Robert Irwin may be dazzling audiences on Dancing With the Stars, but it’s his off-stage moments with his niece that are truly stealing the show.
In a heartwarming video shared online, the 21-year-old conservationist was seen dancing and laughing with his 4-year-old niece, Grace Warrior, as she helped him practice for his big performance.
The adorable clip shows the pair spinning and swaying together, with huge smiles on their faces.
“Grace is making sure my dance training continues when I get home,” he captioned the video.
He then quipped: “She is prepped and ready for season 50 of @dancingwiththestars,” before sharing his gratitude towards his family for supporting him on his Dancing With the Stars journey.
Grace, the daughter of Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell, looked completely delighted as she danced in step with her uncle. Born on March 25, 2021 – the same date as her parents’ wedding anniversary – Grace has already captured the hearts of Irwin fans around the world.
Robert has always embraced his role as “Uncle Robert,” with this latest moment only adding to the growing collection of sweet memories between the two, with fans praising their bond.
“Everybody else can go home now. Grace has won,” quipped Bindi.
“It’s actually impossible not to fall in love with him,” wrote one user.
Another added, “The world is so proud of you and the amazing man you have become.”
“It’s so cool to see you enjoying this experience with your family! Grace is a star!” wrote a third.
