Robert Irwin’s Dancing With the Stars journey has become one of the most emotional storylines of Season 34 — and it’s not just fans who are feeling it. His sister, Bindi Irwin, has joined the chorus of love and support, leaving a comment that sent social media into a frenzy: “Beyond proud of you!!!” 💛
The 21-year-old wildlife conservationist has been a fan favorite since week one, charming audiences with his sincerity, natural talent, and infectious joy. But this week, he took things to a whole new level — sharing a heartfelt video that mixed behind-the-scenes DWTS moments with adorable clips from his childhood at the Australia Zoo. The result? A wave of emotion that had fans — and even fellow contestants — wiping away tears.
In the video, Robert reflected on his journey from being the little boy holding crocodiles beside his father, Steve Irwin, to now performing live in front of millions. “Every dance feels like I’m living my dream,” he said softly. “I just hope I’m making my family proud.” It was a sentiment that resonated deeply with viewers who have watched him grow up in the public eye.
Bindi’s touching message under the post was the emotional highlight of the night. Her comment — “Beyond proud of you!!!” — instantly went viral, reminding fans of the unbreakable bond between the Irwin siblings. Many still remember Bindi’s own DWTS victory in 2015, where she danced through tears in memory of their late father. Now, a decade later, the roles are beautifully reversed.
Fans quickly filled the comments with love and nostalgia. “From cheering for Bindi to now cheering for Robert — the Irwins never fail to make us cry,” one user wrote. Another added, “This family radiates nothing but heart. First Bindi with her angelic grace, now Robert with his courage and soul.”
Robert’s current partner, Witney Carson, also chimed in with support, writing, “He gives everything to every performance — so proud of him!” The chemistry between the two has been one of the show’s most talked-about elements, and this emotional moment only deepened fans’ connection to their story.

Even the DWTS judges have taken notice of Robert’s growth. Derek Hough praised his authenticity, saying, “You don’t just dance — you feel every moment.” Carrie Ann Inaba added that his performances “carry the kind of emotional truth that can’t be taught.”
For many viewers, this journey feels bigger than just dancing — it’s about legacy. It’s about the young boy who once stood beside his dad on The Crocodile Hunter now stepping into his own light, honoring that legacy through art, courage, and love.
As Robert continues to dazzle week after week, one thing is certain: he’s not just dancing for scores — he’s dancing for his family, his father’s spirit, and the millions who believe in him. And judging by the reactions, both fans and Bindi agree — this is only the beginning of something truly special.
