On an unforgettable night of “Dancing with the Stars,” wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin left both the audience and the judges in tears with a heartfelt performance dedicated to his mother, Terri Irwin.
The emotional tribute, performed during the show’s Dedication Night, became one of the most talked-about moments of the 2025 season.
A Tribute to His Mother and Late Father, Steve Irwin
Dancing alongside professional partner Witney Carson, Robert performed to Phil Collins “You’ll Be in My Heart”, the same song that played during his father’s memorial nearly two decades ago. The dance served as a moving reminder of both love and loss within the Irwin family.
The performance wasn’t just about dance it was about healing and gratitude. Robert shared how much strength his mother gave him after losing his father, Steve Irwin, when he was just a child.
