Taking to Instagram on Monday, the Wildlife Warrior gave his fans a glimpse into the duo’s love life, with one photo showing the duo cuddling under a cherry blossom tree.

He captioned the collection of photos with, “Recently…” along with sun, plane and heart emojis.
The post comes after Robert broke his silence on engagement rumors swirling around the couple.

On Fridays Fitzy and Wippa along Kate Ritchie, Robert spoke candidly about his relationship after host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli broached the subject.
“I feel like life is great right now [I’m] very, very happy,” Irwin said.
After discussing his sister Bindi, Wippa called the relationship “great news” and then asked how serious the young zookeeper Buckey was on a scale of 1 to 10: “is it a 10?”
Robert then gave a heartwarming answer: ‘Love is not a numbers game. You just feel it.’

The source went on to say that Robert and Rorie take their relationship “very seriously” and are planning a future together.
“They’ve talked about where to live and even how big they want their family to be,” she added.
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.
‘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 said.
The pair are currently in a long-distance relationship, with Robert based at the Australia Zoo in Queensland, while Rorie is in Perth.
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.
