The pair call the late wife of Crocodile Hunter Steve, 'Bunny'.
Former wakeboarder Chandler made the revelation as he recovered from having his tonsil out in hospital this week.

He posted a selfie of himself and Bindi sitting in the hospital bed and wrote in the caption: 'Just wanted to write a note to my amazing wife. I had to get my tonsils out and she has been taking the best care of me.
'I'm so lucky to be loved by you, [Bindi]. Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we've been in the hospital and I've been recovering.'
The beloved Aussie duo hinted at the nickname early last year during an interview with The Bump.
They revealed 'Bunny' was inspired by a childhood neighbour of Terri's, 58, back in Oregon who went by the same cute name.

'We spent a long time searching for grandma names that also had an animal link,' Bindi told the pregnancy website.
Meanwhile, Bindi's brother Robert Irwin, who turned 18 in December, has dubbed himself the 'fun uncle' or 'funcle'.
It comes during a trying few weeks for the Irwin family.
He said: 'I'm so lucky to be loved by you, [Bindi]. Also, thank you Bunny (my awesome mum-in-law) for taking care of Grace while we've been in the hospital and I've been recovering.'
Last week, Bindi revealed the family's 38-year-old echidna had died.
'Saying goodbye to our beautiful family member of 38 years,' Bindi wrote alongside a gallery of pictures of the pet.
'The sweetest, kindest, most wonderful echidna you ever did meet.'
She added alongside a love heart emoji: 'Rest In Peace, angel.'
Bindi and Chandler tied the knot in 2020 with their daughter Grace Warrior Irwin Powell being born the following year.
