In the sweet image, Robert wrapped his arms around the tiny tot as she giggled in his arms.
She looked adorable in a pink bobble hat, fleece jumper and an animal-print bib.
Grace is the daughter of Robert’s sister Bindi, 23, and her husband Chandler Powell, 24.

Chandler who hails from Florida, hasn’t seen his family in person since he and Bindi spent three weeks with them in December 2019.
The Powells also haven’t been able to meet the couple’s daughter Grace Warrior, who was born in March, because of Covid restrictions.
‘Chandler is excitedly planning a trip to America so his parents can finally meet little Grace,’ a source close to the family told Woman’s Day.
‘He’s really hoping they’ll be able to go for Christmas, even though Bindi wants her first festive season to be at Australia Zoo, so they’re still ironing that one out.’
The insider added that Chandler’s parents have found it ‘extremely hard’ having him on the other side of the world during the coronavirus pandemic.

While their planned trip to the U.S. is supposed to be a holiday, Bindi and Chandler reportedly haven’t ruled out living there permanently one day.
‘They’ve discussed the idea of moving to the States a few times now,’ the source said, adding that it’d be nice for Grace to get to know her father’s roots eventually.
However, there are no plans to relocate anytime soon because a lot of work still needs to be done to help Australia Zoo financially recover post-Covid.
