Robert Irwin Joins Dancing With Stars To Honor Late Father Steve Irwin

Robert Irwin is set to compete on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars, where he hopes to honor the legacy of his late father, Steve Irwin. Though uncertain how his father would have reacted to his participation, Robert aims to embody Steve's message of living life to the fullest and hopes to make him proud through his performance. Robert will be partnered with professional dancer Witney Carson, and his sister Bindi Irwin, who won the show in 2015, has temporarily moved to Los Angeles with her family to support him. The Irwin family continues to carry on Steve’s wildlife conservation mission, with Robert actively involved alongside Bindi at the Australia Zoo. Robert expressed that his father valued being remembered not for fame but for the message he stood for, an ideal Robert strives to uphold during the competition. The Irwins' commitment to preserving Steve’s spirit and passion for life is a central motivation for Robert as he embarks on this new challenge.
