Robert Irwin Dances to Victory on DWTS

Robert Irwin, at 11 years old, has secured the mirrorball trophy on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, exactly a decade after his sister Bindi's win. Irwin, who is primarily a zookeeper and conservationist, expressed that participating in the competition was a long-held dream. He highlighted that the experience taught him valuable lessons about trust and vulnerability, allowing him to express emotions openly.

Reflecting on his partnership, Irwin described Witney Carson as the perfect professional dancer for him, noting her past connection to his sister's season and the immediate sense of safety and support she provided. He felt he was able to share his core message of wildlife conservation and positivity with a broader audience through the show, making the victory deeply meaningful.

Irwin plans to continue exploring various projects to spread his conservation message, seeing the DWTS experience as proof of diverse avenues for storytelling. He also expressed a strong desire to remain connected to the Dancing With the Stars family, humorously stating he'll be "part of the furniture."
