Robert Irwin arrived at the 2025 AFI FEST with a special date.<\/p>\n
The Dancing With the Stars contestant caught everyone\u2019s attention not just with his sharp style but with his rare red carpet appearance beside his mom, Terri Irwin.<\/p>\n
Showing their support for their good friend Russell Crowe during the premiere of his new film Nuremberg, the mother and son looked spectacular with their effortless charm and coordinated style.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old had a little fashion moment in his navy blue suit and white button-down shirt.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, his mom was all smiles as they posed for the camera. The wife of the late Steve Irwin exuded girl boss energy in a chic, matching brown plaid suit.<\/p>\n
As mentioned, this was a rare occasion that the DWTS star was joined by his mother on the red carpet. The last time was back in May 2024 for the Steve Irwin Gala, an event supporting the Wildlife Warriors conservation organization.<\/p>\n
They were joined by his older sister, Bindi Irwin, completing the family appearance.<\/p>\n
Later that month, the Irwins stepped out once again for the 12th Annual Endometriosis Foundation of America Blossom Ball held in honor of Bindi\u2019s inspiring work and advocacy<\/a> for women living with endometriosis.<\/p>\n Before his red carpet appearance with his mom, the wildlife photographer touched fans with a moving throwback tribute to his father.<\/p>\n In an Instagram update, he posted a video featuring an interview with the legendary Australian wildlife conservationist as he discussed his dreams for his family and his passion.<\/p>\n \u201cIs there anything in this world that would wanna make me give away what I\u2019m doing now? Yes, there is,\u201d Steve Irwin said in the clip. \u201cWhen my children can take the football that I call wildlife conservation and run it up. When they\u2019re ready to run up our mission, I will gladly step aside. I guarantee you it\u2019ll be the proudest moment of my life, and my job will be done.\u201d<\/p>\n With this, Robert Irwin reflected on his promise to carry on his father\u2019s legacy and passion for protecting wildlife.<\/p>\n \u201cTo continue this legacy is the honour of my life. If I can make my dad proud, I\u2019ve done my job. Behind everything I do is a conservation mission that my dad started,\u201d he captioned the post.<\/p>\n That stirred emotional responses from fans who shared touching messages about how proud his father would be of him.<\/p>\n \u201cJesus Christ, Robert! Can you give us one day to not cry?!?!?\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cCrying for real. Wow. Absolutely tender and precious. An amazing man! You are carrying it on Robert!\u201d a commenter added.<\/p>\n \u201cYour dad has been so proud of you since the day you were born. You are his legacy,\u201d a follower said.<\/p>\n Steve Irwin died of cardiac arrest in 2006 after being fatally injured when a stingray\u2019s barb pierced his chest, causing severe trauma to his heart.<\/p>\n Related: \u2018DWTS\u2019 Star Robert Irwin Sparks Patrick Swayze Comparisons<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 25, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
