Robert Irwin is turning heads — and hearts — with his latest transformation.
The 21-year-old wildlife conservationist and TV personality sent social media into overdrive after debuting a striking new photo shoot with Stellar magazine. Dressed in a classic white t-shirt and jeans, Robert showcased a confident, mature side that had fans doing a double take — many comparing him to none other than Prince Harry.
“It’s giving Prince Harry vibes and I’m HERE for it,” one fan gushed on Instagram.
“I thought it was a young Prince Harry,” added another, echoing the sentiment of many.
With sculpted arms, a commanding gaze, and effortless charm, Robert’s evolution from wildlife warrior to modern heartthrob has become a major talking point — and not just for his looks.
📸 The Photo Shoot Everyone’s Talking About
In the featured Stellar spread, Robert flaunts his natural charisma in a series of stylish outfits. Whether in a relaxed white tee or a sultry brown shirt with the top buttons undone, he exudes a new level of self-assurance — far from the little boy many remember growing up at Australia Zoo.
It’s a powerful reintroduction to the public eye — one that blends heritage, maturity, and emotional depth.
💬 Opening Up: Life, Love, and Loss
Alongside the captivating visuals, Robert offered rare insight into his personal life during the accompanying interview — touching on love, legacy, and life without his father, the late Steve Irwin.
“My mum and dad were just this incredible power couple,” he shared. “And then I look at Bindi and Chandler, and it’s like they’re literally the same person. They’re made for each other. I mean, if that isn’t your couple’s goals, what would be?”
Robert admitted he hopes to find that kind of deep connection someday — but he’s not rushing it.
“I really want to find the perfect person, but I’m not in any rush. I’m very open to it. The thing that I’ve come to discover in that space is you’ve just got to let it happen.”
💔 Reflecting on Steve Irwin’s Absence
Touching on more emotional ground, Robert also spoke about growing up without his father, who passed away in 2006 when Robert was just two years old. Now, milestones like his 21st birthday bring both pride and a poignant sense of loss.
“It can be heartbreaking,” he said. “It’s really hard, particularly when it’s those milestones. It’s difficult navigating that without a father figure.”
Still, Robert credits his mother Terri Irwin and the rest of his family for creating a loving, supportive environment that helped fill the gap left by Steve’s passing.
“While there will always be part of myself missing and I’ll never be complete – I never felt like I missed out on anything.”
💔 Past Relationships and Moving Forward
Robert also reflected on his past relationship with ex-girlfriend Rorie Buckey, whom he dated from late 2022 until early 2025. The couple went public in August 2023 and were last seen together in January before quietly parting ways the following month.
Their relationship made headlines after red carpet appearances and shared travels — but Robert seems focused now on the future, both personally and professionally.
🌟 A New Era for Robert Irwin
Whether he’s wrangling crocodiles or capturing hearts in a camera lens, Robert Irwin is stepping into a new chapter — one that blends his family legacy with his own unique path.
With a growing presence in the public eye, a smouldering new look, and a message of vulnerability and self-discovery, Robert’s evolution is resonating with fans around the world.
He’s no longer just “Steve Irwin’s son.” He’s Robert — conservationist, storyteller, and now, a quietly rising star.
