Dancing with Drama: Robert Irwin's Shocking New Dance Partner Revealed!

In a jaw-dropping twist, Australian wildlife warrior and heartthrob Robert Irwin has finally announced his new dance partner for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars US - and it's a bombshell that's got everyone talking!

Meet Witney Carson, a 31-year-old professional Latin ballroom dancer and choreographer who bears an uncanny resemblance to Robert's ex-girlfriend Rorie Buckey. Yes, you read that right! The striking similarity between Witney and Rorie has left fans gagging, with many wondering if Robert is trying to rekindle old flames or simply seeking a dance partner who shares his favorite features.

The performer, who was announced as the conservationist's dance partner this week, bears the same warm smile and sandy locks as Robert's former flame

Witney's sun-kissed locks and warm smile are almost identical to Rorie's, while their eyes, noses, and grins seem to be carbon copies of each other. The eerie resemblance has raised eyebrows across the globe, with many speculating about Robert's motivations for choosing Witney as his dance partner.

But what makes this news even more intriguing is that Robert split from Rorie just a few months ago in February 2024. The pair had been dating since November 2022 and went Instagram official in August 2023, but their whirlwind romance ended with a joint statement announcing they were going their separate ways.

Now, it seems like Robert is moving on with his dancing career - and possibly his heart? Sources close to the family claim that Robert was "all smiles" when he posed next to Witney for a photo shoot shared on Instagram, cuddling up to her while surrounded by an enormous white and yellow python. Yes, you read that right again! The snake-loving wildlife warrior is at it again!

Witney's response to being chosen as Robert's dance partner has been nothing short of glowing. In the same photo shoot, she beamed with excitement as she wrapped her arms around Robert and let a snake slither its way around her torso. The sizzling chemistry between them is undeniable, leaving fans wondering if this could be more than just a platonic partnership.

With Robert's appearance on Dancing with the Stars marking a decade since his sister Bindi's triumphant win in 2015, it seems like he's determined to make his own mark on the competitive dancing series. But will Witney's uncanny resemblance to Rorie affect their chances of winning? Only time - and perhaps a little bit of drama - will tell!

As Robert Irwin prepares to take the stage by storm alongside Witney Carson, fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an unforgettable season of Dancing with the Stars US. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy storyline, folks!
