Robert Irwin Named First Celebrity For Dancing With The Stars

Fans are excited that Robert Irwin will be competing on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. His sister Bindi Irwin won the Mirrorball Trophy in 2015. She was on Season 21 with Derek Hough. At the time, Robert was only 11 years old.

When 21-year-old Irwin was introduced as the first celebrity for Season 34, he was introduced as being “very single.” He had previously ended his relationship with Rorie Buckley. They were together less than a year before deciding to go their separate ways. Then, he was rumored to be dating another zoo worker, Charlotte Briggs. They reportedly split in February 2025.

Robert, the son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, also did a modeling campaign this year for Bonds Underwear. Fans went wild when the series of photos was released. Irwin commented on the photos and said, “That has been an eye opening experience for sure. I think moreso for my family. I think my sister goes, I showed her. I was like ‘Hi, how cool is this!’ And she’s like, ‘Robert, there are some things I cannot unsee. ’”

This campaign has earned more than $8 million in media exposure.

Irwin Shares If He’d Do The Bachelor Following DWTS

Robert Irwin spoke with Entertainment Tonight about being selected for DWTS. He also dished on whether he would ever consider being The Bachelor. 

Would the heartthrob Australian ever consider being The Bachelor? He was asked by reporter Mischelle Turner about the potential opportunity. She said to him, “I feel like, now you’re in the ABC family, why stop at Dancing With the Stars? The Bachelor could be next.”

Robert responded to the question saying, “The Bachelor, you reckon?’ Hey, I mean, never say never. I mean, I’m looking for the perfect person, so stranger things have happened.”

Turner showed him a photoshopped picture of him with a snake around his neck, like he was when introduced as a celebrity dancer. This photoshopped photo also had him holding a rose. Irwin said he can see it happening.

Dancing With the Stars usually airs in the fall. Premiere dates have not been announced yet for the ABC fall season.
