“Chandler loves conservation and wildlife and travel,” she says. “And he really does have this strength, which I’m thankful for because you have to be strong to jump on crocodiles!”

“At the moment we’re just enjoying where we’re at,” she says. “We’re having a great time together on these wonderful adventures and we’ll see what happens next!”
