Robert Irwin won over “Dancing with the Stars” audiences when he competed on and won Season 34. He proved not only he is a naturally talented dancer, but also that he works hard and is passionate about what he sets out to do.
Irwin has endeared himself to millions of fans, and his charming, warm personality has led women to flood him with dating propositions. He is the complete package, and he is single! So, could another reality TV show be in Irwin’s future?
Robert Irwin’s ‘The Bachelor’ Future
Many fans would love to see Irwin become the next “The Bachelor” lead, and considering how sweet and genuine he is, it could be a great platform to put himself out there and find someone who makes him happy. Irwin has not given a definitive answer about whether he would ever do the show, but his “I’m a Celebrity” co-host, Julia Morris, has weighed in on the reports and shared her thoughts on why this would not be a good fit for him.
“I don’t believe that he shares his personal life in that way,” she told the “Confessions of a Reality Star” podcast on November 30, Yahoo! Lifestyle Reports. “If you live such a public existence… [and] having to share your lifetime grief with pretty much every person that you cross paths with… I think romance surely is something that needs to be behind closed doors. I would be so shocked to my very foundations if I ever saw that happen.”
Robert Irwin’s Dating Life
Morris makes a good point, and Irwin is a private person who has dodged questions about a possible romance with actress and former DWTS Mirrorball champion Xochitl Gomez. The rumors started after she danced the jive with Irwin as part of his Relay Race challenge.
He is also clever about the way he answers questions, always leaving a possibility of hope or making sure he can revisit the question at a later stage. For example, while competing on DWTS, he was asked by E! News whether he would ever go on “The Bachelor,” and while his professional dance partner Witney Carson was quick to shut down that thought, Irwin replied, “All I can say is watch this space. Stranger things have happened.”
Whether Irwin signs up to “The Bachelor” or not, he is not going to be resting and disappearing from the limelight. He already has a lot of things planned for the future. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on December 1, he spoke about what’s next for him and how he wants to take on as many projects as possible to continue to spread his message “of wildlife conservation, of passion and positivity.”
“I kind of always saw this sort of one lane in one direction that I would travel in to spread that message,” he said. “But now doing this show, a complete deviation from what I usually do, I’ve realized there are so many different avenues to connect with people and to tell stories, and I really think that’s what I’m here to do, you know? I want to find as many different mediums to do that, whether that’s through TV or movies or whatever that ends up being. I definitely want to take on bigger and better projects.”
