Dancing with the Stars‘ professional dancer Witney Carson pitched Robert Irwin for The Bachelor after seeing his scroll of DMs from interested ladies.

Heartthrob status:
Witney followed up on her viral TikTok with a message to her Instagram followers.
The DWTS pro wrote, “Girls, I love ya. Thank you for the applications, through my email and flooding the DMs. If I could line you all up with Robert, I would because you’re all 10/10 perfect cuties.”
“We are currently dancing our lives away, so we are unable to respond. Robert for The Bachelor?! Idk, this is too stressful for me to handle lol!”
This is where my imagination (and ChatGPT) took me …
Robert is looking for love:
After DWTS‘s second episode, Robert told E! News that he’s eager to find a life partner to experience the world with. “My life is a whirlwind. It’s an adventure. And I would love to be able to share that with someone and to share those little moments.”
Robert said he’s “still looking for the American girl” who’s gonna steal his heart, and revealed that his pro-partner “has been helping” with the search.
Witney joked, “Well, you have to go through a screening process. So, submit your applications through my DMs, and then I will forward them to [sister] Bindi [Irwin], and then — then we will see.”
After hearing Witney’s high standards, Robert quipped, “I’ve got another protective older sister now.”
In true older sister fashion, Witney then teased, “You will be single forever!”
ICYMI:
Despite Bachelor Nation typically casting from its own talent pool, they broke their own protocol by casting Taylor Frankie Paul.
TFP is a TikTok personality turned reality TV star on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The Bachelor is on ABC, and TSLOMW is on Hulu … both are under The Walt Disney Company umbrella, so it would make perfect sense to cast a DWTS favorite for The Bachelor.
Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 pm on ABC and Disney+.
