Will Robert Irwin follow sister Bindi's love story? Steve Irwin's son gets asked for his number at zoo
Robert Irwin was recently approached by an American tourist at the Australia Zoo on June 14, Tuesday. However, proving the gentleman he is, he did not shoo away his fan and handled the situation rather perfectly. The situation is quite similar to how his sister Bindi Irwin met her love and now husband Chandler Powell at the zoo itself.
An American tourist, Megan Grass, said, "I was wondering if I can have your number," to which Robert replied, "Well, I'm very flattered," He then responded before redirecting her to his social media messages. Without causing a scene, the late Steve Irwin's son gently turned down the woman in the now-viral TikTok video. "I'll tell you what the easiest way [to contact me] is on Instagram because then my people can monitor it and see when it comes through because my number is getting mixed." However, Grass wasn't going to be turned down so easily. She replied, "Well, I actually DM'd you last night to tell you I was coming here today," to which Terry Irwin's son responded with an "Oh no" and said that he would look for it after knowing her name.

The caption, to Grass's video which once again seems like a desperate attempt to get Robert's attention, read "Tiktok do your thing @Robert Irwin #fyp#australiazoo #crikey" However, people were quick to tell the poster that Robert couldn't turn you down more gently as one user commented, "He's trying to turn you down so politely. Just let it go." Another user wrote, "I don’t think he is saying no. he probably has so many people try to have access to him that he has precautions with his safety. he is so sweet." The video now has more than 2.4 million views. Grass, hailing from Utah, recently sat down with 'The Today Show' and explained that she hasn't been on a date with the zookeeper, yet.
"Nothing much has happened other than it is blowing up on TikTok," she said. When hosts asked her about her bold pick attempt to hit on Robert, she replied: "I think he is literally the sweetest person ever. He is a great guy. I would be down to just be Robert's friend."
Will Robert find love in the zoo just like his sister Bindi did?
While Robert may not have replied to his fan. Surprisingly, late Steve Irwin's daughter Bindi found love in a somewhat similar manner. Chandler Powell, a Florida native, first laid eyes on Bindi during a 2013 trip to the animal sanctuary in Beerwah, Queensland. He was 22 at the time and a professional wakeboarder at the time. In a conversation with People, Powell said, "It just so happened that Bindi was giving tours that day. I’m like, ‘Wow she is amazing." The duo hit off quite well there and hasn't looked back since.
Bindi was 20 at the time she first met Powell. Now 23, is happily married to Powell and they even have a daughter, Grace Warrior.
As for Robert, the guy is merely 18 years old and is currently not dating anyone. However, his fans can't stop swooning simply because of his love for animals. Recently, Robert announced Australia zoo's first-ever collectibles NFT series. "I never thought we would be at the forefront of NFTs but here we are, it’s an exciting time. I’m so passionate about wildlife conservation, so any way we can support that we welcome with open arms," said Robert while talking to Sunrise.
Coming to whether he is dating someone or not, that question remains to be answered. The dapper young man has been linked to two women in the past, however, no reports have had any confirmation regarding their hookups and nor has the family commented on Robert's love life. Robert has been tied to two young women: Elisha Jackson (a fan girl who has allegedly been spending time with Robert and the Irwin family), and Emmy Perry (an animal rights activist and actress). It's really unclear if he actually dated either (or both).
