Robert Irwin was spotted befriending his new girlfriend, Rorie Buckley, on a romantic day in Queensland.
The 19-year-old wildlife photographer was smitten with his date, who comes from an equally famous Australian family and is the daughter of Heath Ledger’s sister Kate.
The couple were seen leaving a Grill’d takeaway restaurant late last month and then headed to the beach to cuddle together and watch the sunset.

Robert and Rorie have a lot in common – they both grew up in the public eye after suffering the devastating loss of a family member.
Heath was at the peak of his Hollywood career when he was found dead in January 2008 from an accidental prescription drug overdose.

Like Rorie, Robert is familiar with the loss as father Steve, known to the world as the “Crocodile Hunter”, died on September 4, 2006 after being stung in the chest by a stingray.
Steve is survived by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi and son Robert – who was just two years old when his father died.
Like Heath’s sister, Robert and the Irwin family have vowed to keep Steve’s memory alive through their conservation work at Australia Zoo.
