2014not just the week of my period. It's during ovulation."
After welcoming son Gene<\/strong> in 2019, the Kinda Pregnant<\/em> star had her uterus and appendix removed<\/a> as part of treatment.
"The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed," she shared in a video after her 2021 surgery. "He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it."
Barbara Palvin
The Victoria\u2019s Secret model struggled with \u201cfatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow, sleepless nights on the bathroom floor\u201d and more for years before she was diagnosed with endometriosis<\/a>.
\u201c\u00a0I\u2019ve been going to checkups to my gynecologist every year, I thought if I had endometriosis I would have known about it by now, but as it turns out, endometriosis can\u2019t be diagnosed with general examinations,\u201d she wrote on Instagram<\/a> in August 2025, three months after undergoing surgery to treat the condition. \u201cSince then I finally experienced a period that was easier, and now I know the difference.\u201d
Barbara added, \u201cEarly diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent long-term complications, and now I\u2019m more mindful about my body to act fast if needed.\u201d\u00a0
Olivia Culpo
The former Miss Universe said "at least 12" doctors dismissed her chronic pain before she was finally diagnosed with rectovaginal endometriosis, a severe form of the condition uterine-like lining grows on the surface of the rectum and vagina.
She underwent\u00a0surgery in 2020<\/a>, before welcoming daughter Colette<\/strong> with Christian McCaffrey <\/strong>five years later.
"I remember I felt like I was going to die, I was in so much pain," Olivia told the SHE MD<\/em>'s podcast<\/a> in 2024 of her struggles with endometriosis. "You're hot, you're hormonal, you're sensitive, you're in excruciating pain, and then someone's going to tell you you're overreacting or lying, just making you feel insane."
Bindi Irwin
Crikey! Endometriosis is a pain\u2014just ask the daughter of the late Steve Irwin<\/strong>.
Bindi\u00a0suffered in silence for more than a decade<\/a> before undergoing surgery in 2023<\/a> to treat endometriosis.
"Doctor after doctor would say, \u2018Hey, it\u2019s just part of being a woman, there\u2019s really nothing wrong with you,'" she recalled on a February 2025 episode of the A Life of Greatness <\/em>podcast<\/a>. "I was just getting more and more unwell, and it affects so many different parts of your life."
Ultimately, she ended up having 51 endometriosis lesions, a chocolate cyst and her appendix removed\u2014as well as surgery to close up an "unzipping" hernia<\/a> from birthing her daughter Grace Warrior <\/strong>in 2021\u2014before her health improved.
"I can FINALLY say that I\u2019m feeling better," Bindi wrote in an August 2025 Instagram post<\/a>. "I can function in everyday life without wanting to throw up or pass out from the pain. Slowly, slowly gaining my strength back."
Halsey
For the "Nightmare" singer, receiving their endometriosis diagnosis was a "bittersweet" moment.
"It was the relief of knowing that I wasn't making it all up and I wasn't being sensitive and it wasn't all in my head," they recalled during a 2018 appearance on The Doctors<\/a><\/em>. "It also kind of sucked to know that I was going to be living with this forever."
But things only took a turn a few months after their diagnosis. "Before I could even really figure out what that meant to me and what that meant for my future, for my career, for my life for my relationship," Halsey shared, "the next thing I know, I was onstage miscarrying in the middle of my concert."
And though the musician did eventually become a mom with the arrival of son Ender<\/strong> in 2021, they continued to struggle with the disorder, leading them to seek further treatment in 2024<\/a>.
Delilah Belle Hamlin
Lisa Rinna<\/strong> and Harry Hamlin<\/strong>'s oldest daughter went undiagnosed for years<\/a>.
\u201cI had really painful periods,\u201d Delilah recalled on a December 2025 episode of the SHE MD<\/a><\/em> podcast. \u201cAnd I saw so many different gynecologists and no one mentioned endometriosis.\u201d
The model said the first time she heard of endometriosis was when Halsey <\/strong>went public with their diagnosis. Looking back, Delilah said her struggles with pain contributed to her substance and alcohol abuse before getting sober in 2021<\/a>.
\u201cI definitely struggled with substance abuse because I was having so much depression and anxiety," she explained. "The panic attacks were so bad. No one\u2019s figuring out the root cause to all these things."
Lili Reinhart
The Riverdale <\/em>alum said she was "officially diagnosed" with endometriosis<\/a> in December 2025 after spending at least a year trying to track down the source of her discomfort.
"Last year, I saw a urogynecologist and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis," she wrote on Instagram<\/a>. "Three hospital visits. Multiple urologists and gynecologists. And not one of them seriously considered endometriosis as the underlying cause of what I was experiencing."
Lili said "pushed for an MRI," which led to a diagnosis of adenomyosis, a benign condition where the uturine lining grows into the muscular wall.
