It's Instagram official guys - Steve Irwin's son, Robert, is in a relationship with Heath Ledger's niece.
The 19-year-old was first spotted out and about with Rorie Buckey back in 2022 when the two were caught cuddling during a picnic date in Queensland, Australia.
The pair were seen leaving a Grill'd restaurant with takeaway and then heading to the beach to snuggle and watch the sunset together - the pinnacle of teenage romance.
Fans on social media speculated whether this Australian power couple would stand the test of time.
Lo and behold, the pair made their red carpet debut just a few months later while appearing at the Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One premiere in Sydney, Australia.
The wildlife photographer was all smiles as he sported an all-black suit, while his girlfriend coordinated with an asymmetrical black gown with a side cutout.
The couple did not shy away from a little bit of PDA in front of the cameras - Irwin confidently held Buckey around her waist as they smiled gracefully at photographers. They also exchanged many loving glances at each other throughout the night which were also snapped by the paparazzi.
So with all this content, fans were hoping that the pair would finally confirm their relationship, and what better way to do it than to go Instagram official?
Taking to the photo-sharing platform last week, Buckey shared a photo of her and her boyfriend on Instagram last week, with the caption 'Adventure buddy' while Irwin also doubled down on their love by sharing a selfie of him and his girlfriend standing under a tree, smiling at the camera.
He even tagged the 18-year-old in the post.
A few minutes after posting the snapshot, the comment section started going off.
"You just broke the hearts of tens of thousands of young girls across the world. Congrats tho," wrote one user.
"Gday Rob, the neice is crying thanks mate - anyway cob ooroo," another added.
A third heartbroken Instagrammer commented: "Siri play 'that should be me' by Justin Bieber."
And the comments didn't stop there.
"Just fell to my knees in a parking lot," another user wrote under the post while this person added: "My poor little heart."
Despite the heartbreak of his fans, it's amazing to see young love thriving. We couldn't be happier for Irwin and Buckey, and we hope that their newfound love goes the distance!
