Joined at the hip! Terri and Robert Irwin bid farewell to their American relatives during family trip to Oregon after it’s pointed out his protective mother goes everywhere with him

Robert and Terri Irwin enjoyed precious family time in the US last month, catching up with their American relatives.

The famous conservationists were spotted saying goodbye to family and friends outside Terri’s sister’s home in Oregon.

Irwin matriarch Terri, 59, seemed excited to be reunited with her loved ones and laughed loudly as the group chatted outside the property.

The mother of two had a casual look and wore a white cardigan decorated with strawberries, paired with jeans.

Meanwhile, Robert looked dapper in his navy blue polo shirt, teamed with tan trousers and brown sneakers.

He had his hands full with an iPhone and a bottle of water and stayed close to his mother.

The sighting comes after Robert and Terri received backlash last month after the mother-son duo shared photos of their recent adventures on Instagram.

‘Are Robert and his mother joined at the hip? She’s in every photo you see of him,” one person wrote in the comments, while another added: “He’s 20 now!”

However, there was plenty of support for their close relationship, with one person replying: ‘He’s a lucky young man to have hair.’

Another wrote: ‘People say why Robert has his mother in so many pictures. Remember that every day is precious. Life is fragile. The Irwin’s, like millions of other families, have experienced loss on a monumental scale.”

Meanwhile, and I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! The Australian producer expressed concern over co-host Robert’s decision to bring his protective mother Terri onto set.

Terri joined her son on his trip to South Africa as he filmed his debut season of the hit Channel 10 program alongside co-host Julia Morris, 55.

Speaking exclusively to Ny Breaking Australia, an anonymous producer has admitted that Terri’s presence on set every day is ‘a bit creepy’, saying: ‘It gives off a ‘taking your mum to school’ vibe.

Terri, who has been in charge of Robert and his big sister Bindi’s showbiz careers since the death of their father Steve in 2006, has apparently kept a close eye on everything Robert does while working on the programme.
