Robert Irwin leaves his mother ‘fuming' after he's spotted on night out with mystery woman in Las Vegas
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Robert Irwin has been spotted with a young woman in Las Vegas as he enjoyed an evening out. Ahead of his debut on the US version of Dancing with the Stars in a few weeks, Robert travelled to Vegas with his mum, Terri, and sister, Bindi, for the annual Steve Irwin Gala on May 10. Rob was spotted ditching his family later in the evening to go for dinner with a mystery blonde woman. Photos emerged of the pair walking closely together down the Vegas strip before they sat next to each other in the corner of a small ramen restaurant. A source close to the family told Daily Mail Australia that Robert's decision to be seen with the woman may have left his mother disappointed. 'Terri doesn't care who the girl is. She just thinks the whole thing looks really bad, especially with Robert about to appear on the US version of Dancing with the Stars,' the insider said. 'While the cat's away, the mice will play. 'Robert doesn't usually get much downtime, so he let his hair down but Terri was expecting him to keep things low-key, not hit the strip with a blonde on his arm.' Rob was left to fend for himself in the US when Terri rushed to hospital to be with her daughter after Bindi had to go in for emergency surgery. 'They're in full damage control,' added the insider who said Terri is 'fuming' with her son over his latest antics. 'The line from the Irwins is 'there's nothing to see here'. But behind closed doors, Terri is fuming,' they said. Irwin's love life has been somewhat scattered in recent months. He was first linked with Australian Zoo worker Charlotte Briggs last July when they arrived in Sydney together. Reports later emerged claiming the pair had made things official behind closes doors in November. However, it emerged in February that Irwin and Briggs called it quits shortly before they made the step to go public. The pictures of Irwin with a mystery new woman come after his sister, Bindi, was rushed into surgery for a ruptured appendix. Bindi addressed her concerned fans directly, in a video filmed from her hospital bed shortly after she underwent surgery. 'Hey guys, Bindi here. I just wanted to thank you so much for your incredible well wishes. I just got out of surgery about an hour ago,' the mum-of-one groggily announced, before revealing just how serious the surgery had been. 'I had my appendix removed. I also had 14 new endometriosis lesions that had to be removed and they kindly stitched up my hernia as well.'

Robert Irwin, son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, named as first celebrity for Dancing With The Stars 2025
Robert Irwin is "over the moon" that his "dream" of being on Dancing With The Stars has become a "reality". The 21-year-old conservationist has said it is an "honour" and a "privilege" to have been asked to take part in the 34th season of the hit reality show because seeing his sister Bindi – who won the competition in 2015 – dance with her pro partner Derek Hough in the ballroom at age 11 made him want to do it. Asked by Hough – who now serves as a judge on the show – how he feels to be taking part, Irwin said: "I cannot tell you what an honour, what a privilege it is to be joining this season. "I remember being a little 11-year-old – little 11-year-old Robert about this big with a little bowl cut, you remember that! And watching you and Bindi just having the most incredible time, lighting up the dance floor, I just thought, 'One day that's going to be me.' "I had these little dreams going, 'One day!' And now that dream is a reality, and I am over the moon, let's do this!" The son of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin is the first celebrity to be confirmed as a cast member on the 2025 show, with the rest being announced at a later date. Although no premiere date has been confirmed for season 34, Dancing With The Stars normally starts airing in mid-September. It is not the first time Robert Irwin will be dabbling in reality TV as he has already had his fair share of the genre in the past, including starring in the Irwins' Australian Zoo documentary series, Crikey! It's The Irwins from 2018 until 2022, and more recently, co-hosting the 2024 series of the Australian version of I'm A Me Out Of Here!' with Julia Morris.
