The celebrity conservationist, 22, is also set to host the 2026 TV WEEK Logie Awards, which will arguably be one of the biggest moments of his television career.
But while fans are expecting to see his newest ladylove on his arm at the event, insiders tell Daily Mail it will instead be a family affair.
Our sources from Logies HQ claim Robert's entourage will include only his mother Terri and sister Bindi as support on the big night.
'Robert's family has always been his biggest priority,' one television insider says.
'This is a huge career moment for him and the people closest to him have been there every step of the way.'

Another source says Robert and Ashleigh have spent recent months together in Los Angeles, but claims the pair have kept their romance out of the spotlight as Robert's career continues to accelerate.

'Robert's schedule has become incredibly busy and he's entering what could be the biggest chapter of his career.'
Television insiders say Robert has become one of the industry's most in-demand personalities.
Producers are said to be eager to secure him for future projects following his growing success on Australian television.
Hosting the Logies is widely viewed as another major step in that evolution, with many expecting further announcements about Robert's television future in the coming months.
According to sources, Logies organisers have been advised that Terri and Bindi will accompany Robert throughout the evening, although one special guest could still steal the spotlight.

Terri and Bindi have 'concerns' that are 'valid', the source added.
Robert is reportedly keen to integrate Ashleigh into the family business, and 'wants her spending time at Australia Zoo', the source said.
That has raised some eyebrows in his family, who reportedly feel that perhaps the young zoo owner is moving too fast.
Ashleigh is a professional wildlife photographer who specialises in Arctic wildlife and underwater photography.
Like Robert, Ashleigh began her passion for photography at a tender age, picking up the camera at eight.

In 2021, she was named Outstanding Young Nature Photographer by the North American Nature Photography Association.
Aside from her photography prowess, Ashleigh is also an accomplished athlete, serving as Texas Christian University's (TCU) equestrian team captain for the 2024-25 season.
The multi-talented Ashleigh also holds a BA and MA in Literature from TCU.
She also bears more than a passing resemblance to Robert's ex Rorie Buckley.
Rumours about a romance between the pair have been swirling for quite some time.
Back in 2019, Woman's Day reported that Robert, then 15, had grown close with Ashleigh, after the pair met in the US.
The pair also sit on the judging panel for the Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition.
In February this year, the rumour mill went into overdrive when the pair were spotted on a deep sea diving expedition with US television personality Dylan Efron.
One photo showed Robert sitting next to Ashleigh in a boat, decked out in scuba gear.
They looked chuffed to be in each other's company, beaming as they posed for the group happy snap.
