More From Robert

I was I was saying to Whitney…I’ve had coffee three times in my life, and one of those times was this morning. So, I’m like on another plane right now, so this could go anywhere. Yeah. Real jittery…

What? A young person who seldom touches coffee? But, there was so much more to come. Firstly, Robert gave a lot of credit to Witney for his success on DWTS so far. But then the conversation turned to relationships and a future partner in life.

The Person Robert Wants In His Life?

Robert Irwin knows exactly who he wants to spend his life with. Not a specific person, but a certain type. He said, “Well, honestly, I think first of all, I try to surround myself with people, genuine, authentic people.”

He noted that those people “are just really kind.” And, it’s important to him. He explained, “Like, that’s that’s the thing. You…in life, you’ve got to find people that lift you up and that you can kind of just support one another.”

Honoring His Mom & Dad

Admiring his mom, he mentioned how Steve’s death didn’t bring an end to the family’s concern for the environment. Robert Irwin added, “And when dad passed away…mom just carried it all forward.”

“She’s an incredibly strong human being and she made sure that dad was always part of my life,” he explained. Then he said, “and I’m very very grateful for that.
