Robert Irwin Triumphs on Dancing With the Stars as Sister Bindi Celebrates His Victory
Robert Irwin has officially joined his sister Bindi in the Dancing With the Stars hall of fame. In the season 34 finale, Robert and his partner Witney Carson were crowned champions, marking a milestone moment for the Irwin family and sparking heartfelt celebrations across Australia Zoo.
A Family of Champions
Ten years after Bindi Irwin won her own mirrorball trophy alongside Derek Hough, she proudly watched her younger brother achieve the same feat. Sharing her joy on Instagram, Bindi wrote: “I love you so much. Words can’t describe how proud I am of you. You EARNED this.” She also posted a jubilant message declaring: “TWO MIRRORBALLS NOW CALL AUSTRALIA ZOO HOME!!!!”
Her husband Chandler Powell captured the family’s reaction in a sweet video: Bindi covered her face in disbelief, Terri Irwin jumped for joy, and Chandler clapped with a huge smile.
A Night to Remember
Robert and Witney faced stiff competition from finalists including Alix Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy, Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten, Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa, and Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach. Alix and Val earned a perfect score of 90 across their three dances, while Robert and Witney followed closely with 89 points. Despite the razor-thin margin, the duo secured victory thanks to record-breaking audience votes—the closest in the show’s history.
For Witney Carson, this was her second mirrorball win, coming 11 years after her first alongside Alfonso Ribeiro. Reflecting on the journey, she shared: “Every high, every low, every tough loss, every season that stretched and refined me, it all led me here. Getting to share this win with someone like Robert means more than I could ever express.”
Robert’s Dream Come True
Robert himself summed up the moment with a simple but powerful statement: “Dreams do come true.” His joy, resilience, and light throughout the season resonated deeply with fans, making his victory not just a personal achievement but a celebration of the Irwin family’s enduring spirit.
Conclusion
The Irwins have now secured two mirrorball trophies, a testament to their talent, dedication, and ability to inspire audiences worldwide. With Robert’s win, the family legacy continues to shine brightly—both on the dance floor and at Australia Zoo.
