It has been an incredible year for Robert Irwin! He was crowned the latest Mirrorball champion after winning “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34. He landed a role in Disney’s “Zootopia 2,” and he continues to do incredible work as a wildlife conservationist. And he achieved all of this before his 22nd birthday, which he celebrated on Monday, December 1.
The public loves Irwin and his family, and he won over even more fans during his time on the ABC dance competition, where he competed alongside professional dance partner Witney Carson. It was not just his dancing that impressed audiences, but his energy and zest for life. There is no denying Irwin is loved by many, but no one loves him more than his mom, Terri Irwin.
Terri celebrated her youngest child’s birthday with a sweet Instagram tribute. The photos show Robert throughout the years, from a tiny baby to an adult. While most mothers and fathers may share a collection of pictures of their child holding their favorite toy or doing something cute or silly, Robert’s pictures all feature an albino Burmese python. Why? Because Robert did not have a typical childhood and grew up at the Australia Zoo, and what he has experienced is spectacular!
