It seems that Robert Irwin is letting his Dancing with the Stars partner, Witney Carson, take on a very different kind of role off the dance floor.
The 21-year-old conservationist revealed that Witney has been helping him navigate the world of dating in the U.S., joking that she’s “screening” potential American girlfriends for him.
Robert, who has been making waves on Season 34 of the show with his impressive performances, said the arrangement has been a mix of fun and practicality.
“She’s making sure I don’t get into any trouble,” he laughed, adding that his sister Bindi Irwin has also been helping him weigh his options.
While his focus remains on dancing, Robert admitted that he’s keeping an open mind about love and relationships, appreciating the support system around him. Fans have been charmed by his playful approach, as well as the evident camaraderie between Robert and Witney.
With his natural charm and family values, Robert seems to have both his dance career and love life in good hands—at least with a little help from his partner and sister!
