Robert Irwin is rumoured to be romantically involved with an American troupe dancer on Dancing With The Stars US, almost two years after he split with Rorie Buckey.
The celebrity conservationist, 21, who is currently competing on DWTS US with dance partner Witney Carson, is rumoured to be dating a stunning brunette beauty, professional dancer Hailey Bills, 19.
Celebrity gossip account Deux Moi shared an email they received to Instagram on Tuesday, in which they were tipped off about Robert’s budding romance.
‘Everyone’s favourite DWTS bachelor has paused his search for his American dream girl to have some play time beyond the ballroom,’ the email read.
‘My sources tell me he’s been spotted a few times getting cosy with a brunette… The same one he follows around on set. She’s the only troupe member he follows on Instagram.’
The person in question has been revealed to be US woman Hailey Bills, who has been dancing since 2012, specialising in ballroom, ballet and hip hop.

Although Robert and Hailey have remained tight-lipped on the romance rumours, on Tuesday he shared a clip to social media in which he was seen perform an energetic street dance alongside her.
Robert could not wipe the smile off his face as he got his body moving alongside Hailey, with the pair demonstrating clear chemistry both on and off the dancefloor.
‘Honorary troupe member,’ Robert wrote next to the clip.
In November last year, Robert revealed he is still looking for love after his split with long time sweetheart Rorie Buckley in February 2024.
He appeared on Nine’s Today show and confessed there was ‘no one special’ in his life at that time.
After being dubbed one of Australia’s ‘most eligible bachelors’ during the segment a bashful Robert revealed that dating for him was not easy.
‘That’s an interesting world to navigate as well with [being in] the public eye and that sort of thing,’ he said.
Admitting that he was not seeing anyone at present, Robert was asked about what he was ‘looking for’ in a partner.

‘I’m one of those people who is kind of gonna let it happen, I’m gonna let that unfold as it will.
‘I look at my parents as inspiration and I look at my sister [Bindi Irwin who found a husband], Chandler.’
He then added: ‘I know there’s someone out there, but they are going to have to be a goer, they are going to be in this lifestyle, it’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere but I would definitely want to share this wonderful life with someone special.’
Robert and his ex Rorie, 20, were believed to have been dating since November 2022, but went Instagram official almost a year later in August 2023.
Rorie reportedly completed an Irwin-approved ‘wildlife warrior boot camp’ before she and Robert became an official couple.
In December 2023, Woman’s Day claimed Rorie had to win over the family by having a willingness to get out into nature.
The couple went on crocodile research trip together where they uncovered ‘critical data’ for the Wildlife Warriors’ Worldwide foundation.
Robert’s mother Terri – who shares her kids with her late husband Steve – and sister Bindi, 26, had been impressed by Rorie’s dedication to Australian wildlife.
The pair were in a long-distance relationship, as Robert is based at Australia Zoo in Queensland while Rorie lives in Perth.
