Bindi Irwin’s Huge Reaction To Robert Joining ‘DWTS’
Bindi Irwin had a huge reaction to learning that her brother, Robert Irwin, was the first DWTS Season 34 contestant. His big sister had previously won Season 21 a decade ago, so this was huge news. So, what was Bindi’s reaction to this news? Keep reading for further details.
Bindi Irwin’s Huge Reaction To Robert Joining DWTS
In Season 21 of DWTS, Bindi Irwin was teamed up with Derek Hough. At the time, he was one of the most coveted pro dancers, and everyone wanted to shake it with him. When all was said and done, Bindi walked away the winner, and it was a beautiful moment for her and her family. Recently, her younger brother, Robert Irwin, took it all off for a promo. Fans could not believe how grown he was, but Robert is not a little boy anymore. He is a twenty-one-year-old man and ready for whatever comes his way.
On Tuesday, April 22nd, he was announced as the first celebrity dancer for Season 34. Even though the show does not return until the fall of 2025, this is the time when the stars begin to be announced. It’s always exciting, but what did Bindi have to say about her brother following in her footsteps? She was overwhelmingly supportive:
“DANCING WITH THE STARS SEASON 34 – LET’S GOOOO! Robert, you are going to absolutely shine in the ballroom. I wish I could express the magnitude of how proud I am of you and everything you have achieved.”
Bindi is clearly a very proud big sister and ready to return to the ballroom, just in a different capacity. She was a teenager when she took on the dance floor, and a lot has changed in her life. In 2020, she tied the knot with Chandler Powell, and a year later, they had a little girl, Grace.

Two years later, Bindi explained that she had been suffering from endometriosis for over a decade. This was very painful, but she has done her best to work through it. Now, she is happy, living her best life, and ready for Robert to rock DWTS.
A Season Behind?
In 2024, rumors had flown that Robert Irwin was joining DWTS. However, that did not happen, but he was still on the production’s mind as he is now dancing this season. It has not been revealed who he will be partnered with, but fans and followers were thrilled with this news:
- Loving this new era of Robert! (Not that we didn’t adore him before, but it’s fun to see him explore outside of his comfort zone!) Beware of cougars 😂
- I’m so glad. Finally!! Thanks for sharing him with us. ❤️ How about Chandler next?
- Woohoo. I love the Irwin’s and this right after his bonds ad! This guy is on 🔥🔥🔥
Bindi’s former partner and current DWTS judge, Derek Hough, was elated for Robert:
- Another Irwin in the arena ❤️❤️ love you Bindles
Some have suspected that Rylee Arnold will be Robert’s partner, which would be incredible. That is usually revealed weeks before the show begins airing on GMA.
