Robert Irwin has officially added a new chapter to the Irwin family legacy, emerging as the winner of the Dancing with the Stars Mirrorball Trophy. Ten years after his sister Bindi’s unforgettable triumph, the 21-year-old wildlife conservationist and his pro partner Witney Carson claimed the season 34 crown during the electrifying finale on November 25. Their final performances — a lively Quickstep to “Are You Gonna Be My Girl,” a dynamic Freestyle to “Black & Gold” and “The Nights,” and a Cha Cha during the Instant Dance round — sealed their place at the top.
The victory didn’t come easy. Robert pushed through intense rehearsals despite painful rib issues, determined to give everything he had to each performance. Witney, who praised his commitment throughout the season, called dancing with him “the biggest gift,” while Robert celebrated the moment with heartfelt gratitude, echoing his sister Bindi’s famous words: “Thank you for changing my life.” Their win put them ahead of finalists Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix and Dylan Efron in a finale packed with emotion and unforgettable routines.
In true Irwin fashion, Robert carried his late father Steve Irwin’s spirit with him every step of the way. He revealed that he kept two good-luck charms throughout the season: a ring made from keys to his childhood home and one of his dad’s shirts. With the world cheering him on, the question now is — what incredible milestone will Robert Irwin conquer next? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
