Robert Irwin is everything his father would have wanted him to be, and he's recently made more public outings with his girlfriend - who fans think shares an uncanny resemblance to his sister!

As per the Daily Mail, Robert, 19, and his girlfriend Rorie Buckey, 19, were first spotted on a romantic date in Brisbane, Australia as they sat side by side enjoying a meal at an outdoor restaurant.

Robert is famously the son of the late, great, Steve Irwin - while Rorie is the niece of the beloved actor Heath Ledger, who tragically passed away in 2008.

Once the news came out that the pair were dating, fans were stunned by the striking similarities between Robert's new love interest and his 25-year-old sister, Bindi.

Another shocked fan couldn't help but exclaim: "Looks like his sister! ?????," while a third added: "Am I the only one who thought that was Bindi?"

Earlier this year, Robert and Rorie made their red carpet debut together at the premiere of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One in Sydney, Australia.

Robert, a talented wildlife photographer, opted for a classic black suit, while Rorie chose an eye-catching asymmetrical black gown with an elegant side cutout.

Their affectionate demeanor stole the spotlight, as they happily posed for the cameras. In one heartwarming moment, Robert tenderly held Rorie around her waist, radiating joy and happiness.

Since the happy couple were first spotted together at the outdoor restaurant, they've been seen together on multiple occasions, including a memorable outing at Perth Airport in April. Their budding romance even has the blessing of Rorie's father, who enthusiastically approved of their relationship, as per the Daily Mail.

As is the nature of his work, Robert often comes into close contact with dangerous creatures, evidenced when he was bitten by the same species of snake that bit his father decades ago.

Despite the scary incident and a nasty wound, Robert remained composed and even managed to joke about it on camera, saying, "Luckily it didn't get my eyeball."

We can't wait to see more of Robert and Rorie as their relationship blossoms!
