Robert Irwin joins Dancing With the Stars Season 34 cast

Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old son of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin and a noted conservationist and TV personality, has been announced as the first celebrity contestant for season 34 of Dancing With the Stars USA. He follows in the footsteps of his sister Bindi Irwin, who won season 21 of the show in 2015. Robert is known for his work as co-host of Australia's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, his appearances on Crikey! It's the Irwins, and his efforts at the Australia Zoo. The announcement was made at a Hulu event in Los Angeles, and while his professional dance partner and additional contestants have yet to be revealed, there is speculation he may be paired with TikTok star Rylee Arnold. The new season is expected to air in the fall on ABC and Disney+. Robert's participation continues his family's legacy of engaging American audiences through entertainment and wildlife advocacy.
