“My poor little heart,” one follower wrote alongside a crying emoji.
“Oh my god I wish it was me lol but you look beyond happy,” added another.
‘IT’S HAPPENING!!’ commented a third, before another added, “She’s gorgeous!”
Rumor has it that Robert is so in love with his new girlfriend Rorie that he is considering moving across the country to be closer to her.
The conservationist recently dropped a big hint that he might soon be packing his bags and leaving his home at the Australia Zoo, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Just a day after reports surfaced that Robert wants to move to Perth, where Rorie lives, he took to Instagram to share a gallery of photos he recently took.
The photos were all signs, labels, or book titles with his first name on them—a hobby the amateur photographer likes to call collecting “Roberts of the world.”
One of the photos was of a road sign that read “Roberts Rd,” which some Irwin superfans interpreted as Robert taking his life in a new direction.
The conservationist recently dropped a big hint that he might soon be packing his bags and leaving his home at the Australia Zoo, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
The social media clue follows an unconfirmed report in Woman’s Day magazine that Robert plans to leave his family’s zoo and move across the country to Perth.
Rorie studies at a university in the capital of Western Australia.
The young couple are said to be finding their long-distance relationship tough, with a source claiming the journey between WA and Queensland is ‘hellish’ for them.
“It’s really hurting,” said an insider.
“Just when they really want to explore their relationship, there’s a hellish distance between them,” she added.

“Rorie is stuck in Perth with her studies, so the logical solution is for Robert to move there—at least for a while—and her parents are convinced he’ll stay with them.”
Rorie’s family extends a warm welcome to Robert, and her parents say they are the “perfect match.”
“They’re a really tight team, and if Robert is willing to make the sacrifice to move to the big city for their daughter, they’ll do whatever they can to make it work,” the source added.
While Robert’s mother Terri is apparently worried that the pair are moving “too fast,” she’s reportedly open to the idea of her son temporarily moving to the highway.
According to the magazine, Terri knows Robert is in “good hands” and wants to get to know Rorie’s parents if her son chooses to move to Western Australia.
The family matriarch has even invited the Buckeys to the Australia Zoo for Christmas.
Robert and Rorie made their red carpet debut in Sydney last month for the premiere of the new Mission: Impossible movie.
