He’s stunned the world with his epic dance moves on the American version of Dancing with the Stars – and it appears Robert Irwin may have got himself a new girlfriend in the process.

The Australian wildlife warrior is said to be “getting cosy” with 19-year-old dance troupe member Hailey Bills.

CDeuxmoi fuelled talk of a romance after sharing a tip-off from a source who appeared to have witnessed it develop.

“Everyone’s favourite DWTS bachelor has paused his search for his American dream girl to have some play time beyond the ballroom,” the blind item, submitted with the subject line “Oh crikey!”, read.

“My source tells me he’s been spotted a few times in ****** **** getting cosy with a brunette…the same one he follows around on set.

“Notice how she’s the only troupe member he follows on Instagram? She’s also been liking some interesting comments on TikTok.”

While the item didn’t name Hailey, internet sleuths quickly noticed that Robert follows the dancer on social media, as well as the pair’s easy chemistry in behind-the-scenes footage from the show.

Who is Hailey Bills?

Hailey could certainly help Robert perfect his dance moves.

She is the niece of longtime DWTS pro Jenna Johnson and began her dancing career at six years old, being accomplished at ballroom, ballet, jazz, hip hop and tap.

Sources have also told the US Sun that she was “all but confirmed” to appear as a pro on the show next year.

“Robert’s been chasing Hailey around on set like a puppy dog. It’s no secret, people see it, but the whole crew is supportive,” an insider told the same publication.

“They love the two of them individually so together they would be even better.

“There’s definitely a lot of attraction there, definitely a lot of flirting,” the source added.

“They seem to have a really good connection and chemistry, that’s for sure.”

However, the mole said the duo were “not yet” officially dating.

“Robert has his eyes on the prize and is just trying to get through this season and come out on top, so nothing is official yet,” they said.
