Life goes on from Robert Irwin, who was recently cast as one of the contestants in Dancing With the Stars Season 31. 

He will be competing against other A-listers like Charli D'Amelio, Gabby Windey, Jordin Sparks, and more. 

Years ago, Irwin was just a young boy when his older sister, Bindi also competed in Dancing With the Stars and brought home the coveted Mirrorball trophy. 

At the time, Bindi was paired with Derek Hough. As of late, it's still unclear which pro dancer Robert will be paired with. But it's highly likely for his entire family to root for him. 

Unlike Bindi, Robert is not as exposed to the limelight as his sister. In fact, he has not also weighed in on the ongoing issues about his grandfather just like his mom and Bindi. 

According to Woman’s Day, Bob seemingly lives in Exile somewhere in Queensland and far away from the Australia Zoo that he founded decades ago.

In fact, visitors of the zoo noticed that there was no trace of Bob within the acres of land. But there are photos of Steve Irwin and his mom displayed in certain areas of the zoo.

 A source claimed that it was Bob’s decision to distance himself from his son’s family after Steve passed away. After all, he got into a fight with his daughter-in-law, Terri.

But the issues between the in-laws only worsened after Steve and Terri’s children, Bindi and Robert became involved. As a result, Bob has not also met his great-granddaughter, Grace.

“After everything, he just wanted to get as far away as he could from the Australia Zoo, Terri, and the commercial theme park he said she was creating against Steve’s vision. Out there, he can still work with wildlife, but it’s off the grid so he’s rarely bothered. He still talks about Steve and the kids, but it’s with sadness. I’m sure he’s devastated not to know his great-grandchild,” the source said.

Throughout the years, the Irwins have been going back and forth between their issues with each other. Bindi previously claimed that her family has been supporting her grandfather financially and said that they were also the ones who built his home.

However, other relatives lashed out at Bindi for allegedly making up stories and for seemingly shading Bob. They also came to the defense of Steve’s dad and said that he’s a wonderful and kind man.

“You have to wonder what Steven would think about it all. Bindi has taken a public, hard-line stance against her grandfather she’ll never be able to take back. Bob’s head health problems and he’s not getting any younger. It would be great for them to bury the hatchet,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. As of late, there’s no proof that the Irwins are still feuding with each other. And even if they are, their feud is a private matter. So, there’s no reason for tabloids to get involved in the speculations.
