Robert Irwin effortlessly sidestepped a probing question about former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Xochitl Gomez during an interview with “Chicks in the Office” podcast hosts. The conservationist, who recently danced a flirty jive with Gomez on the show’s 20th-anniversary episode, kept his cool when asked about judge Derek Hough commenting on their “chemistry.”
During the podcast, Irwin laughed off Hough’s observation, attributing it to the close-knit atmosphere of the ballroom. He playfully referred to his partner Witney Carson as his older sister and Hough as his older brother, recalling their connection since he was 10 years old when his sister Bindi Irwin was partnered with Hough during her winning season in 2015.
Despite the playful banter, Irwin made sure to praise Gomez’s dancing skills, emphasizing her talent on the dance floor. The conversation then turned to the upcoming week on the show, where contestants would be repeating a dance style they have previously performed. Irwin and Carson were set to perform a jive, with Carson praising Irwin’s energy levels and their previous successful performance.
Irwin also briefly discussed his excitement for the upcoming performance but avoided addressing any rumors about his relationship with Gomez. Despite the persistent questioning, Irwin maintained a diplomatic and light-hearted demeanor, focusing on the fun he had during the dance and the energy of the performances.
In the world of dance competitions and celebrity partnerships, Irwin’s ability to navigate questions with grace and humor showcases not only his dancing skills but also his ability to handle tricky situations with finesse. As the show progresses, viewers can look forward to more electrifying performances from this dynamic duo.
Irwin’s nonchalant response to rumors and his focus on the joy of dancing with Gomez highlights the camaraderie and teamwork inherent in the competition. As the competition heats up, it’s clear that Irwin is not just a talented dancer but also a master at handling media scrutiny with ease.
