Yes, Nana on Bluey (Chris Heeler) is married to Grandpa Bob, who is Bandit's dad and the grandfather of Bluey and Bingo, appearing in episodes like "Grannies" and()The Sign," showing their long-standing, loving, though sometimes traditional, relationship.
We already have a child of divorce in Winton, whose parents are separated, and even an analogy in "The Decider" with Chuckie. But, if we are to have a child dealing with their parents in an active divorce, then that wouldn't be any of the Heeler girls, but perhaps one of their friends.
Bob is the husband of Chris (Nana), the dad of Bandit, Stripe, and Rad, the father-in-law of Chilli, Trixie, and Frisky, and the grandpa of Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks.
Bluey introduced its first same-sex couple in the Season 3 finale, "The Sign," when Bluey's friend Pretzel mentioned having "two mums" in a brief, casual line while talking about his guinea pig. This subtle inclusion of a queer family sparked significant discussion online, with some parents praising the increased inclusivity and others voicing criticism, though the reference itself was a fleeting moment in the episode.
BobbaBobba. Grandpa Bob, or “Bobba” as the kids sometimes call him, is Bandit's dad. He is retired and lives with Nana Chris at an apartment on the Gold Coast. He enjoys going to the beach and acting silly around the house.
The creators of "Bluey" have openly stated that Bluey is a girl. This revelation aims to challenge traditional gender norms and present a character that both boys and girls can admire and relate to. Bluey's adventures are universal, showcasing themes of family, friendship, and growth that resonate across genders.
MUMMUM. Work on their heads later, for now, just hearts. Chilli is Bluey and Bingo's mum!
At the end we see an adult Bluey! Not only did I love seeing Chilli and Bandit as old people, and Bluey grown up… but we figure out Bluey marry's McKenzie (based on her kids coloring)!!!
While there isn't a main character officially identified as non-binary in Bluey, the show features Poochy, a fan-created character from fanon wikis (not official) who is depicted as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns. More significantly, the official show introduces subtle LGBTQ+ representation, such as the two moms mentioned by Pretzel in "The Sign," and its gender-neutral character design allows for fluid exploration of identity, which some viewers interpret as embodying non-binary themes, especially through Bingo's playful experimentation with names and roles.
bluey has repeatedly shown that she has difficulty staying focused. this is most obvious in the episode hide and seek where she is selected to be the seeker but keeps getting sidetracked by other things. the episode fruit bat also shows that she has difficulty getting to sleep, which is a lesser known symptom of ADHD.
The saddest Bluey episodes often tackle grief, family struggles, and growing up, with "Copycat" (death), "Onesies" (miscarriage/infertility), "Sleepytime" (separation anxiety/growing up), "Granddad" (aging parents), and "Baby Race" (parental self-doubt) frequently cited by fans as emotionally impactful tearjerkers that resonate deeply with both kids and adults.
It's not that they are divorced, its the divorce undertones of the scene where Lucky has to choose which parent to go with for the night.
Psychologists praise Bluey for modeling emotional intelligence, resilience, and positive parenting, viewing it as a valuable tool that teaches coping skills, empathy, and the importance of imaginative play through relatable family dynamics and age-appropriate handling of real-life challenges like grief or separation anxiety. Studies highlight how the show's characters, particularly Bandit and Chilli, demonstrate effective emotional coaching, helping kids learn to manage feelings and build strength, making it beneficial for both children's development and parental guidance.

Bluey introduced LGBTQ+ representation through the character Pretzel, a friend of Bluey's, who mentions having two mothers in the Season 3 finale, "The Sign," marking the first confirmed same-sex couple in the series. The detail was subtle, shown as part of everyday life, with Pretzel's mums being the lesbian couple.
Bingo finally decides to marry Lila, but Bluey is upset because she doesn't want Bingo to be gay even though they are all female, making the title Lesbian.
Bingo is a young Red Heeler girl with light cream, orange and dark orange fur. Much like Bluey, she has a rectangular-shaped body.
While they're friends, Mackenzie and Bluey appear to show some friendly rivalry. While Mackenzie and Bluey do have disagreements when playing games, as prominent in "Shops", the two are depicted as very close friends overall.
Bandit is one of the members of the Heeler family. He is the husband of Chilli, the father of Bluey and Bingo, the younger brother of Rad and the older brother of Stripe, brother-in-law of Trixie, Brandy, and Frisky, son of Bob and Chris, the uncle of Muffin and Socks and the son-in-law of Mort and his late wife.
She and her sister Chilli would also entertain their mother with a dance they made up. At some point after either Bluey or Bingo was born, Brandy distanced herself due to the grief of her sister being able to grow a family while she herself had fertility issues.
Jean-Luc and Bluey form a fast connection and despite only seeing each other for a few days, they remember each other forever. As Jean-Luc gets older, he teaches himself to speak English so he can return to Australia and visit Bluey.
