Robert Irwin – rumored new girlfriend sparks reactions

Ashleigh, 24, is also known for her wildlife photography and conservation work, something she clearly has in common with Robert. Reports say the two have known each other for years, and their shared passion for nature may have brought them even closer recently.

Since Robert Irwin’s split from Rorie Buckey in 2024. He has been linked to a few different women, but nothing has been confirmed. Neither Robert nor Ashleigh has spoken publicly about the rumours.

However, fans are already saying the same thing online — if the two are really dating, they seem like a perfect match thanks to their shared love of wildlife and adventure.

Last month, Robert and Ashleigh were seen on a deep-sea diving trip with U.S. TV personality Dylan Efron.

Robert’s recent appearance with Scully has triggered strong reactions online, with many people questioning whether his mother, Terri Irwin, supports the rumored relationship.

“Does mummy know?”

“Mummy would have a contract drawn up, she couldn’t allow slacking in the money department,” one user wrote.

A second added, “Mummy has the say she has to be American,” while a third stated, “Mummy tells him who he dates so she still has control & Australian girls wouldn’t put up with being controlled by the mother in law.”

A fourth user said, “Won’t last if his mother gets her way…”

“Oh Noo!! Does mummy know?” questioned another.

Lastly, a sixth person said, “Australia is good enough to live in and make an excellent living but Aussies aren’t good enough to date, interesting.”