"From there, I met with an endometriosis specialist who helped me decide that laparoscopic surgery was the next step I wanted to take," she continued, adding that she was diagnosed with endometriosis after the procedure. "\u2019I'm glad I trusted my body and listened to my gut and will continue advocating for others to do so."
Emma Roberts
Before the birth of her son Rhodes<\/strong> in 2020, the American Horror Story<\/em> star froze her eggs after learning that she had been suffering from undiagnosed endometriosis<\/a>\u00a0since her teenage years.
"I always had debilitating cramps and periods, so bad that I would miss school and, later, have to cancel meetings," she recalled in a 2020 interview with Cosmopolitan<\/em><\/a>. "I mentioned this to my doctor, who didn't look into it and sent me on my way because maybe I was being dramatic?"
But during her late 20s, the actress switched to a female doctor, who was able to diagnose her with the disorder.
"Finally, there was validation that I wasn't being dramatic," Emma shared. "But by then, it had affected my fertility. I was told, 'You should probably freeze your eggs or look into other options.'"
Anitta
The "Envolver" singer was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2022 after struggling with recurring pain from sex.
"Every time I had sex with the more well-endowed guy,\u00a0I couldn't even walk the next day or 48 hours later from so much pain," she wrote in Portuguese on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter) at the time. "So obviously in these 9 years of struggle I went through was people telling me the same things… and nothing to resolve it."
It wasn't until Anitta (real name Larissa de Macedo Machado<\/strong>) met a "guardian angel" doctor, who found discovered that the pain was related to endometriosis.
"Lack of hygiene? No. Lack of a condom? No. Lack of water? No," she recalled of previous diagnoses from other doctors. "Lack of thoroughly researching all the variables that each body can respond to an anomaly with? YES."
"Endometriosis is very common among women. It has various side effects, in different ways for each body," Anitta added. "It's not normal for us to live with this pain like this forever."
Janel Parrish
It's no lie: Endometriosis is a pain. The Pretty Little Liars<\/em> star got candid about her struggles with the chronic disorder in 2024, when she underwent surgery to remove cysts and scar tissues<\/a> she got "as a result of the disease."
"I usually keep my private life private," Janel wrote on Instagram<\/a> at the time, "but I wanted to share this if it can help other women suffering to know they\u2019re not alone."
"To my Endo sisters, there is so little information out there about this and there is no cure," she continued. "Seeing other women posting about their experienced made ME feel stronger. I hope this helps keeps the conversation about Endo flowing, so we can raise awareness and lift each other up."
Tia Mowry
The Sister, Sister<\/em> alum was diagnosed with endometriosis during her late '20s, when she and ex Cory Hardrict\u00a0<\/strong>started thinking about having kids together.
"The diagnosis wasn't the first time I realized something might be wrong," she recalled in a 2018 essay for Women's Health<\/em><\/a>. "I'd been experiencing extreme pelvic pain for <\/em>years and went to several doctors. Each one would brush me off."
Tia said she was finally diagnosed after seekinh help from an "incredible African American doctor."
"Many African American women are often misdiagnosed because there's been less research done on the prevalence of endometriosis in our community," she continued, explaining that she "ended up needing to have multiple surgeries."
"If I could say anything to the Tia who was in a dark, lonely place, struggling to get pregnant, I would tell her don't give up," added Tia, who's mom to sons Cree <\/strong>and Cairo<\/strong>. "And remember: Do not feel alone, because you are not."
\u00a0
Chrissy Teigen
The Cravings<\/em> cookbook author underwent surgery to treat endometriosis in 2021<\/a>, describing the procedure as "a toughie."
"My whole belly got numbed," she wrote on Instagram alongside footage of her recovery. "It makes it hard, every little cough and stuff. But it is truly still better than the contractions and the pain of endo."
Daisy Ridley
Having been diagnosed with endometriosis at age 15, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens <\/em>star continued to struggle with pain associated from the disorder in her adult years.
"One laparoscopy, many consultations and 8 years down the line, pain was back (more mild this time!) and my skin was THE WORST," she wrote on Instagram in 2016<\/a>. "I've tried everything: products, antibiotics, more products, more antibiotics) and all that did was left my body in a bit of a mess. Finally found out I have polycystic ovaries and that's why it's bad. I can safely say feeling so self-conscious has left my confidence in tatters."
Lena Dunham
Though the Girls <\/em>creator began experiencing symptoms of endometriosis during her first period, it wasn't until she was 25 when she received an official diagnosis<\/a>. By then, the disease had already affected multiple organs\u2014including her bladder, liver and appendix\u2014leading her to eventually seek a full hysterectomy<\/a>.
"I wake up surrounded by family and doctors eager to tell me I was right," she recalled of the procedure in a 2018 Vogue<\/em> essay<\/a>. "My uterus is worse than anyone could have imagined. It\u2019s the Chinatown Chanel purse of nightmares, full of both subtle and glaring flaws."
