Robert Irwin is playing the field, according to a new report.
The 21-year-old is making the most of his newfound Hollywood fame amid his headline-making run on Dancing With the Stars US.
While the Wildlife Warrior is rumoured to be dating American professional dancer Hailey Bills, 19, he’s been spotted on a date with another American starlet, according to a new report.
Celebrity gossip account Deux Moi has claimed that Robert was recently seen on what appeared to be a date with actress Xochitl Gomez, 19, at upmarket Los Angeles grocery store Erewhon.
Xochitl and Robert danced together for the 20th anniversary of Dancing With the Stars US last week – and viewers could not help but notice their ‘chemistry’ on screen as they delivered an impressive Jive.
The Baby-Sitters Club star, who won Season 32 of the show in 2023, was a special guest on the episode, standing in for Robert’s usual dance partner, Witney Carson.

And New Idea magazine this week claimed that Robert is looking for ‘Miss right now’ and not ‘Miss right’ – and is too busy ‘playing’ to find the one.
Robert is, ‘in no rush to settle down’ and is keeping his options open, the magazine alleges.
It comes after Deux Moi shared an email they received on Instagram, in which they were tipped off about Robert’s budding romance with Hailey.
‘Everyone’s favourite DWTS bachelor has paused his search for his American dream girl to have some play time beyond the ballroom,’ the email read.
‘My sources tell me he’s been spotted a few times getting cosy with a brunette… The same one he follows around on set. She’s the only troupe member he follows on Instagram.’
The person in question was later revealed to be Hailey, who has been dancing since 2012, specialising in ballroom, ballet and hip hop.
Although Robert and Hailey have remained tight-lipped on the romance rumours, he recently posted a clip on social media in which he was seen performing an energetic street dance alongside her.
Robert could not wipe the smile off his face as he got his body moving alongside Hailey, with the pair demonstrating clear chemistry both on and off the dancefloor.

‘Honorary troupe member,’ Robert wrote next to the clip.
In November last year, Robert revealed he is still looking for love after his split with long-time sweetheart Rorie Buckey in February 2024.
He appeared on Nine’s Today show and confessed there was ‘no one special’ in his life at that time.
After being dubbed one of Australia’s ‘most eligible bachelors’ during the segment, a bashful Robert said that dating for him was not easy.
‘That’s an interesting world to navigate as well with [being in] the public eye and that sort of thing,’ he said.
Admitting that he was not seeing anyone at present, Robert was asked about what he was ‘looking for’ in a partner.
‘I’m one of those people who is kind of gonna let it happen, I’m gonna let that unfold as it will.
‘I look at my parents as inspiration and I look at my sister [Bindi Irwin who found a husband], Chandler.’

He then added: ‘I know there’s someone out there, but they are going to have to be a goer, they are going to be in this lifestyle, it’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere, but I would definitely want to share this wonderful life with someone special.’
Robert and his ex Rorie, 20, were believed to have been dating since November 2022, but went Instagram official almost a year later in August 2023.
Rorie reportedly completed an Irwin-approved ‘wildlife warrior boot camp’ before she and Robert became an official couple.
In December 2023, Woman’s Day claimed Rorie had to win over the family by having a willingness to get out into nature.
The couple went on a crocodile research trip together where they uncovered ‘critical data’ for the Wildlife Warriors’ Worldwide foundation.
Robert’s mother Terri – who shares her kids with her late husband Steve – and sister Bindi, 26, had been impressed by Rorie’s dedication to Australian wildlife.
The pair were in a long-distance relationship, as Robert is based at Australia Zoo in Queensland while Rorie lives in Perth.
