Robert Irwin has quickly become a major fan favorite on this season’s Dancing With the Stars, and the attention he’s received has been nothing short of overwhelming. The 21-year-old, who is the son of the late ‘Crocodile Hunter’ Steve Irwin, is competing alongside pro dancer Witney Carson.
Carson, who is 31 years old and shares two young children with her husband, Carson McAlister, has recently revealed that some women have even attempted to get in contact with Robert by messaging her. She made light of the situation with a post on her Instagram stories.
"Girls I love ya, thank you for the applications through somehow my email and flooding the dms,” She wrote. “If I could line you all up with Robert I would because you’re all 10/10 perfect cuties. We are currently dancing our lives away so we are unable to respond.”
While Robert certainly has no shortage of potential prospects to choose from, Carson suggested she doesn’t think he should settle down just yet. Rather, she thinks he might make a good candidate for his own dating show.
“Robert for Bachelor?!” she questioned, then jokingly commented on the massive amount of social media messages she’s received regarding her young dance partner, writing, “Idk this is too stressful for me to handle lol.”
As for how Robert feels about all of this fanfare, he seems to be focused on performing at his best on ‘DWTS’ right now. However, he has mentioned that he does hope to find the right partner when the time is right.
“My life is a whirlwind, it’s an adventure,” he said in a recent interview. “I would love to be able to share that with someone and to share those little moments. I have a lot of great role models in the love department and a lot of people I look up to and go, ‘Wow, couples goals.’ So I want to find that.”
