This move marks a new chapter for Robert, known for his wildlife conservation work. It also follows his appearance at the 2024 TV Week Logie Awards, where he stole attention with his playful moments with co-host Julia Morris. While Robert did not win any awards, his chemistry with Julia was widely praised.

Robert’s personal life has also been in the spotlight, following his breakup with Rorie Buckley earlier in 2024. Meanwhile, his mother, Terri Irwin, continues to deflect rumors about her dating life, focusing instead on her conservation efforts and the legacy of her late husband, Steve.
