Social media users are debating whether Robert Irwin's new girlfriend looks like his sister Bindi, with some thinking the likeness is pretty uncanny.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the 18-year-old son of late conservationist Steve Irwin was spotted on a date with a new romantic partner, Heath Ledger's niece Rorie Buckey, at a fine dining restaurant in Brisbane, Australia.

The couple looked loved up as they sat side-by-side at the outdoor restaurant, with Irwin donning a navy button-up shirt while the 18-year-old university student sported a black backless top.

Following the news that the pair might be dating, online users have been left stunned by how much the late Crocodile Hunter's son's girlfriend looks like his 24-year-old sister.

Check out the likeness below:

Commenting under the outlet's post on Facebook, one user wrote after seeing a picture of Buckey: "She looks a little like Bindi."

Another shocked fan then chimed in under the post and said: "Looks like his sister! ?????"

A surprised third follower asked fellow commenters: "Am I the only one who thought that was Bindi?"

Lastly, a fourth user questioned: "Does she look like his sister or is it just me?"

Buckey is the daughter of the late Dark Knight actor's sister Kate - who owns a design and media production company - and Nathan Buckey, a floor coverings store owner.

The outlet reports that the teenager is studying for a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at Curtin University and also has an identical twin sister named Scarlett.

The comments also come after the young couple was spotted enjoying a romantic beachside date in Queensland, Australia, on November 18, per 7News.

After grabbing a burger and fries from a local Grill'd restaurant, the lovebirds enjoyed a sunset stroll and then eventually found a path of grass and sat down.

For the evening, Irwin was wearing a jacket that he later removed to put over his girlfriend's legs to keep her warm. He then threw his arms around Buckey and gave her a big hug.

The duo has plenty in common as both grew up in the public eye after suffering the tragic loss of a family member. In January 2008, Ledger was at the top of his career when he was found dead, following an accidental prescription drug overdose, while Irwin's father died in 2006 after being pierced in the heart by a stingray barb.
