During DWTS’ 20th birthday episode, Robert danced with Mirrorball champ Xochitl Gomez. Their energy and connection sparked dating rumors. However, it seems that Robert is currently single and ready to mingle.

Robert discussed his romantic life during an interview with KIIS FM in Australia. “On behalf of every single woman under the age of 30, are you single?” the interviewer asked.

“Oh, we’re going straight in for the exclusive,” Robert responded. “Yes, yes.” However, Robert is “looking” for a romantic partner. “Oh, definitely. It’s one of these things where I’m like, at this point in my life, where you sort of, you gotta let it happen,” Robert explained. “Because I’m so here and there and everywhere and 100 miles per hour.”

The DWTS champ continued, “I’m open to it. Watch this space. There’s not much to report at the moment,” he added.

In addition, Robert previously explained how difficult it is to date in the spotlight. “Holy moly, that’s so challenging to navigate. Anything you do will be on TikTok the next day,” he explained. “I never change what I say, what I do, who I am one bit, wherever I am. It’s just me, and I stand by who I am.”

Dancing with the Stars is available to stream on Disney+.
