It\u2019s probably the main reason why the latest round of romance rumours surrounding the wildlife warrior seems entirely believable. <\/p>\n<p>According to recent reports, Irwin, 22, was recently spotted looking rather cosy with US wildlife photographer Ashleigh Scully, 24. <\/p>\n<p>After a stint in the US competing on Dancing with the Stars and zooming across to South Africa for I\u2019m A Celebrity \u2026 Get Me Out Of Here!, Irwin is back on home soil and has started production on a new project on the Gold Coast, which Scully is also believed to be involved in, as per the <a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.couriermail.com.au\/entertainment\/robert-irwin-sparks-fresh-romance-rumours-with-photographer-ashleigh-scully\/news-story\/0f40ae9e6d84e41274af04e7a9bdd565\" data-tgev=\"event119\" data-tgev-container=\"bodylink\" data-tgev-order=\"0f40ae9e6d84e41274af04e7a9bdd565\" data-tgev-label=\"entertainment\" data-tgev-metric=\"ev\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Courier Mail. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>MORE:<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate.com.au\/news\/australias-most-famous-property-heirs-and-heiresses\/?campaignType=external&amp;campaignChannel=syndication&amp;campaignName=ncacont&amp;campaignContent=&amp;campaignSource=newscomau&amp;campaignPlacement=realestatemodule\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"www.realestate.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Robert\u2019s sad fortune left by Steve Irwin<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While it is unclear if the pair, who have reportedly known each other for almost a decade, are actually dating, they appeared to be relaxed and enjoying each other\u2019s company \u2013 hinting at possibly more than just a friendship or working relationship. <\/p>\n<p>MORE:<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realestate.com.au\/news\/property-speculation-over-how-robert-irwin-will-spend-75m-wealth\/?campaignType=external&amp;campaignChannel=syndication&amp;campaignName=ncacont&amp;campaignContent=&amp;campaignSource=newscomau&amp;campaignPlacement=realestatemodule\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"www.realestate.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Robert Irwin\u2019s net wealth revealed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since his very public split from Rorie Buckey in 2024, Irwin has done his best to keep his romantic life out of the spotlight. Still, that hasn\u2019t stopped fans from watching and analysing his every move when it comes to the opposite sex. <\/p>\n<p>In October last year, Irwin was linked with American DWTS troupe dancer, Hailey Bills, who was 19 at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrity gossip account <a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/deuxmoi\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deux Moi<\/a> was the first to circulate the rumours claiming the back-up dancer had sparked a special friendship with the khaki-clad Aussie behind the scenes \u2013 even appearing in a few TikTok videos together. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy sources tell me he\u2019s been spotted a few times getting cosy with a brunette \u2026 The same one he follows around on set. She\u2019s the only troupe member he follows on Instagram,\u201d the account shared.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this rumoured romance, Irwin was linked to<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/entertainment\/celebrity-life\/hook-ups-break-ups\/robert-irwins-rumoured-new-girlfriend-revealed\/news-story\/66fcd368c3739e4a0b1c7e2b8577a0f3\" data-tgev=\"event119\" data-tgev-container=\"bodylink\" data-tgev-order=\"66fcd368c3739e4a0b1c7e2b8577a0f3\" data-tgev-label=\"entertainment\" data-tgev-metric=\"ev\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Australia Zoo employee Charlotte Briggs. <\/a>The pair was photographed arriving in Sydney together ahead of Irwin\u2019s appearance on The Project, alongside his mother Terri, and later checking in to the same luxury hotel. <\/p>\n<p>Irwin\u2019s latest rumoured girlfriend is certainly a great fit with both sharing the same passion for wildlife and capturing them in their natural habitat. <\/p>\n<p>Scully has been a photographer, capturing mostly Arctic wildlife and underwater animals, since she was eight years old. She currently resides in Jackson, Wyoming. <\/p>\n<p>In her latest post on<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ascullyphoto\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram<\/a>, Scully welcomes new followers to her already impressive 161K fanbase, giving them her backstory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of my portfolio comes from Jersey, Wyoming, Alaska, Norway and the oceans in between,\u201d she writes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a Division 1 athlete for five years, completing my BA and MA in literature in 5 years due to NCAA eligibility from the pandemic.
