Robert Irwin’s love life continues to be a hot topic since he reached heartthrob status with those Bonds photos and his appearance on Dancing With The Stars, and this week he revealed who his “passenger princess” currently is.
On Wednesday, January 28, the 22-year-old wildlife conservationist shared a video filmed from his vehicle, revealing who was sitting beside him.
“I open up my car door, and I didn’t realise that, uh, there would already be a passenger in here,” Irwin said as he panned the camera toward the surprise occupant – a very large spider.
“Hello, mate,” he added. “A little passenger princess. There she is.”
Irwin then calmly shut the car door, leaving the spider behind.
Fans go wild for Irwin’s “passenger princess”
The clip quickly sparked strong reactions in the comments, with followers split between amusement and pure terror.
“Hey bro, I’m trying to convince my wife to come to Aus. This ain’t helping,” one person said.
“THIS is why I live where the air hurts my face and the cold freezes my snot 6 months out of the year,” another said. “Pretty sure it’s actually a passenger problem,” another joked.
Is Robert Irwin single?
Irwin isn’t publicly dating anyone at the moment, but there were reports he was “getting cosy” with 19-year-old dance troupe member Hailey Bills.
Deuxmoi fuelled talk of a romance after sharing a tip-off from a source who appeared to have witnessed it develop on Dancing With The Stars.
“Everyone’s favourite DWTS bachelor has paused his search for his American dream girl to have some play time beyond the ballroom,” the blind item, submitted with the subject line “Oh crikey!”, read.

“My source tells me he’s been spotted a few times in ****** **** getting cosy with a brunette… the same one he follows around on set.”
“Notice how she’s the only troupe member he follows on Instagram? She’s also been liking some interesting comments on TikTok.”
While the item didn’t name Hailey, internet sleuths quickly noticed that Robert follows the dancer on social media, as well as the pair’s easy chemistry in behind-the-scenes footage from the show.
She is the niece of long-time DWTS pro Jenna Johnson and began her dancing career at six years old, being accomplished at ballroom, ballet, jazz, hip hop and tap.
However, the mole said the duo were “not yet” officially dating.
