Los Angeles, CA — Dancing With the Stars fans can’t stop buzzing about Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old wildlife conservationist whose charm and high-energy performances have made him one of the most talked-about contestants this season. Beyond his near-perfect scores, viewers are now asking a bigger question: Who is Robert Irwin dating?
Romance Rumors With Xochitl Gomez
The speculation began after Irwin shared the DWTS stage with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomez, 19, during the show’s 20th anniversary celebration. The duo performed a lively jive that immediately caught fans’ attention — and fueled whispers of an off-screen connection.
When asked by TMZ about their dance together, Irwin played it cool.
“Oh my gosh, we had the best time. That dance was so fun,” he said, adding that it was “really great” working with Gomez and that she’s “the best.”
Just days later, on November 16, celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi claimed the two were spotted together after rehearsals, allegedly enjoying a casual outing at Erewhon. Neither Irwin nor Gomez has confirmed the rumored date, leaving fans guessing whether their chemistry was just for the cameras — or something more.
The Hailey Bills Speculation
While many fans are rooting for a possible Irwin–Gomez connection, others think he might actually be linked to Hailey Bills, a DWTS troupe dancer. Irwin and Bills have been appearing together on social media, including a playful dance video he shared on Instagram Stories in late October.
According to the Daily Mail, another DeuxMoi tip suggested that Irwin has been getting “cozy” with a brunette troupe member — and notably, Hailey Bills is the only troupe dancer he follows on Instagram.
The anonymous source described the rumored romance as “playful” and hinted that Irwin had “paused his search for his American dream girl” to spend more time with someone behind the scenes.
Still, neither Irwin nor Bills has publicly addressed the speculation, and many fans believe their relationship is simply friendly.
Keeping the Spotlight on the Dance Floor
Irwin, the son of late conservation icon Steve Irwin, has been a standout on Dancing With the Stars Season 34, praised for his personality and grace under pressure. While romance rumors swirl, he’s remained focused on his performances and his heartfelt tributes — including one dance honoring his late father that moved both judges and viewers.
As the DWTS finale approaches, Irwin’s dance floor chemistry continues to spark fan theories, but until he confirms otherwise, the nature of his relationships with both Xochitl Gomez and Hailey Bills remains strictly speculation.
