"Everything's better with Rorie," a smitten Robert Irwin recently confessed of his girlfriend Rorie Buckey. "Life is great." Now sources say the star has decided he wants to spend the rest of his life with the 19-year-old physiotherapy student.
The couple - who were first seen on a date in November 2022 - looked seriously smitten as they attended the annual Steve Irwin Gala dinner in Brisbane on 11 November with the rest of his clan.
"When's the wedding?" asked one fan in response to the evening's glam snaps.
Indeed, sources say that after the event, Robert told mum Terri he's planning to make Rorie - a niece of the late Heath Ledger - an official part of the family.
According to those close to the Irwins, the teen has adjusted well to public life, and she's so comfortable with Robert and his family that it's now just a matter of when, not if, he proposes.
"Bindi likes to warn people they'll get a cavity being around Robert and Rorie at the moment - they're so loved-up, it's incredibly sweet," a family source tells Woman's Day.
