Robert first appeared as a guest on the Ten reality show in 2016, alongside mother Terri and sister Bindi.
This time they will be joined by Bindi's husband Chandler Powell, their two-year-old daughter Grace and Buckey.
The big news comes after Robert posted a heartwarming tribute to mark the end of 2023.
The wildlife warrior shared a series of photos of himself with Rorie on Instagram and thanked her for making his year 'bright'.
He then added fuel to the engagement rumors by adding, “Too many years in the future.”
'Thank you for making my 2023 so bright. Here's to many years ahead,” he captioned the sweet post.
Rorie responded to the post by declaring, “I love you with all my heart.”

Robert and Rorie became Instagram official in August, after months of rumors that they were dating.
Rorie reportedly completed an Irwin-approved “wildlife warrior boot camp” before she and Robert became an official couple.
Woman's Day claimed last month that Rorie had to win over the family by being willing to go into nature.
The pair are currently in a long-distance relationship, with Robert based at the Australia Zoo in Queensland, while Rorie is in Perth.

'Robert is crazy about her and is planning something unforgettable when he formally asks her to marry him. They both know it's part of their plans, so he's come up with special ways to make it a surprise.”
The source went on to say that Robert and Rorie take their relationship “very seriously” and are planning a future together.

Robert and Rorie, the niece of legendary Australian actor Heath Ledger, have a lot in common and both grew up in the public eye after suffering the devastating loss of a family member.
Heath was at the top of his Hollywood career when he was found dead of an accidental drug overdose in January 2008.
Robert's father Steve Irwin, known to the world as the 'Crocodile Hunter', died on September 4, 2006 at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray.
