Dancing with the Stars is over, and conservationist and zookeeper Robert Irwin has been crowned the champion. Fans and friends are over the moon, including his one-time dance partner and friend (and potentially more?), actress and former DWTS champion Xochitl Gomez. Xochitl has admitted to being single amid the speculation, but her social media activity, though, may suggest otherwise.
Xochitl Gomez has said she is “single” despite rumors suggesting she and Robert Irwin are dating
Xochitl was among the many celebrities and well-wishers who attended the DWTS finale. She was among those cheering Robert and Witney to their well-deserved victory.
She was stopped for an interview with DWTS pro Jan Ravnik before the finale, and she gave some clarity on her current relationship status.
When asked if she was single, she laughed and answered, “Yes, I am. I am. Yes, I am.” When someone off-camera asked who she hoped would win, Jan said she couldn’t answer that, but she said gamely, “I’m looking right at him,” looking at someone in the distance (possibly Robert).
However, on the heels of the declaration that she was single, some social media activity raised fans’ eyebrows again. Xochitl posted a carousel of photos from the finale. She wrote, ‘What a season! Congratulations to all the finalists.”
The post included photos and videos of her during the finale. It also included a video of the winning moment with her enthusiastic cheers. There was also a cozy snap of Xochitl and Robert together.
But the most adorable (and potentially telling) photo in the post was the last of a much-younger Robert holding his sister Bindi Irwin’s Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy from when she won Season 21. This prompted a comment that said, “posting a baby picture is so girlfriend-coded.”
Thus far, Robert has avoided answering any questions about Xochitl save for saying they had the best time together, and it was “really, really great.”
According to Page Six, an insider has disclosed that they are enjoying each other’s company since connecting through the show. Honestly, if the rumors are true, I don’t think anyone would be mad. They both seem exceptionally nice and joyful, and their chemistry is undeniable.
Dancing with the Stars is available to stream on Disney+.