In addition, Lena said doctors discovered "retrograde bleeding, a.k.a. my period running in reverse, so that my stomach is full of blood" during the operation.\u00a0
"Let\u2019s please not even talk about my uterine lining," she penned. "The only beautiful detail is that the organ\u2014which is meant to be shaped like a lightbulb\u2014was shaped like a heart."
\u00a0
Julianne Hough
The Dancing With the Stars<\/em> co-host was diagnosed with\u00a0endometriosis<\/a>\u00a0in 2008 after she was rushed to a hospital with severe stomach cramps.
"It turned out I ruptured a cyst that was on my ovary," she wrote on her blog at the time. "I didn't know but I have endometriosis. I've apparently had it for a long time because I've had this pain for about the last five years."
Since then, Julianne has been candid about her struggles with the disease, including how it effects her journey to motherhood<\/a>.
"Navigating fertility is never simple, especially with endometriosis and my own personal timeline and hopes around having children," the TV personality\u2014who divorced\u00a0Brooks Laich\u00a0<\/strong>in 2022<\/a>\u2014wrote on Instagram<\/a> in 2025. "This is my third round of egg freezing and I know it\u2019s not always the most comfortable thing to talk about, let alone share publicly."
Mae Whitman
Years before her motherhood journey<\/a>, the Parenthood <\/em>actress experienced with what she called "the MOST violently painful extremely intense pain" during her periods.
"I've been to countless gynecologists and struggled for the last 20 years to get answers re: the cause of said pain," she shared in a 2019 Instagram post. "Almost all of them told me either A. period Pain was normal B. I should go on birth control."
Mae didn't find relief until speaking to her friend Lena Dunham<\/strong>, who recommended her to an endometriosis specialist that helped her form a "comprehensive lifestyle plan to diagnose, excise, and not only manage, but really BEAT this technically incurable disease."
"Knowing I\u2019m on the road to recovery gives me hope for my future that I never had before," she added. "I see a path ahead where I\u2019m not weighed down by pain, fatigue, and depression 2 out of the 4 weeks of every month of my life."
Tara Lipinski
The Olympic figure skater underwent laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis<\/a> in 2020 after spending years dealing with intermittent pain that she admittedly "overlooked."
"I probably didn\u2019t describe my symptoms accurately or forcefully enough to my doctors for them to suspect endometriosis," she shared on Instagram. "Over the last five years the pain progressed, but because it wasn\u2019t constant or startling intense I just chose to ignore it."
As it turned out, Tara said she had "moderate amounts of endo" in her system.
She underwent another surgery in 2024, removing her fallopian tubes as well as what she described as a "painful endometrioma" on her ovary.
"I have embryos on ice so if I ever wanted to try to become pregnant again," Tara, who gave birth to daughter Georgie<\/strong> in 2023, noted on Instagram Stories, "I wouldn't need my tubes\u2014straight to my uterus."
Padma Lakshmi
Chronic pain associated with endometriosis led Top Chef<\/em> host's three-year marriage to Salman Rushdie<\/strong>, who she divorced in 2007.
"Endometriosis was definitely a major reason that my marriage failed and I don't think either of us understood it at the time. I think that's also because I hid it to a certain degree, not intentionally but you know, it's weird to talk about your period all the time. It's like the least sexy thing in the world to do."
When the Top Chef <\/em>host became pregnant with daughter Krishna<\/strong> in 2009, doctors told her that the baby was "nothing short of a medical miracle<\/a>" due to her endometriosis.
\u00a0
Savannah Chrisley
The Chrisley Knows Best<\/em> star perhaps knows best when it comes to the discomfort associated with endometriosis.
"I was diagnosed with Endometriosis when I was 18 and it\u2019s been quite the struggle," she wrote on Instagram<\/a> in 2020. "The pain at times is unbearable and the toll it takes on my emotional\/psychological health is pretty rough at times."
During her third surgery<\/a> to treat the condition, Savannah said doctors found a huge cyst<\/a>, as well as scar tissue on her ovaries, bladder and the surrounding area.
Monica
The "Boy Is Mine" singer underwent nearly eight hours of surgery in June 2017 after being diagnosed with endometriosis two weeks prior. During the procedure, doctors removed two cysts, fibroids and a hernia that Monica said were "making me very sick."
\u201cI\u2019ve known something was wrong," she wrote on Instagram at the time, "but I also knew victory & better health would be near again!!\u201d
\u00a0
Romy Reiner
Having suffered ovarian cysts since her early teenage years, the daughter of the late Rob Reiner<\/strong> and Michele Reiner\u00a0<\/strong>underwent surgery in 2023, when she said doctors found "endometriosis in multiple places."
"It\u2019s a shame that this isn\u2019t more globally recognized as a serious illness," she wrote on Instagram<\/a>, adding that she also had her appendix removed due to inflammation. "I can almost say for a fact that disease and inflammation can be part of the by product of experiencing trauma."
