by Ruth A

Published September 4, 2025

Robert Irwin is ready to take his first steps onto the Dancing With the Stars stage, and he’s doing it with a little inspiration from his sister, Bindi Irwin. The 21-year-old son of Terri Irwin and the late Steve Irwin shared a rehearsal video that quickly captured fans’ attention, not only for his enthusiasm but also for Bindi’s presence in the background.

According to Yahoo! Entertainment, in the Instagram clip, Robert showed a framed photo of Bindi celebrating her Season 21 victory with partner Derek Hough, proudly noting, “Setting the bar very high. I’m so proud of you, Bindi.” For many longtime viewers, the moment was a sweet reminder of the Irwin family’s close bond, one that continues to resonate with fans who grew up watching The Crocodile Hunter and its legacy.

During rehearsals, Robert Irwin joked about feeling the pressure of having a “mirrorball champ” sister watching over him. Fans joined in with encouragement, noting how wholesome the siblings’ relationship has always been. One Instagram user wrote, “You and your sister’s love for each other is so wholesome and adorable,” while another teased that Bindi’s daughter Grace might someday continue the family tradition.

Bindi herself also cheered him on, writing, “You. Got. This. Cheering for you always!!” Their mother, Terri, echoed that pride, adding, “So proud of you both!” The support highlighted the family’s ongoing connection, not just through wildlife conservation but now through the ballroom as Robert takes on this new challenge.

In an interview with TV Insider, Robert Irwin revealed the advice Bindi gave him before the competition began. Her biggest tip was simple: “Just be yourself and make it your own.” Robert explained that while he deeply admires what his sister achieved, he is not trying to replicate her success. Instead, he hopes to bring “a bit of that Irwin spirit back into the ballroom.”
