The real red flag in Robert Irwin and Rorie Buckey’s relationship revealed as fans take aim at his mother Terri and sister Bindi

Fans of Robert Irwin have spoken out about what they believe was the real red flag in the Wildlife Warrior’s ill-fated romance with ex-girlfriend Rorie Buckey.

Robert, 20, raised eyebrows on Sunday when he shared a video on Instagram in which he joked about how he would do it overlooked a huge ‘red flag’.

His statement related to a grammatical error in a sign at the Australia Zoo that read ‘Danger: No swimming crocodiles’.

His use of the term “red flag” subsequently sparked an online discussion about the red flags in his two-year relationship with Rorie, which ended in February.

Many users have speculated that Robert’s famously protective “momager” Terri may have contributed to the split, with one commenting: “Mommy is the red flag.”

“The biggest red flag for Robert is his mother,” another agreed, before pointing out that Terri had accompanied her son to South Africa while he hosted I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

“Isn’t his mother still following him?” someone else wrote, while a fourth added: ‘He needs to free himself from his mother’s apron strings. He’s not ten years old anymore.’

Others suggested that his sister Bindi, who has always had a very close bond with Robert, may also have had a hand in the breakup.

‘The poor girl missed the warning signs of dearest mother and sister. A lucky escape for her,” one person wrote.

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

His use of the term “red flag” subsequently sparked an online discussion about the red flags in his two-year relationship with Rorie – with many speculating that his protective “momager” Terri had a hand in the split.

Speaking exclusively to Ny Breaking Australia earlier this month, an unnamed producer admitted Terri’s presence on set each day gave it “the vibe of taking your mum to school camp”.

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.

“The two have a great relationship and Terri couldn’t be nicer, but there aren’t many situations where employees have their mom with them at work just to make sure everything is okay,” the insider said.

Comparing Terri to the Kardashians’ famous “momager” Kris Jenner, the producer claimed that Robert Irwin’s contract even included a section that allowed him to bring his family on set.

‘The deal was finalized when Robert signed on as host at the end of last year. He wanted his family to come with him,” they claimed, adding: “Maybe it will just be for this series, but maybe Terri will always be in the wings. Who knows’.

Robert and Rorie announced their divorce in February by posting a joint statement on Instagram.

The statement read: ‘We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways, but greatly appreciate all the time we have spent together and wish each other all the best for the future.

“We want to express the gratitude and respect we have for each other as we continue our journeys on different paths.

“We will have no further comment on this matter and appreciate your respect and privacy at this time.”

After sharing the devastating news, Robert deleted Rorie from his Instagram as his grid now only shows posts featuring himself and his family.
