The Irwin Family’s Legacy Continues

What a moment! Robert Irwin has won the glittering Mirrorball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars Season 34.

What’s even more special is that exactly 10 years ago, his older sister, Bindi, also won the same competition.

In Tuesday night’s finale, 21-year-old wildlife conservationist Robert and his pro partner, Witney Carson, were declared champions.

He defeated strong finalists like Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, and Dylan Efron to win. Robert truly proved that talent runs in his blood.

Robert’s Dazzling Performance in the Finale

The competition was tough in the final round, but Robert and Witney set the stage on fire.

For the Judges’ Choice round, they performed an energetic Quickstep to Jet’s song “Are You Gonna Be My Girl.”

But the real magic happened when they performed their Freestyle act. Their moves to “The Nights” (Avicii) and “Black & Gold” left both the judges and the audience stunned.

Additionally, his Cha Cha to “Cake by the Ocean” in the Instant Dance round was flawless, earning him numerous praises.

Memories of Steve Irwin and That Special Shirt

Throughout this season, Robert carried memories of his late father, Steve Irwin, with him. He shared on social media that he wore one of his father’s old shirts to every rehearsal.

Even though the shirt had holes in it and was worn out, it was like a “big hug” to Robert. He said that wearing his father’s shirt made him feel closer to home.

Witney also revealed that Robert had a lot of pain in his ribs before the finale, but like his father, he gave “100% effort” and refused to quit.

Robert Gets Emotional After Win

Robert was quite emotional after winning. Holding the trophy, he said, “My sister was right: Thank you for changing my life!” For him, this journey wasn’t just about dancing, but about proving himself.

Witney Carson also said that partnering with Robert was the “biggest gift” of this season.

It’s a proud moment for the Irwin family, and fans are delighted that Robert has carried on the legacy of his father and sister in such a wonderful way.
