Robert Irwin proves that he is not just a fan favorite on Dancing With the Stars Season 34 but is also stealing hearts as the ultimate cool uncle. As the show marked its spooky Week 7 Halloween Night, the Australian animal conservationist brought the celebration home in the most heartwarming way. In an interview with Access Hollywood, the 21-year-old revealed his plans for the upcoming festivity. According to him, he will spend Halloween with Bindi Irwin’s daughter, Grace Warrior. When asked if he would take his niece trick-or-treating, he responded, “Absolutely. I feel that we’re gonna try to match dress up together, Grace and I. It will be fun. We’re just gonna be on sugar high.” The comment section was filled with love as fans gushed over his close bond with his niece. “Love him so much!! Love how he loves his niece!!” one wrote. “I think he’s the best uncle in the world,” a user noted. “He’s the best uncle!” another added. “I hope you and Grace have a great time,” a commenter said. Aside from fans, his sister also chimed in, mentioning her daughter and writing, “She’s so excited!” Last week, Bindi Irwin, who was a DWTS winner, shared that she and Grace had to miss Robert Irwin’s performance after a minor health setback. Taking to Instagram, the wildlife conservationist explained they’d be sitting out the show’s “Wicked Night” as little Grace wasn’t feeling her best. “We absolutely adore being in the audience to celebrate Uncle Robert on @dancingwiththestars. This week, Grace has a little cold, so we’re going to cheer from our living room,” she wrote. Fortunately, Robert Irwin’s journey on the show is far from over after he once again impressed the judges with a lively jazz routine to “Dancing Through Life,” securing third place for the week along with fellow contestants Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten. As Week 7 rolled out its Halloween Night special, he and partner Witney Carson dazzled with a dramatic tango to “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” securing a top score of 38/40. Unfortunately, it was The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck and partner Jan Ravnik who were eliminated after Week 7.
