Robert Irwin's 'DWTS' Win Sparks Romance Rumors with Xochitl Gomez After Private Meetup.
Actress Xochitl Gomez expressed her immense pride for Robert Irwin, 21, after his "Dancing With the Stars" (DWTS) win. The 19-year-old "Raven's Home" alum recorded a video of Irwin and his pro partner Witney Carson, 32, emotionally hugging onstage during their victory announcement.
Gomez captioned the video with an excited message: “I am so incredibly proud of you two!” alongside a heart emoji. She also posted: “What a season!”
Gomez had previously shared the number fans could text to vote for Irwin and had done the same for fellow competitors Alix Earle and Jordan Chiles. The actress was spotted having a private meetup with Irwin on the DWTS lot hours before his win, leaving some fans speculating about their relationship.
The photos from the private meeting revealed Gomez bringing Irwin a bouquet ahead of his win and the two laughing and chatting together. Gomez seemed incredibly proud of Irwin's win, describing it as “incredibly” fun for both her and Witney.
Irwin himself shared that dating in the public eye is "challenging to navigate." In an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, he explained: “Anything you do will be on TikTok the next day."
Gomez was crowned Season 32 champion of DWTS, while Irwin and Carson took home the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.
This comes after dating rumors swirled between the two after they danced together during the show's 20th anniversary celebration. While neither Gomez nor Irwin have commented on their relationship, sources say that they've been enjoying each other's company backstage.

i mean he wasnt my fave to begin with but shes got skills lol 
anyway i think its kinda cute that xochitl gomez is being super supportive of him after their private meetup together 
i wonder if theyll make it as a couple tho, dating in the public eye can be ruff 
especially with tiktok keeping them on the spotlight 24/7 
anyway cant wait to see what happens next between these two 
what do u think about robert dating again after being single for so long? should we be rooting for him and xochitl to make this relationship work? 
. As someone who's into wellness and mindfulness, I think it's beautiful to see people finding love and connection in their passions 
. Plus, a private meetup with a bouquet is so romantic 
! It's no wonder fans are speculating about their relationship 
... maybe we'll get a confirmation soon? Fingers crossed for these two lovely souls 
I don't buy it. Robert was 21 when he started dating Witney, now he's 21 + 1 year = 22...and Xochitl is almost 20 
. What's the rush? And what about his mom Terri Irwin's feelings on this new "relationship"? Has she been MIA all these times? 
, she's definitely got a soft spot for him 
They're giving me major #couplegoals vibes 
. Irwin might've said dating in the public eye is tough 
. I mean, think about it, Robert Irwin and Xochitl Gomez are total strangers, right? And then she suddenly has a private meetup with him on the lot, bringing him flowers... what's up with that?!

! I was so rooting for him from the start, and it's amazing to see how far he's come 
! But now, there are rumors that Xochitl Gomez might be interested in him too
